==== Chapter 45: The Cathedral ==== | ==== Chapter 45: The Cathedral ==== | ||
A weary writer visits [[the Cathedral]], which is dusty and abandoned, as “the stigma is too great”. Looking down at the floor, they can see the ancient, foreboding inscriptions: “''Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,/Your old men shall dream dreams,/Your young men shall see visions.''”. The writer steps forward towards the altar, “bathed in the stained-glass glow”, where dozens of writing implements have been laid. This symbolises a solemn vow to forsake writing forever, which no one has ever broken or indeed regretted. Hesitantly, the writer steps forward, clutching their fountain pen. | A weary writer visits [[the Cathedral]], which is dusty and abandoned, as “the stigma is too great”.

==== Chapter 46: The Maids ==== | |||
An [[Jenny Everywhere#As a Maid|incarnation]] of [[Jenny Everywhere]] is interviewed by a [[Maid (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|senior]] [[Maid]], having applied to become one herself. The old Maid warns that her reputation precedes her, albeit in other incarnations than the present one, but grants that her “unique nature” may be an asset to [[the House]] as much as a burden. Jenny prompts her to simply ask the House Herself “what ''She'' thinks”, with the Maid replying that that will come “in due course”. First, however, the older Maid once again goes over the duties of a Maid and what joining [[Household Staff]] ''means'', including the fact that she can never leave the House again. Jenny reassures her that she has thought long and hard about the pros and cons, and is confident in her decision. Satisfied, the older Maid formally declares: “if you survive [[the Test]], you shall become a Maid. You will watch the House while [[Master of the House|the Master]] is away”. | |||
