sing "zip"

>>The china cabinet moves to conceal the opening.  On the back
>> of the cabinet is a hook with a silver key.

take silver key

>> The silver key is for the round red door in the secret garden.

sing "zip" (The china cabinet moves to reveal the opening.)
take copper key, machine tools, sack

>> The copper key is for the padlock on the laboratory.

take fake can, screwdriver

>> Make sure that the fake can of spam is open and empty.

>> The screwdriver will be used as an expendable object, feel
>> free to substitute another item that you don't need anymore.

turn on faucet
fill glass with water

>> This can be used to call the fuzzy chamber to the living room.

turn off faucet
swing watch
say "1:44" to conductor
put watch in pocket
snap
take lemonade

>> Since the "sour" mist is already activated, this will
>> be used to make a "nested time portal".  You can also use any other
>> "tasty" object -- sweet, sour, salty, or bitter.

--- SECRET GARDEN (near the east wall) -----

e (through the "sour" mist, first trip)

>> Your main intention on this trip is to drop the kitten for Martin
>> and follow Martin into the house.  There you will have an opportunity
>> to get a swiss army knife (with a corkscrew) and arrange for it to
>> be hidden in a place where you can access it back to the current time.
>> With your second and third trip to this time period you will be able
>> to go to Rachel's room, retrieve her sketchbook, and take it to Rachel
>> in the living room.

>> This walk-through also involves significant activity related to 
>> getting a single bonus point.  This is not necessary in order to win the
>> game and is, in fact, absurdly difficult.  It involves unlocking the
>> padlock on the lab and making a new time portal.  Then, you will go
>> into the secret garden through the round red door in back, bringing
>> the brightly colored machine tools into the portal.  Lastly you need to
>> set the laboratory back the way it was in order to avoid making Martin's
>> mother suspicious.

>> Even if you don't go after the extra credit point, it's still necessary
>> to make three trips into this time period. On this first trip it's
>> a wise precaution not to drop the kitten too early.  You should either
>> occupy yourself setting items in place for the extra credit point, or
>> else you should wait several turns before dropping the kitten.  This
>> isn't absolutely necessary, but it allows your later trips to be
>> more flexible about efficiency.  You won't have to worry about getting
>> the sketchbook quickly before Martin moves the china cabinet
>> (your only chance to get into the living room).
