I know why you are saying that, in that it seems sketchy after the
density of the earlier episodes, but on rereading it I found it
beautifully understated.

Not really decent but ambitious and OK Paul De Filippo _Steampunk Trilogy_
Kind of tangentially steampunk with strong writing -- Ian McLeod _The
Light Ages_, Keith Roberts _Pavane_, John Crowley _Great Work of Time_,
Michael Moorcock's Oswald Bastable series.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
