Despair

The point at which I pretty much gave up on The Shining City getting any better:-

"How was the Tower o' Mists?"

Donncan frowned.  "Strange," he answered after a while.  "It is very isolated, ye ken, hidden at the heart o' the fens as it is, and so often covered in mist."

Dude. I mean, the Scottish accents were getting on my nerves, but the Tower o' Mists just sent me over the edge.
