"What can you find at Mrs Plenty's Most Distracting Carnival? Smoke and mirrors! Light and shade! Bright paint and squealing children and the roar of lions! And the music, as a great man once said, is like electric sugar."
Mrs Plenty's Most Distracting Carnival, run by a wealthy lady by the name of Mrs Plenty, is a year-round fair held east of Spite. It features several notable attractions.
Madame Shoshana
"Who is Madame Shoshana? The Neath's most mystical fortune-teller. You can tell this by the number of silk scarves she wears, and the size of her crystal ball. She can be found in a stuffy little tent tucked away behind the Hall of Mirrors at Mrs Plenty’s. The secrets of the future can be yours! For a price."
"Do you seek to know the future? Ask Madame Shoshana. The cards she uses are a little disturbing, but there's no doubting they get results. Just hope you don’t turn over the Blacksmith. Or the Boat. Or the Gibbet."
"What's in the stars? Ask Madame Shoshana to cast your horoscope. We all know those aren’t stars in the roof of the Neath, but that’s no barrier to good honest superstition. Those born under the signs of the Bat and the Lantern are particularly lucky people. Be glad, too, that you weren’t born during the month of the Hunter. That wouldn’t be a good thing. No."
Madame Shoshana specializes in tea leaves, palm-reading, tarot cards, and of course, scrying into her crystal ball. She may also give advice regarding romance, investigation, or art. As it turns out, however, fortune-telling is about as real as it is on the Surface.
Beneath the Neath
"At MRS PLENTY'S CARNIVAL, ENJOY a DIVERTING EDUCATIONAL AND THRILLING RIDE into the CHASMIC ABYSMS of SUB-SUBTERRANEAN TROGLODYTRY! SEE the FOSSILS OF the ELDER PAST! ENJOY our PAINSTAKING RECREATION of the HELLS OF ANTIQUITY! (REFUNDS NOT AVAILABLE in case of UNWISE DEATH.)"
Beneath the Neath is a ride that takes passengers, of course, into the deepest depths of the Neath. The lucky riders are able to overhear useful gossip, or even grab amber. The unlucky riders come out with bumps and bruises. The very unlucky ones die.
The House of Mirrors
"Who manages the House of Mirrors? Is it Mr Mirrors itself? Surely not. No Master would lower itself to become a carnival showman. But it is a sinister place. And it surely can't turn a profit."
A maze of mirrors. Don't look too deep, or you might fall in.
Who is Mrs Plenty?

"They says I 'asn't got an 'eart. They're wrong about that. I 'ate to see you chuckin' yer 'ole self away like this. But, more'n that, I got certain duties I can't get out of, even with wot Jervaise and 'Imself did fer me. You can take the gel out of the Mutton, but you can't take the Mutton out of the gel. Not all the way. So what about you? Why're you chasin' yer doom so 'ard?"
Miriam Plenty is originally from Mutton Island, which is where she gets her charming accent. Some of the Carnival's attractions, like Rubbery Lumps, are imitations of Mutton Island's traditions.
Her genteel, rather bohemian appearance belies her profession. She was once a Seeker of Mr Eaten's Name, and never truly left that path; she now guards and guides others to a particular candle in a warped version of her Carnival, accessible only at midnight. She is not very happy with her duty, however.
Mrs Plenty has been to the Iron Republic, but only once.
She campaigned for Mayor of London in 1897, under the slogan "A moment's peace!"
