=== Elshanor's journey === | |||
[[Elshanor|Lady Elshanor]] was the librarian of [[Hawk Manor]] in [[Universe B (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|one universe]]. After an extended absence from Hawk Manor when she found herself staying at [[the Institution]], she returned to find the Manor dusty and abandoned. Making her way to the Manor's Library, she found a portal ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)|Our Strange and Wonderful House]]'': ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)#Chapter 5: The Library|The Library]]'') into [[#the Library|the Library]] of the Strange and Wonderful House|House. There, she observed that it was as dusty as her own Library, but that the bathroom collected to the Library was, absurdly, completely clean by contrast. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)|Our Strange and Wonderful House]]'': ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)#Appendix 5-II: The Bathroom (of the Library)|The Bathroom (of the Library)]]'') An “elegant and studious woman” strolling “with melancholy” through “a tattered library” was one of the scenes from across the House glimpsed by another visitor through one of the glass panes in [[#The Conservatory|the Conservatory]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)|Our Strange and Wonderful House]]'': ''[[Our_Strange_and_Wonderful_House_(novel)#Appendix_13-II:_View_From_a_Jungle|View From a Jungle]]'') | |||
While she was debating replacing a book — ''[[Les Misérables]]'' — which had been neglectfully left in the bathroom in question, she heard a creaking noise behind her, signaling the presence of someone or something else in the Library. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)|Our Strange and Wonderful House]]'': ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)#Appendix 5-II: The Bathroom (of the Library)|The Bathroom (of the Library)]]'') She hid out in the bathroom until she received an SOS from the [[Artifector]]s in [[the Laboratory]]. She lifted up a ceiling tile and hoisted herself up to the floor above the Library and bathroom, finding herself in [[#The sideways room|the sideways room]]. There, doing her best not to anger the [[Hares In Charge of All Vegetation]] who were having a meeting, she slid down to the plain wooden door — avoiding the rabbit hole — and ended up in the hallway, where she met the [[Housekeeping]] party who were trying to forcibly clean the Lab. She convinced them to leave the Artifectors alone for now and clean the Library instead. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)#Appendix 27-III: Heebie Jeebies|Heebie Jeebies]]'') | |||
Making her way through multiple portals, Elshanor eventually ended up in [[#The Throne Room|the Throne Room]], where she was drawn to one of the fifty thrones, a silver-set throne padded with royal-blue velvet. When she sat down, a disembodied voice called on her to act as judge on a criminal of the House, a [[Man (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|man]] accused of stealing from the [[Fountain of Youth]]. After looking into his eyes, she judged him guilty, pressing the red button on her arm-rest instead of the white. This caused a trapdoor to open under the man, casting him into [[Pandemonium]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)|Our Strange and Wonderful House]]'': ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)#Chapter 16: The Throne Room|The Throne Room]]'') | |||
Back in Hawk Manor, one of Elshanor's associates, [[Alastair (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|Alastair]], also returning to the House and who was bemoaning her apparent absence, witnessed a version of Elshanor stepping out of the same portal and back into Hawk Manor. However, after his initial surprise, he realised that this Elshanor was not quite the Elshanor he knew.

The Elevator's appearance caused alterations to several halls. As a result, the door to [[#The Airing Cupboard|the Airing Cupboard]], which had been sealed for a hundred years, was rediscovered. The first man to notice the strange door was a visitor, who enter the Cupboard only to be confronted with [[Figure in the Airing Cupboard|a ghostly figure in a “peculiar” Victorian nightdress]] who referred to him as “darling”, told him off for having been “so long”, and pulled him into a deadly embrace.
