A visitor to the House once wandered into [[#The Basements|the Basement]] through a small staircase that hadn't been there before. Once they reached the copper bridge at the end of the stairs, they briefly fell under the hypnotic thrall of the sea of gears, and walked off the bridge, falling to their apparent death. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)|Our Strange and Wonderful House]]'': ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)#Chapter 44: The Basement|The Basement]]'') However, they were saved by [[Robot (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|the giant robot]], who caught them in a grip that was at once hard and gentle. Smiling “indulgently”, the robot carried them back up the stairs and dropped them off at the door before disappearing, incredibly fast, back into the depths.

A [[Jenny Everywhere's friend (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|friend]] of [[Jenny Everywhere]]'s once sought shelter at the House because she'd heard about it from Jenny. She needed a place to stay because she had just been knocked out and robbed of all her possession, including the [[ruby chopstick]]s given to her by a “[[Space marauder (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|space marauder]]” during “her first visit to [[Mars]]”. Stumbling into [[#The Courtyard|the Courtyard]], she made her way to the huge doors, marvelling at the way the House itself seemed to be invisible, with only the windows and doors floating in mid-air. After failing to make a sound by knocking, she made up her mind to use the strange doorbell, which, to her surprise, produced “the sound of a child's laughter” instead of the loud chime she had expected.
