Jenny returned to [[Dimension 77]] in search of [[the Lurigadawne of Tipperary]]. Materialising in the meadow where he reportedly made his home, she was seen appearing out of thin air by a [[Boy (The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere)|local boy]] who assumed her to be a [[fae|fairy]] herself. Playing alone, she asked him if she knew where the Lurigadawne was, but the boy reported that although this was indeed supposedly his meadow, the [[leprechaun]] himself hadn't been seen in ages. Granting him a “boon” of some gold pieces she'd brought for the Lurigadawne, she sent the boy on his way and spent a few hours looking for the magically-concealed entrance to the Lurigadawne's home. When she found it, she discovered to her dismay that the Lurigadawne wasn't in, having left his home in the care of a [[Scotland|Scottish]] [[Brownie (The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere)|Brownie]] after leaving on mysterious business. She thanked the Brownie with another gold coin and left. Before she headed to her next destination, she decided to compromise between obvious necessity and her stubborn refusal to settle for any other shoes than Leprechaun-made ones by putting on a pair of thick, woolen socks. | Jenny returned to [[Dimension 77]] in search of [[the Lurigadawne of Tipperary]].

She headed for [[the Home City]] in the [[Prime Universe]] and found the [[Company of Free Genies]], purchasing a wish from [[Genie (The Interlude of Jenny Everywhere)|the Genie at the desk]] with a [[magic wand]]. While in the Company's lobby, she also met a local ghost, [[the Mad Marquess]]. Jenny wished to know the Lurigadawne's location and to be transported there, and thus found herself flung to the [[Gnome Place]]. There, she was viewed by the [[Secret League of the Orange-Bearded Gnomes]] as a dangerous interloper and the Gnomes petrified her clothing around her to trap her in place. Her recognising [[the Nome King]] in the crowd based on the memories of another Jenny did not help matters, and neither did the sudden arrival of the sword-wielding Mad Marquess, teleported after her by the mischievous Genie.

Trying to escape the chaos, she shifted ''out'' of her clothes and directly to the top of the [[Round Table]] in [[Universe (Close Encounter of the Bird Kind)|another universe]]. There, [[King Arthur#Raising chickens|the King]], [[Gwenhwyfar|the Queen]] and the [[knights of the Round Table|Knights]] put a new outfit together for her in record time. Her aim of getting hold fo an egg-laying hen from the royal chicken coops of [[King Arthur#Raising chickens|King Arthur]] was made easier when she learned from Arthur that a future version of her had apparently visited a young version of [[Merlin#Raising chickens|Merlin]] to set this up, so that Merlin had kept the chicken coops “well-stocked” and quickly presented her with prize egg-layer [[Bethan]]. | |||
Returning to the Gnome Place, she distracted the Lurigadawne, who'd been dueling the Marquess, causing the Marquess to successfully stab his opponent. However, the Marquess realised almost instantly, at Jenny's reaction, that he had done the wrong thing, and helped the Lurigadawne hang on while Jenny routed the Gnomes via the threat of Bethan's mythically-potent eggs, which were enough to send even the Nome King fleeing. She then sent the Marquess back to his home universe and finally talked with the Lurigadawne, who revealed, much to her dismay, that Gnomes were forbidden to grant the same wish twice, so that he really ''couldn't'' make her a new pair of shoes. Giving up on magicla footwear, she decided to end her quest there and head to a truly random universe with no particular goal in mind, and visit an ordinary shoe shop when next she had the chance.
