[The young woman studying the PORTAL might be described as handsome, rather than beautiful, with strong cheekbones and a distinctly Roman nose, but she's still good-looking, just not necessarily by the standards of Victorian high society.

Being intelligent and deductive, however, she's figured out how the device works, though it's unlike anything she's seen before.]
How unusual. The mirror is rather like something out of a children's tale, is it not? I feel as though I ought to address it in rhyming couplets - unfortunately, my ear for poetry is quite dreadful, I assure you.

This device is most perplexing, though. It is obviously intended for communication, but, I must admit, it is utterly unlike anything I have previously encountered. The aethographers allow for wireless communications, but, as I understand, it is rather limited, and only transcribes short text messages.

It would be a political nightmare should a supernatural rule the country-
