Laughing, the woman introduces herself as [[Carmen Sandiego|Carmen]], an “international and temporal thief”, and holds out a hand for the visitor to shake. The visitor finds her joy catching, though he doesn't believe her claim of being a thief, thinking she looks more like “a secretary late to work”. Stroking the wall again, Carmen coaxes the Cheshire into playing nice and prompts the visitor to try to hit his button again, but before he can do so, the doors slide open again to admit a third passenger: a “[[Kid (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|nervous youth]]” carrying a bag filled with a leafy substance. Twitching, he accidentally drops it to the floor. Going to her knees, a frantic Carmen immediately identifies it as catnip and warns the visitor that they are now in “a world of trouble”. | Laughing, the woman introduces herself as [[Carmen Sandiego|Carmen]], an “international and temporal thief”, and holds out a hand for the visitor to shake.

==== Chapter 41: The ‘Rock Room’ ==== | |||
A point-of-view character watches a smartly-dressed woman he mentally nicknamed [[Le Fox]] prepare to perform on stage with an acoustic guitar. A woman sitting next to him, whose intense blue eyes capture his attention, muses that she could swear the room was completely different last night. The point-of-view character concurs that [[the Rock Room]], much like the rest of the house, is “mercurial”, adapting to the needs of the people in it; instead of the current small, domed room, it has also been known toa ppear as an opera stage and everything in-between the two. The conversation ends as “Le Fox” begins her song in earnest. | |||
