Differences between by and the current version
The Night's Watch Gallery is an art gallery owned by [[Romano di Grimani]]. Unlike regular art galleries, it is opened during the evening and nights. The gallery displays his arts and selected other works. The gallery has a staff of six, including a curator and two Watchmen who wear period clothes.

When no lecture or debate is going on, the Small Lower Gallery is closed. ---- Grand Lower Gallery ---- The Grand Lower Gallery is decorated in the style of a talentCabinet of Wonders, with paintings covering every wall from floor to ceiling. The amateur works that only barely made the cut have been hung near the ceiling and floor, as padding, whereas the works of Di Grimani, Berthe Morisot, Sir Luke Fildes and Gustave Courbet have been displayed in very prominent places, with large frames. Railings have been placed along the floors and wall, with four futuristic metal stairs (with guard rails!) placed at an incline. These can be carted around the room along the railing to look at specific paintings that are higher up. When properly positioned, they can also be used to reach a podium set at the far end of the room, which reaches about halfway up. A state-of-the-art telescope can also be used to view the art from this unique vantage point. * Paint [[Sir Berkeley]]'s Future of Light (6 Successes) * Union Visions Diptich (3 successes) * "The Workman's home" (5 successes) * "State of Nature".

Paid double the wage of the two day maids. Much resented by the entire staff but protected by Di Grimani, who calls her his little cow. (Wage: £30) * Miss [[Margery Labey]], a plain and somewhat gossipy laundry maid. She merely visits every day at 6 AM to collect the days' laundry on behalf of a local company that washes it during the day. 17 years old. Her wages are paid by the company to whom the work has been outsourced. Sir [[Christopher Hanagan]], agent, holds a key administrative role and one particularly necessary when the master of the house had to attend to business elsewhere. He sees to processing almost every aspect of management, communicating with lawyers, architects, suppliers, tenants, and other family members. (Estate Steward/Agent Wage: £200. House Steward Wage: £100) Mr. [[James Shorten]], valet, an anemic, long-faced youth, the somewhat dimwitted bastard son of a friend from Sir Hanagans Oxford days. A disappointment to his family, he was sent to Oxford but spent most of his time there composing bad poetry and indulging in the English disease with members of the rowing team. Has impeccable taste in clothing and is a master of protocol but lacks creativity. He is grateful to Hanagans for getting him a job but is convinced he is only here until he can get his poetry published. He helps dress and style his master, liaises with the other servants, and attends to the private domestic arrangements of his employer. (Wage: £50) [[Jalal Hachim]] and [[Omar Hachim]] are two of four gallery custodians/footmen that report to Ser Hanagan. Of Morrocan origin, they came to London by way of France. Di Grimani still refers to them as Turks. During the nightly opening hours, they usually guard the gallery. Other duties might include answering the door and accompanying Di Grimani when travelling on foot and by carriage. They have expensive livery uniforms in the style of the nightwatch and faux halberds. (Wage: £30). [[Jimmy Foale]], coachman, raced horses at a betting racetrack before he took a bad fall on the knee. He has a sound equestrian understanding but has not worked with coaches for very long. During the summer nights, he once saw the man in a pub when partying with the Greens, and has instructed Ser Hanagan to hire him. (Wage: £40) [[Micky]], a scrawny dark-haired Irish lad of fourteen who acts as houseboy, carrying messages and doing small chores. (Wage: £10Mighty (4 successes) * "Equal Before the Lord" Working Class Church Services (6 successes)
