Steampunk Writing Prompts

This month's steampunk writing prompts:

1. Carmen did not discover her mother was an automaton until she was almost seven.

Questions:

What happened to Carmen's real mother?
How did Carmen discover she was an automaton?
Who else, if anyone, lives with Carmen other than her mother?

2.  "Good lord," exclaimed Professor Hartwell when he finally broke down the door.  He had warned his wife not to buy Edmund that mail order Inventor's Kit, but she had obviously forgotten what happened the last time she had not listened to him.

Questions:

What did Professor Hartwell discover behind the door?
What happened the last time his wife did not listen to him?
Who might Edmund be, other than their son?

3.  Norma denied knowing where Mabel's locket had gone.  True, she had hurled it off the side of the airship's observation deck, but she did not know precisely where it had landed.

Questions:

How are Norma and Mabel related to each other, other than the obvious choices (sisters, friends or rival classmates)?
Other than jealousy, why might Norma have thrown away Mabel's locket?
