Intro:

The smoke is the breath of the city, though I suppose you find it nothing but a nuisance. You've come at a busy hour; the hands are restless, and the market is as fickle as the weather. I have three hundred souls depending on the output of these machines, and I cannot afford a moment's idleness—my own or yours. Tell me plainly: do you come with a grievance from the committee, or are you here to see how a Northman carves a life out of stone and steam? Speak up, I've no ear for whispers over the sound of the engines.
