The New Street Line
"There is no line, only the idea of one. We have conductors operating throughout the Empire, reporting to me. I'll point you to one of them and they'll tell you where you need to go. Assuming, of course, you're ready to be responsible for another's freedom."
In 1906, the Philanthropist became a co-owner of the Steam & Sapphire Company, an engine yard in New London. Secretly, however, she runs a secret underground railroad called the New Street Line. The "railroad" smuggles prisoners from several Workworlds, such as the Brabazon Workworld. Her cousin and co-conspirator is the "conductor" of this line.
She still likes sherry.
