Overflowing with Appalling Secrets

I've built up a sizable cache of Appareling Secrets, but I can't decide whether the Sister Trio would be better ears or if I should consult the Cat of the Duchess. I do not require a bulk of Tales of Terror nor one of Journals of Infamy, nor the items they produce. Would it be wiser to save my secrets or is there a superior exchange path? Or would I likely desire to turn them into Extraordinary Implications, and as such ought to wait until I gain enough University connections in either Benthic or Summerset to know which path will be open for me?

Mind your decorum, dear friend. It is not polite to taunt the lower classes.

One thing you could do is exchange the secrets for either of the next tier, and then trade them over to other tier three items to get what you need for your current goals. Check out http://echobazaar.wikidot.com/item-conversions, and see if there is anything in the third column of the lower graph that you need, or that you could turn into something else that you might need. Those are the two best conversion rates that I know of though, except for a few cards or one time story steps.
Depending on what you've done already, this could be a good way to work towards a tier 3 home, or towards some PoSI items.

By Sizable Cache I meant enough to do the bulk conversion. That's what, 16 echoes just of Appalling Secrets? Nothing to snub your nose at, especially for a PoLI

Seriously, do not, I repeat, DO NOT convert your secrets at this stage of the game! You are going to want them and want them badly just a few levels and they will have no end of uses from where you are now until where you will want to be.
More importantly, don't waste the action trying to convert them. At lower stages of the game there is so much cool stuff to do I don't know why you'd want to waste your time converting items.
I reiterate what others have said: Keep those secrets in the cupboard and only use them when you need them, else you'll miss them when they're gone.
