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 | 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 to appear as an opera stage and everything in-between the two. The conversation ends as “Le Fox” begins her song in earnest. | ||
==== Chapter 42: Zen Garden ==== | |||
At 3 a.m., a resident of [[the House]] lies awake in bed, thoughts swirling through his head. Slipping on a robe, he gets up and wanders aimlessly through the corridors until he finds himself at an “unfamiliar sliding door”. He comes in and finds a room where several rakes of differing sizes lean against the wall. Grabbing one, he enters and find a [[The Zen Garden|room]] lit with a soft light which evokes moonlight, and housing two large sandboxes. The first sandbox has recently been raked; the other bears a brass plaque reading ''strength'' on one side, and another reading ''This space left intentionally blank'' on the other. Within, tiny bridges connect pools of moss, and in the centre there stands a small bonsai tree, “brethren of [[Walter (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|Walter]] from the look of it”. Quietly, the night-wanderer begins to rake. | |||
