The hierarchy of staterooms on Æther matched the status 
of its passengers perfectly, as these parts of the ship could be decompiled and 
remade between voyages. For Lord Finkle-McGraw, his three children and their 
spouses, and Elizabeth (his first and only grandchild so far), the airship 
lowered a private escalator that carried them up into the suite at the very 
prow, with its nearly 180-degree forward view.
