Quick!  Follow that elf!  Oh, we’ve lost him… didn’t he just come through here?  He really was in a rush.

He seemed a little highly strung, to me?

“Like puppet doves?” asks Isobel.

“What?”

“You know... like those two we saw the other day… they were turtle-y strung up!”

Thanks for that.  I like a good pun.  Now – where to go next?

“Oh, there’s only one door… that can’t be right… why isn’t there any choice?”

Well, I guess we might as well go through Hobson’s door, then.

“I wonder how much further we’ve got to go?”

I don’t really have any sense of how long we’ve been here, have you?

What’s that on the floor?  Is that another token?  Excellent.

How many have we got, now?  Just check quickly, will you?

Okay… let’s try this door, then… just another in an indefinite series, it seems.

We’ll never get there at this rate.  Do you guys want to phone home and tell them to delay dinner?

“Or send out a search party with a ball of string!” Isobel giggles.
