** The entire scene must be witnessed to be fully appreciated. Their body language and expressions are perfect. Even funnier that Jacob's plan ends up completely working - in fact, Sequence 8 cannot be played until at least 3 boroughs of London are conquered, which would have been impossible without the Rooks to work as the brute force in their chain of connections across London.

* Mary Anne Disraeli. Just... everything about her. You might figure that the wife of a mid-19th century politician would be one of the most stale characters in the game, but nope! She turns out to be positively charming, largely because of how she comes off as such a hilarious [[TheDitz Ditz]]. For example, she helps Jacob find out who the Templar agent in Parliament is only after he helps her slum it in Devil's Acre. Truly, only Mrs. Disraeli would come up with such a bizarre transaction of favors.

** One particularly great exchange she has with Jacob when he fends off assassins sent after UsefulNotes/BenjaminDisraeli:

\n* Once again, Shaun is responsible for writing the database. And once again, it is hilarious.
-->''Historical records document a scandal that took place in [St. Mary Matfelton] church around 1710. I know! A scandal in a church! Whatever next! Anyway, it seems like the rector of the church set up an altarpiece depicting the Last Supper, and had the figure of Judas made to look exactly like a personal enemy of his, the Dean of Peterborough. As far as passive aggression goes, I'd say that's pretty aggressive. It's also bloody brilliant.''
* But it gets better! Occasionally, Rebecca puts in her two cents.
-->'''Shaun:''' I am your humble databse scribe. A wordsmith. My name is Shaun Hastings, and I'm an Assassin, like you, though a little better. And like most of you, I wasn't born into it. I wasn't raised to join the Brotherhood. As a brash, inquisitive, and dare I say it, handsome young lad, I was obsessed with conspiracy theories and the unexplained. I started digging into the nasty bits of Abstergo Industries, of which there are legion, and attempted to play the whistleblower. Freedom of information! Huzzah! But all that got me was an appointment with a Templar death squad.\\
