Here's a fun piece from State Library Victoria about the real-life antecedents to Fallen London's rude and faintly menacing Rose-gifts. Granted, the Surface examples tend more towards "bawdy jibes" and less "veiled death-threats", but that's the Neath for you - life is cheaper than mutton down here.

Wait. You can get mutton? Who's your supplier?

Well, technically it's just meat from Mutton Island, but a little mysterious well-bait never hurt anyone.*

Lady of Cold Steel, Lady of the Flit, Lady Alyssana Grey. A formidable woman, hard to read and slow to trust. Darkness lurks inside her.
Alts: (please direct all inquiries to Alys & say who they're for)
-Nikki, the Playful Daredevil, leading the constables on merry chases across London at every available opportunity. It's not a good robbery if you didn't get chased~
-Shylarah, waifish, wide-eyed, painfully foreign, entirely untamed. Her search for a way home now leads her to Parabola. There's something about her...
-Dr. Maxwell Thomas, a kindhearted physician who can't stand to see suffering. Moral to a fault, even to his own detriment. Unlucky in love.
I would rather be taken for a fool than deny aid where it is needed.
-Angie, the Cheeky Sharpshooter. Got her start with the Regiment and proudly operated their cannon for years. Rowdy, rough, and among the best shots in London.
