Surface-Silk Scraps and Romantic Notions can easily be obtained in Polythreme from the One Might Profit... storylet. In fact, it's probably more efficient to grind them in Polythreme than in London, so stocking up beforehand is arguably counter-productive.

Paying your way might get you both Fascinating and Investigating, but that depends on a luck check. The actions are sorted into the table based on what guaranteed payout you get. So giving surface-silk to a Clay Man, for instance, could give you both, but it will always give you Fascinating at the very least.
