The Beach was a beautiful beach of soft black sand, with a clear blue sea which almost seemed to glow. The water of the sea was warm enough to swim in, and, more bizarrely, was breathable, so that one might spend hours underwater without needing to resurface. A relatively well-documented portal connected [[#The backyard|the backyard]] to the Beach; less well-known, until it was discovered by accident by [[the Guardian of the Ink Wells]] and [[Treefrog]], was the portal from the surface of the water in one particular spot to [[#The Library|the Library]].

==== The Seven Hundred Nineteenth Airing Cupboard ==== | |||
The seven-hundred and nineteenth airing cupboard to be inspected by a member of [[Household Staff|Staff]] who had spent their career inspecting all the cupboards in [[the House]], this one was fairly innocuous, containing nothing but a damp mop and an off-white water-heater whose enameling displayed faint traces of rust. The oddity was that this water heater, a mere “forty-gallon job, quite possibly the cheapest one on the market” was the only water the aforementioned inspector had seen in all their travels over the House by the time they reached this particular Cupboard.
