a parlour amusement for the pocket
A loose ball chain, sealed under glass, riveted to an unfinished portrait. Shake your phone. The chain tumbles, catches, and gives the sitter a new nose. It is never the same nose.

The Duchess, freshly shaken. Her nose was christened “The Scandalous Whisper.”
being a full account of the entertainments within
Real physics on the accelerometer. Flick your wrist and the chain rains around the dish, catches on nothing, and comes to rest as a nose. There is also a button, for the dignified.
Roll the phone and the chain slides like beads on glass. Coax a droopy nose upward, or pour the whole thing toward the chin and see what the sitter thinks of that.
Every settle is measured and christened. The Noble Button. The Melancholy Roman. The Scandalous Leviathan, if fortune favours you. Collect them all.
Each morning a dotted nose appears on the dial. Shake and tilt until your chain lines up, then take your likeness score to the Game Center leaderboards, daily and all-time.
The Duchess, a lady of consequence. The Hound, a dog of impeccable breeding. The Urchin, a scamp in a checkered cap. All of them patient. None of them have noses.
When the chain lands somewhere magnificent, capture the likeness, keep it in your gallery, and share it with someone who will understand.
