I do have an idea related to the monocle, but it's a stretch. I first got into looking up the origin of the phrase "rose-tinted glasses", which led me to the art of tinted eyeglasses. The first written account was by Samuel Pepys, who owned a set he brought from a maker. The theory was that different colours caused different moods, with red/pink being optimistic and passionate. My idea was that the original set of tinted glasses were salvaged from a stained glass church window that had the power to transfer emotion. and so from this original set of glass several pieces were crafted. Different colours and emotive effecs. There's more to the idea so far. But that's the gist.
