Emilico and company have an unhappy encounter with a Star Bearer that leads to late-night watch duty. Kate frets over the approaching debut. Sides are taken, friendships are forged, and one of Shadow House's mysteries is solved.
The hinge rusted and broke,
causing the trapdoor to crack open.
Weil das verrostete Scharnier abgebrochen ist,
schließt die Tür nicht mehr richtig.
La bisagra se oxidó y se rompió,
por lo que la trampilla se abrió.
La bisagra se ha oxidado,
se ha roto y ha abierto la trampilla.
Une charnière rouillée s’est brisée
et a entrouvert la trappe,
Il cardine è arrugginito e si è rotto,
facendo aprire la botola.
A dobradiça enferrujou e quebrou,
fazendo com que o alçapão se abrisse.
