Thoroughly enjoying this series, but...

...this installment seemed to slip a bit. Considering how perfectly you capture the Victorian prose style, watching the verb tense slip into the present form made me wince a bit. It wouldn't hurt to go back and make some quick corrections. I'm only suggesting this because you seem like one of the few writers on this site who has a real prose style, so when it goes off the rails slightly it's especially jarring.

Once again, love the series overall. "It's a real movie, Jack!" :)

18th Century better

Damn drop! If your story was in the 17th or 18th century, he would have been turned off a ladder, and danced for the ladies for a few minutes.
