==== Chapter 21: Elevator ==== | ==== 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”. | 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.

===== Appendix 21-I: Very Small Assault ===== | |||
While having tea with his mother [[Hattie (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|Hattie]], a boy called [[Mika]] notices the presence of a number of animate [[lawn gnome]]s crossing their lawn, which disturbs him and Hattie all the more when Hattie reminds him that they've never owned any lawn gnomes, as [[Mika's father]] thought they were “a quaint but equally low class alternative to pink, plastic flamingos”. | |||
===== Appendix 21-II: A Very Pink Assault ===== | |||
[[Mika]] and [[Hattie (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|Hattie]], eavesdropping through their windows, hear the [[lawn gnome]]s taking a phone call, and are relieved to hear that the gnomes are leaving their garden, having been contracted to go repair an elevator somewhere. However, their liberation is short-lived as Mika notices the neighbours' plastic flamingos are starting to move. | |||
