Cat sent, do hurry. I used the toughest box I could find but with enough time it'll be cross enough to wangle its way out of all seven locks.

Then 2 action at the duchess for unaccountably peckish (2 scandal, 8 nightmare)
...
2 public lectures at quarter (2 suspect and good connections for salon).

Anyone know good sources for getting up to Unaccountably Peckish 2? I'm stuck at 1 +1cp, and can't get to the Duchess option.
