You lift the latch and gently push the door but it does not move. At first you think that it must be locked from the inside, but then you notice that it fits poorly in its rough-hewn timber frame, and realize that it is simply sticking. A sharp kick soon cures it.

Inside you discover a large bed, constructed of pine and covered with a counterpane of rabbit fur. An assortment of male and female clothing hangs from a rail at the foot of the bed, and a handful of faded family photographs stand on a table beside it. You search a cupboard behind the door and discover a Solar Torch and a Screwdriver.

If you wish to investigate the door on the opposite side of the corridor, turn to 59.

If you decide to examine the door at the end of the corridor, turn to 196.
