Deeum posted first, so we'll first be taking a look at that lovely pool.
As with most pools, it is laden with chlorine... and Trilby, given that he is a cat burglar, is not equipped for a random swim. I suppose it is a random dream, though: to swim in a dead man's swimming pool. Truly, something of poetry, there.
Cho mentioned it offhandedly, so let's look to that pipe next.
The pipe
line may very well turn out to be an object of interest, but Trilby has the common sense to leave it alone, unlike our resident randy Brit... who also seems to believe that there is more than meets the eye with the screen shots from our last update. Let's go past the pool...
Note that there is not, in fact, anything searchable and selectable concerning this hole (or any of the other holes, for that matter). These holes are of interest, yes, but Trilby looked at the lawn in general. He did not look at a specific hole. Nice try, though!
Now, we will follow Cho's suggestion about going back and checking the unopened door, but we will first attempt Seethe's suggestions. He appears to be attempting the 'try anything with everything' approach, which tends to work quite well with most point-and-click games.
First off, he wanted to check the window by the door we came through. So, let's do that.
Interesting! The window on the other side was far too dirty... yet this window allows us to see into the Kitchen! A curious window this be...
There's nothing else about this window that's terribly important, though, so let's move on.
Next, the trees.
That description of the first tree is of definite interest. Sadly, as shown by the relevant screen shot, the two other trees do not register as notable for Trilby. On to the shed.
Let's see if that stick comes in handy with the shed?
Sorry, nothing doing, Seethe! Likely, the twig is your standard non-super twig. Thus it won't be able to break any glass windows.
Next, to use Trilby's nifty Grolly on various potential hot spots!
As you can see, the spots it did register on caused all of nothing to transpire - there's apparently quite a fall around those sides of the house. So, well, nice try. Again.
Let's follow Cho's earlier suggestion, then, and head back to that unexplored door. We head through the Kitchen and Dining Room, and end up at the Main Room once again.
We seem to have entered a Sitting Room of some sort.
I figure you folk have endured enough failure by now, so I'll turn further control over to you.
And the D
eFoe in this game
obligingly had no heir (as reported above, in the newspaper), so there's no plot device son just waiting for a random urging from beyond the grave to spend 15 minutes being a super villain. Just in case we come across such a figure, though, we'll ask for an autograph.
Also, I get the feeling that Shiny was trying to be funny. Trying to be.
