I have one question and one important announcement.

The question:

Do you pull the lever?

As for the announcement, the hospital now has a wing to treat magical maladies. Witch doctors and the like are welcome to come check it out. People with magical maladies also welcome to come get treated, I don't know how any of this shit works.

I refuse the premise. Trolleys are abominations- faceless, horseless contraptions rattling along without dignity. Hand me the lever and I’d sooner derail the whole miserable thing than dignify the exercise.

But, if we must: five effigies are not lives. One egotist who survives and leaves us a faster machine is, at last, mathematics serving justice. Pull the lever and be done with it.

As for your new hospital wing- commendable. Only be sure the wards are well-ventilated before the hedge-witches begin boiling their cures. Otherwise, you’ll be treating smoke inhalation before hexes.

Do you object to all horseless means of transport or just trolleys?

I don't think we have any hedge-witches, but I'll keep it in mind if I see any cauldrons. Thank you for your contribution.

Not all. An airship at least makes a performance of majesty, and a carriage with horses knows its purpose. But a trolley? It dares to rattle along without either, a box on wheels dragged by nothing. That is what I object to.

I have follow-up questions regarding this carriage hatred. Would you still hate them if you understood the mechanics behind them?
