![]() ![]() The scene wherein he realises that his hired assassins’ wages have been itemised and logged in years of accounting ledgers is a joy to watch. Meanwhile, Adora may have discovered a way to take down the clacks system by using a code, a sequence of letters that freezes the towers’ shutters, but it only works temporarily as Mr Pony, a former employee of the Dearhearts who now works grudgingly for Gilt, is strongly encouraged to find a fix by Reacher dangling his niece from the top of a clacks tower and threatening to drop her.ĭavid Suchet does sinister with a comic twist like few actors I can picture. Moist institutes stage coach delivery and Gilt sends bandits on horseback to rob the coach.Įfforts to restore the post office roof go a little better when Moist fakes a possession and leads a crowd to money he’d buried before he was captured and imprisoned, which is put to good use to pay for repairs to the burnt post office. The post office reduces the price of mail delivery, and the clacks counters with a mobile service. With the posties uncharred and accounted for and a fleet of dedicated Golems and carriers added to the workforce, the battle of the message delivery systems is back in full force.
