Blood-soaked handkerchief . . . should be in your inventory with the others 
(Am I the only one with Griswine left?) XD
No, indeed, I still have my cup of Griswine. I am wondering how one gets to use it.
As do I I'm fairly sure it's ment to be a souvenir

Thinking about it, I find the ending I got hilarious.
[spoiler]So the daughter comes all the way from Vienna to take revenge on her father, and what does she take from him? Eyes he can't use, a secret he went to great lengths to forget, and a life that won't stay gone for long. And all because my character found it funnier not to tell her how Death (not) works in the Neath...[/spoiler]

While you can't use it in the game right now, it would be very handy if you ever need to poison someone in a non-lethal and easily reversible, but potentially permanent manner.

The conclusion in which you take the secret is echoed on my profile and the secret itself is displayed as my mantelpiece.
On a separate note can you use the items gained from the Flint arc yet, or will that come later?

Interesting. Thank you. Though I find your decision interesting in light of the content of the "They say" quote on your profile.

If you didn't drink it in the garden of statues and become a statue, there's no use for it now. The item from Flint that goes towards the reward for completing all three Heart's Blood stories is the Collection of Essences from a Prison of Flint, as far as I know.
Actually, that's what I figured. I'm content with that; I like it as a souvenir, and have no desire to be a statue, even briefly.

Wilhelm came to the neath to avenge a murder, and in the course of pursuing his vengeance he's done terrible things.
The last line in completion is "He who fights monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster."
This is doubly appropriate in that he is a Monster Hunter.
He was once a good man but all that remains of him is a thirst for vengeance and a hunger for secrets that could help him achieve it.

Without a doubt my favorite Exceptional Story, and quite possibly my favorite piece of Fallen London content, and I've played alllll of it.
I strongly recommend "Tales from the Vienna Woods" as a soundtrack while playing through the content, and, of course, to not skip any possible avenue of discussion.
[spoiler]
The Old Man and the Woods in Winter are now my new favorite mystery in Fallen London, and I can barely wait for new content regarding those topics!

A truly lovely exceptional story. I found myself hard-pressed to make a choice at the end and am glad of the one I chose, though there were other tempting options. I regret my choice for last month's story, but I think it's fascinating that making moral choices in the neath is often inscrutably difficult.

About your spoiler:
[spoiler]The Woods in Winter sound an awful lot like the Castle of Forests in Parabola. "Here is the Castle of Forests (white trees in darkness or black bark in snow?)"[/spoiler]

Does anyone have the ending and reward(s) from making way for the Aesthete?

My thoughts on the topic, and an unrelated question:
[spoiler]It's interesting to note though that, in this case at least, the Woods in Winter were explicitly actual surface woods. Parabola can't connect to the surface, so perhaps it's a case of mirroring.

Wasn't the Duke the one with the handkerchief? I chose to meet him without alerting the Aesthete and at the end he gave me them.

It's providing an appropriate dramatic setting :P
Also I noticed a typo in one ending:
[spoiler]...he whispers. They waltz plays on. They do not move...

A minor infelicity in the wording of the instructions text at the end:
[spoiler]If you choose to encourage a reconciliation by dancing with the Duke, the text says "You will need to dance with the Aesthete and seek an attempted reconciliation with her, if you have not done so already." But you are only given the option to let her dance with _him_, not you.
And then you can whisper to her, so it works out okay, but it was a little scary, because it didn't seem like it ought to work based on what was said.[/spoiler]
I thought this was lovely, very melancholy and emotionally engaging. Echoes start here.

A truly good story, gents!
I'm a little curious, though, as to why there seem to be options about halfway through the story to end them early. Does anyone actually ever take those? They seem put in only as an option to not get your money's worth.
