There was a woman from a few neighborhoods over who was a servant to a magician and dumped boiling tea right in his lap. Got sent to the Tower, and they published her confessions before the execution. I don't think it's possible to go out really victorious, when powerful people who hate you have got a hold of you.
[ A breath. Right. Cheerful, cheerful. ]
But I'm sure it was really satisfying at the time.
