==== Chapter 20: The Stationery Room ==== | ==== Chapter 20: The Stationery Room ==== | ||
[[The Stationery Room]], accessible only to the [[Master of the House]] and those to whom he gives permission, is described. Unlike many other rooms in the House, which are “fluid in their relative locations”, the Stationery (or Station''a''ry) Room always exists at the center of “an imaginary line between [[the Master Bedroom]] and [[the Gatehouse]], always maintaining equal distance from the two”. The Room itself is “somewhat small”, with a single desk sitting in the center, facing the door. At its back is a window covered by heavy curtains, and all the walls are covered in bookshelves and, in one carner, a large cabinet. The desk contains an infinite supply of “papers, envelopes, inks, pens and waxes”. | [[The Stationery Room]], accessible only to the [[Master of the House]] and those to whom he gives permission, is described.

==== Chapter 21: Elevator ==== | |||
Until recently, [[The Strange and Wonderful House|the House]] did not have an elevator, but [[the Great Glass Elevator]] has crashed into [[the west garden]] and the sentient House interprets it as a donation, gearing up to absorb the elevator into itself by opening various doorways into empty elevator shafts. Despite the objections of the [[goblin]]s who guard [[the Stairwell]], work by the [[lawn gnome]]s to repair the Elevator and install it in the House is well underway, and the House's excitement is such that it is “buzzing with excitement and creaking with worry, lurching, stretching, and then settling” to unprecedented degrees; “there is a continuous seance on [[the 7th floor]] to keep [[spirit]]s and [[demon]]s out of closets and cupboards”. | |||
