The note reads “''My apologies, I had to borrow the vacuum to clear up the mess made by the gardener in [[the North West attic]] under [[the reverse Koi pond]] next Saturday''”. To his annoyance, it is signed “[[Frank the Janitor]]”, and Frank realises that he took a wrong temporal turn at Thursday, ending up ''after'' he himself already borrowed the vacuum and thus creating a minor paradox. Grumpily, he sets about getting out of [[the Vault]] and retracing his steps. He recalls the rhyme telling him which of the opaque windows making up the walls of the Vault serves as an exit: “''Seven laps clockwise from the north, six counter from your new location, now keep stepping left and enter the fourth''”. He implements its direction, and, closing his eyes, steps backwards into a window, hoping he has the right one. | The note reads “''My apologies, I had to borrow the vacuum to clear up the mess made by the gardener in [[the North West attic]] under [[the reverse Koi pond]] next Saturday''”.

==== Chapter 44: The Basement ==== | |||
A visitor to [[the House]] enters [[the Basement]] through a small staircase they hadn't noticed before. It is colder than the rest of the House, and they can hear the “clicking and stomping” of hundreds of machines which look like they've been here for over a millennium. Before long, they reach the end of the staircase, which connects to a “big copper bridge” which hovers over a veritable sea of gears and other metal parts. The sound is hypnotic instead of deafening, and before they can think better of it, the visitor finds themself taking one step too many and tumbling down. | |||
===== Appendix 44-I: Safety Catch ===== | |||
Before falling to their doom, however, the visitor is caught by a [[Robot (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|huge, yet friendly-looking robot]] who carries them back up the stairs. Dropping them at the door to the basement, it salutes and winks before disappearing in a blur. | |||
