  The hall continues South. To the East is the one-way passage back to the pit.
  A deep gap looms ahead to the South.
  
  > examine the gap
  It is only a few yards wide, but just too far to jump. The sides, as far down as you can see are sheer and offer no hand holds at all.
  
  > Go east
  You arrive at a small cranny (or is it a nook? I never know) at the West side of the pit. You see, "Our Secret Place" inscribed above a small lens. Looking into it, you see nothing and decide it must be some sort of electric eye.
  
  > read secret
  You READ the secret that you've been so carefully keeping under your hat. There is an almost imperceptible darkening of the small lens in the center of the wall, and with a soft whoosh, a panel swings open allowing you to pass.

  > check your inventory
  You're carrying:
  dim bulb (Providing light)
  long hotdog
  stage makeup
  sharp knife
  old lamp (Providing light)
  oaken bucket
  scuba suit
  fortune cookie
  paper fortune
  sturdy plank
  valve trumpet

  solitaire ring
  
  > 4
  As your fingers touch the organ stop labelled "4", you hear a scraping sound behind you. Twisting around on the organ bench you see that a small panel has opened in the wall behind you and is already starting to re-close. Hastily you turn to vault over the bench but only succeed in falling in a heap, jamming your head between the wall and the almost-closed panel. This, however, stops its forward motion allowing you to pry it back enough to free your bruised scalp and crawl unceremoniously through before it once more hisses shut.

  > trade the Cookie to the packrat
  The packrat carefully inspects the COOKIE that you offer, then somehow stuffs it into a tiny crack in the wall. He darts toward the wall himself, pausing only long enough to throw a small object back to you, then vanishes.

  A pointed blue hat sits there
  
  > take the hat

  You pick up the pointed hat.

  You put on the hat.

  [Now in BRIEF mode: Room descriptions will only be printed when rooms are entered for the first time.]
  
  > Go south
  You can't go that way.

  > put secret under the hat
  You lay the secret on your cute little bald spot, then cover it with the hat.

  The hall continues South. To the East is the one-way passage back to the pit.
  A deep gap looms ahead to the South.
  
  > put Plank on the gap
  You inch up to the edge of the gap. A quick check shows that your pulse is holding steady at its usual 72 beats per minute, so you use this to time the echo from a fluttering yodel. Multiplying by the speed of sound in basement hallways, you easily determine that the gap is only 11.432 feet across and can be spanned by using the 12 foot plank. You confidently plant one end of the plank in the dirt near your feet and let it fall until the other end hits and wedges into the far side, then proceed South. You're so clever!
  
  You are balancing precariously on the plank over the deep gap. Under your weight, the ends slip and settle into the ground, wedging them tighter.
  
  > go south
  You have come to a dead end. North is the plank over the gap, but there are only blank walls in the other directions.
  A stream comes from a gouge in the floor then flows under the West wall.
  
  > examine the stream
  The water churns and boils as it rushes along. You cannot tell how deep it is or where it goes after disappearing under the wall.
  
  > wear the suit
  You put on the suit.
  
  > Go west
  When are you going to learn? This is a THEATER. Things you find in
  a COSTUME LOFT are only COSTUMES! The paper mache' scuba tanks dissolve away, leaving you to play fishy for about two minutes before the game mercifully ends.

  > wear the bucket
  You put on the bucket.
  
  > Go west
  You hear the sound of your breathing echoing inside the bucket as you grope toward where you remember the stream edge to be. You misjudge by only 8 inches, but it is enough to send you headlong into the icy water. With quick reflexes, you keep the pail on your head until you can pull yourself back to dry ground. You find that you did get through to the next section of the hall.
  
  The hall continues South, but the rest of the walls are blank.
  A stream appears from under the East wall then drains down a
  grating.
  
  > look at the stream
  The water churns and boils as it rushes along. You cannot tell how deep it is or where it comes from before appearing from under the wall.
  
  > take the bucket
  You pick up the oaken bucket.
