Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel): Difference between revisions

In the old timeline, the all-female [[Housekeeping]] crew take the [[Artifector]]s by surprise. Flinging the door open, they burst in, armed with cleaning implements, and the [[Head of Housekeeping]] confronts lead artifector [[Gravitcher]], reminding him that she and her department are “tasked by the [[Master of the House|Masters]] of this abode with cleaning each and every room at least once a year”. The cleaners begin to spread out through the room, cleaning and, to the artifectors' horror, ''moving'' various objects. [[Splamblodgett]] coaxes [[Lally|one “buxom young woman”]] into cleaning the interior of [[The Alarum|a cabinet]], however, and, after closing it with her inside, sets certain dials to “Five minutes ago” before activating it with the pressing of a button.
