The Messenger Hints

How can I help the Marchioness cool down?

  • 1 of 10: Her cup seems to be empty.
  • 2 of 10: Perhaps if she had a cool drink?
  • 3 of 10: How about a glass of champagne?
  • 4 of 10: But champagne isn't enough; this is an aristocrat, remember.
  • 5 of 10: She's a fine lady; she'll need something to go with the champagne.
  • 6 of 10: She obviously likes fine jewelry.
  • 7 of 10: Perhaps a string of pearls might help.
  • 8 of 10: She won't take the string of pearls by itself.
  • 9 of 10: Combine the pearls with the champagne, and give them to the Marchioness.
  • 10 of 10: Don't forget to look closely at the small table beside her, afterwards.
