==== Chapter 29: The Zoo ==== | ==== Chapter 29: The Zoo ==== | ||
A [[Young zookeeper (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|newly-recruited zookeeper]] for [[the Zoo]] of [[the Strange and Wonderful House]] meets up with an [[old zookeeper (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|old zookeeper]] for her first shift. She is surprised to find that the “Zoo” has no walled-off areas or bars, and is instead one huge, expansive landscape, complete with a rising sun over the horizon and rosy clouds in the sky. The old zookeeper explains that it's “more of a preserve” and walks her over to a jeep, where she is surprised to find a stack of fantasy novels on the backseat, which the old zookeeper claims are “homework for the rest of [her] life”. When the young zookeeper voices her confusion, he asks her how else she expects to learn “the difference between a [[Boojum]] and a [[Snark]]”, “where to tickle a [[Cthonian]]”, or “what to do to keep [[Grue]]s away”. Before she can reply, he prompts her to get in already, as it's feeding time and they have “a long journey” ahead of them. | A [[Young zookeeper (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|newly-recruited zookeeper]] for [[the Zoo]] of [[the Strange and Wonderful House]] meets up with an [[old zookeeper (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|old zookeeper]] for her first shift.

==== Chapter 30: The Great South Gate ==== | |||
In the world directly outside [[the Strange and Wonderful house]], it is [[Harvest Day]], meaning that a procession from the outlying rural towns brings the House provisions for the winter with great pomp and circumstance. This year, the House has also “asked for children between the ages of 6 and 12 to be surrendered for service in the [[Household Staff]]”. Accompanying [[Rondel's father|his father]], the current [[Master of the Fields]], twelve-year-old boy [[Rondel]] passes with him through the ebony doors of [[the Great South Gates]], little knowing that he will himself be selected for this office. | |||
