==== Appendix 19-I: The Right Wrong Questions ==== | ==== Appendix 19-I: The Right Wrong Questions ==== | ||
An old, [[wandering mendicant (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|wandering mendicant]] in dusty, tattered clothing, evidence of “a long and arduous journey”, comes to [[the Ruined Chapel|the narthex]] and impresses [[the Lady in Mourning]] with a “beautiful and haunting song of despair and decay” before kneeling and asking her if her name is “Catherine”. She answers no, he sings another song, asks her if her name is “Osceola”, and so on and so forth as he peacefully spends the last years of his life trying to find out the Lady's name, retreating each night around midnight (when she unveils so lethally) to gather food and drink from the wilds near [[the Tarn]]. Eventually, he passes away, a last “smiling” question on his lips. At midnight, the Lady, instead of her usual refrains, looks up towards the stars to sing “a song of hope and dreams”. The next morning, the Chapel has lost its aura of melancholy, and the Lady in Mourning has gone, as has the statue on the altar. | An old, [[wandering mendicant (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|wandering mendicant]] in dusty, tattered clothing, evidence of “a long and arduous journey”, comes to [[the Ruined Chapel|the narthex]] and impresses [[the Lady in Mourning]] with a “beautiful and haunting song of despair and decay” before kneeling and asking her if her name is “Catherine”.

==== 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”. | |||
