Feast of the Rose 2015: best masquing storylets!

Hello everyone. The feast of the exceptional Rose is indeed very interesting, and a great many things can be done with this masquing quality. However, considering the many options on the opportunity card for the exceptional rose, it is not always easy to find which are the best options to find the so coveted masquing.
In this post I'm going to give you the result of my experiments so far, and the best places to grind:
Depending on the airs of London, you can have 4 sets of options on the opportunity card. (I found 4 so far)
One of these sets contains the Duches' banquet, where you can meet the Captivating Princess.
For the other 3, here are the three storylets (one each) that lets you have more than 1 masquing:
- A face from the past - "Don't remind yourself" => 2 masquing and 8 romantic notions
- A lover's tryst - "Arrange to meet by the silver fountain" => 2 masquing, 1 touching love story, 1 stolen kiss
- Buy a kiss from Sinning Jenny - "Negotiate a little first" => 2 masquing, 1 stolen kiss
for when the air of London causes you to have the Duchess' banquet and associate options, I do not know which one is best. Only thing the banquet should be avoided unless you have 15 masquing and want to get acquainted with the captivating princess (gives you a dreadful surmise), the other options give no masquing and rewards worthy of the poorest options of the "not significant individual".
If you know any more of the good options, you are welcome to post them

Singing Jenny has a rare "success" that is very, very negative for the player. However, the requirements for the storylet are much lower than the silver fountain. (Also, it's Singing Jenny. She's super cool.)
Though Jenny might indeed sing, one should note that she is called "Sinning Jenny", so singing is not what she is most known for :-)

Could use second chances on the silver fountain if you're a bit low.
Does using perhaps not not work there?
I assume it doesn't because of the nature of the storylet -- it seems to work like Implausible Penance and similar cards. If you Perhaps Not, I would assume the storylet vanishes. But I haven't tired it.

Also you can get gifts of adoration once your masquing is maxed which can be converted to masquing later once Lilac starts appearing.'
I am totally uncertain as to how those work! Do tell? Are they any more useful than just using the Feast of the Rose card?
edit: small typo.

Okay that would make sense.
And the wiki says giving them to lilac caps at 27 masquing instead of 20. Plus you could collect them even when you're at 20 masquing already and spend them after your masquing has gone down from buying companions.
