A hidden room, the Gold Room is adorned with gold candle fixtures on either side, and a gold plated wooden table in the center. Riches lay all around the room and on top of the table. Here can be found the crowns of past kings and the royalty of conquered nations.

a rat chews on a dropped hymnbook
I stick to the edge, nose up and ready for any morsels that may drop my way. Or sometimes they don't, but I often don't know until my jaws are upon it. A hunk of moldy crust, the edge of a dropped hymnbook, it is all fair game.
Hey, it's ok man. It was just lying there. Just keep your teeth of that hymnal and any of the gold in this room! Ok, I'm just hungry. I like to nibble. It's in my nature. unless I am sleeping. Cause any more trouble and I'll let that talking cat feast on you! Ha! Him? He is just a little cuddly thing. He wouldn't eat me if you smeared peanut butter all over me. He is my buddy! A rat and a cat are friends? I doubt that very seriously. Look, Rat - just stop causing problems! Ok fine. So...you got any food? No food, but if you stay out of trouble, when I'm finish my duty guarding the Gold Room, I'll let you follow me to the kitchen for some vittles. Oh goody! Your a real pal, you know that? Now what to get you I wonder? You don't need to get me anything. Just please, no more chewing! If the King sees his Gold Room in shambles, I will lose my head! That is what I will get you. I will behave. I don't even know why I'm in here. There's no food. Oh yeah! the cat. Look Rat, you'll be fine. Just stay close to me and I'll feed you when I'm done here. The cat won't mess with you.
