Walkthrough[]
Return back home and head up the stairs, a scene will play of Sally knocking out a Joy Doctor who was nearly close of finding out about Gwen.
If the player hadn't acquired the Baby Feeder and Baby Transport from Lionel Castershire earlier in the Act, now is the time to buy them, as they are both required to have in order to complete the quest. The Baby Feeder needs to be installed before using the Carrycot.
With both items on hand, the player needs to wait until it's night (9 pm - 6:59 am) as they can only carry Gwen to Robert's boat house during that time.
When the time has come, the player can walk all across town, from Sally's home to Byng's boat house, without being killed by the bobbies, plague wastrels/soldiers, or headboys on the way. Or, they can travel directly to Ravensholm via the bunker's hatch, it's also highly recommended to sleep the night away and continue to the boat house during the day, so they won't be bothered by the plagued soldiers.
Once in the boat house, the player has to get Gwen in the boat, install the motor, and lower the boat into the water. After this, all the player has to do is interact with the boat and they're out of Wellington Wells, ending not only the quest, but also the Act.

The Doctor's Visit[]
Sally: Lovely day for it!
Doctor: Lovely day for it!
Doctor: The neighbors think you've got a Downer in your house.
Sally: Not me! If I were any happier, I couldn't walk in these heels! Hah hah. That's a joke.
Doctor: They heard someone crying.
Sally: --Love to chat, but I'm expecting Sir Robert any moment.
Doctor: Then you shouldn't have provoked Dr. V like that. After he tried so hard to put you out of his mind.
Sally: Look, you tell Anton that the General is going to be fucking pissed off if--
Doctor: I don't think he much cares any more what mood Sir Robert is in.
Doctor: Personally, I'd like to see your customer list.

Doctor: Odd. Something I've not smelled since...
Doctor: That's a baby!
Sally: Yes, isn't she adorable?

Sally: Fuckety fuck in a buckety bucket.
