The Zoo was actually a huge, open preserve, patrolled in jeeps by the zookeepers. Despite being inside the House, it had a horizon and even a sun and clouds. Its denizens included various supernatural or “imaginary” creatures, such as [[Snark]]s, [[Boojum]]s, [[Chtonian]]s and [[Grue]]s. As such, being an avid reader of fantasy novels was a requirement for working at the Zoo.

==== The North West Attic ==== | |||
The North West Attic, which could be reached via a dusty stairway contained large amounts of miscellaneous ''bric-à-brac'' including objects covered with sheets, a mannequin with six blue numbers scrawled onto its left arm which “stood, head down, defeated”, and, above the latter, a “majestic” coat of arms for “something called [[League of Awesomeness|the League]]”. When they visited the Attic, [[Oggie]], [[Mila]] and a third searcher crossed paths with a group of blue mice, led by a larger, pink one.

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.

With Mila continuing to be reluctant, the third searcher grabbed her by the hand and actively pulled her along to search one of the dark corners.
