gpt
It is late afternoon, and the previously busy market place now has only a few stragglers trying to find last-minute bargains.
Your stall is now devoid of all the home-grown delights that were piled on the table, and you are preparing to pack things away and return to your house.
It seems that Giles, next stall along, (for whom you have a secret fondness,) has also had a good day. He stands, with the last remaining apple tree sapling that he has left for sale.
You look shyly towards him, but all his attention is taken up gazing at Grace, the beautiful daughter of the local squire who approaches Giles' stall.

Hardly sparing a glance at the tree she throws some money at Giles' feet and instructs him to deliver it immediately to the Hall.
She sweeps away with a wiggle and a show of shapely leg below her
silk gown, and Giles trots along obediently behind her like a faithful dog.

A fable owing much to Theodore Sturgeon, Thomas Hardy, and the film A Kid For Two Farthings.

Type "examine me" to discover who you are.
Type "about" to find out more about the game.

The market place has stalls arranged around its perimeter.
The north side of the square is bordered by the entrance gate and boundary wall of the Hall, the squire's residence.
Your house is along the road to the east, and the dismal bogland trail leads to the west.
The southern road leads off to the big town many miles away which is far too distant to walk to.

It's the end of the day and there is little left to buy, and few people still browsing.
human
You examine yourself
gpt
You are a hard-working girl, with mousey hair, a weathered face and labour-toughened hands. As someone once said of you - Marty's beauty is well-concealed.
Like most of the villagers, your clothes are home made from coarse fabric. It may not be too comfortable, but it's what you are accustomed to. And there's no point in wishing to dress like those rich folks at the Hall - those silks and satins wouldn't last five minutes  on the farm.
human
You look at the stall
gpt
Wooden boards, resting on trestles, providing a trading area for the market.
human
You look at the gate
gpt
Two wrought iron entrance gates, locked with an iron bar, and surmounted by iron spikes are set in a six foot high brick wall topped with broken glass which makes an impregnable barrier to the casual visitor.
You can see the driveway curving off toward the house to the east.
human
You go to the east
gpt
The pretty grassy track is bordered by thick hedges with many wild flowers growing in the verges.
It is only a couple of hundred yards long, connecting your cottage, hidden behind high hedges at the east end, to the market square westwards.
human
You get the flowers
gpt
They look much better in their natural setting, and will last far longer than in a vase.
human
Smell flowers
gpt
Aah! Delightful. One of life's simple pleasures.
human
You go east
gpt
The end of the lane to your cottage, which is immediately to the east. Another cottage, Orchard Cot, owned by Giles, is up a short track to the south. The market square may be reached down the lane westwards.
human
You examine the cottage
gpt
The thatched roof is supported by thick walls made in the traditional manner from cob - straw and mud.
human
Go east
gpt
Your humble home. There is only this one room on the ground floor and a bedroom above to which stairs lead up.
The front door is to the west and the garden door to the east.
The only furnishings are extremely basic.

Entering through the unlocked door, you see the familiar old furniture. It's not much, but it's your home.
You're tired after your day at the market, but the animals need feeding. You can hear the chickens clucking impatiently out back.

You can see a table (on which is a book), a cooker and a chair here.
human
Examine book
gpt
It's about a young girl, a unicorn, and a magic pool. You've learned that unicorns will only appear to the pure.
There is a picture of a unicorn on the front cover - a magnificent beast with a gold mane and golden horn, silver hooves and a snow white body.

Where did the book come from? Probably given away by the people at the Hall when they'd finished with it.
human
Examine cooker

wood-burning stove, your only source of heat and means of cooking.

human
You go east
gpt
The typically untidy yard of a rural dwelling is full of  chickens scratching at the ground.
Your cottage is to the west and a small shed is to the south.
The goat's paddock has an entrance to the northwest.
You can see a billy goat, some chickens and a rooster here.
human
You examine the goat
gpt
Why you bought a billy no-one can explain, but you love the brute, and he seems to like you too, especially at feeding time. He has a pair of stubby horns which should not do you too much damage... unless he meant to.
human
You examine chickens
gpt
A motley collection of hens, mostly derbyshire redcaps, with one proud rooster  who thinks he is in charge.
human
You look at the rooster
gpt
Bad-tempered brute who'll peck at you any time he gets the chance, but he does his duty as far as the hens are concerned.
human
Go south
gpt
A small shed containing tubs of animal feed... ...which you immediately distribute to your waiting audience outside.

You can see some tubs of animal feed and a lead rein here.
human
You look at the tubs
gpt
You make sure your stock is well fed, storing the foodstuff in these metal bins. They are nearly full right now, so don't rick your back trying to shift them.
human
You examine rein
gpt
It's like a long dog lead with collar attached, just the right size for Billy's neck. Lucky it's turned up now, that's been missing for months.

human
You put the rein on the goat
gpt
The salient characteristic of goats is their stubbornness, and Billy wants nothing to do with this game. The only place you can go with him is the paddock, so it's hardly worth trying, is it?
human
You go northwest
gpt
A grassy area for the goat to forage, though he's always in the back yard at feeding time.
It stretches northwest to the boundary of the grounds of the Hall, the side wall of which abuts it.
The open gateway to your yard is at the east side.
human
You go to the northwest
gpt
The northwest corner of your paddock. The Hall is just the other side of the wall. A first floor balcony is visible above you, but nothing can be seen above the parapet except the top of a double paned window set back into the house.
human
You look at the window
gpt
Panes of glass to let in daylight. Not the product of the Microsoft corporation.
human
You look at the balcony
gpt
It's what's known as a belvedere - the balcony doesn't project but is flush with the wall. It only has brickwork eighteen inches high at the base, so it'd be easy enough to fall out.
human
You examine the wall
gpt
The six foot high wall with broken glass stuck to the top surface surrounds the entire property.
human
Go west
gpt
Your humble home. There is only this one room on the ground floor and a bedroom above to which stairs lead up.

The typically untidy yard of a rural dwelling is full of  chickens scratching at the ground.
Your cottage is to the west and a small shed is to the south.
The goat's paddock has an entrance to the northwest. ... but Billy's not here!
You'd better try to find the brute.
I'd guess if he's not in the paddock, he may have nipped across the lane to Giles' place.

You can see some chickens and a rooster here.

A grassy area for the goat to forage, though he's always in the back yard at feeding time.
It stretches northwest to the boundary of the grounds of the Hall, the side wall of which abuts it.
The open gateway to your yard is at the east side.

You can see a gap in the hedge bordering Bluebell Lane where the goat made his getaway - unfortunately you'd cut yourself to ribbons on the hawthorn if you tried going that way.

human
Go south
gpt
The furnishings are as basic as your own cottage.
You search the place, calling for Giles, but there is no reply. Where on earth can he be?
human
You go west
gpt
The pretty grassy track is bordered by thick hedges with many wild flowers growing in the verges.
It is only a couple of hundred yards long, connecting your cottage, hidden behind high hedges at the east end, to the market square westwards.
There is damage to the northern hedge where something has forced its way through, and cloven hoof prints lead west.
human
You look at the hedge
gpt
Spiky hawthorn, interspersed with brambles.
human
You go to the north
gpt
You can go only east or west.
human
You look at the prints

The woodcraft you've learned from a very early age allows you to identify them  as fairly freshly made goat tracks.
human
Go west
gpt
The market place has stalls arranged around its perimeter.
The north side of the square is bordered by the entrance gate and boundary wall of the Hall, the squire's residence.
Your house is along the road to the east, and the dismal bogland trail leads to the west.
The southern road leads off to the big town many miles away which is far too distant to walk to.

The square's now almost deserted, the day after the market, and early in the morning as it is. Only old Ned and Jake are here now, leaning on the wall and discussing life, the universe and current livestock prices. You see Jake chuckling and nudging Ned as he gestures toward the Hall. Giles name is mentioned, and Jake gives you a quizzical look.
You can see Old Ned and Jake here.
human
You ask old Ned about billy goat
gpt
Oh aar! He went off into yonder bog. I reckon he's a goner - nothing comes back once they bin scrandled in them swamps.
human
You ask Jake about Giles
gpt
Reckon the lucky beggar's been at it all night with racy Gracie.
human
Go west
gpt
The flowery lane soon degenerates into  a dank track through  a series of foul-smelling bogs as you move westward. But it's always been this way, and the solitude can sometimes be a comfort.
You can continue westwards deeper into the swamp, or return to the village eastwards. There are cloven hoof prints leading west.
human
You go to the west
gpt
The bogs encroach on this spot from all directions except for the narrow track eastwards. Strange you've never noticed this delightful spot before now. Yes! You've found that beast. Now all you have to do is get him home.
You can see a billy goat and a clear pool here.
human
You look at the pool
gpt
Amid all the brackish muddy swamps this pool is perfectly clear.

The gate is firmly locked, and even were you that athletic, you'd cut yourself to ribbons on those sharp shards on top of the wall.

gpt
I reckon, if you could hoopla one of those spikes on the top, you might be able to haul yourself over. I'll help you if you don't mind me looking up your skirt at the same time.

You remember from a visit once as a child, when your mother worked in the hall, that the ground floor is mainly the servants quarters and kitchen etc, and that the servants kept themselves strictly apart from their masters. And out of sight as much as possible, so wandering around this level should be fairly safe, but not likely to be very productive... but one never can tell...
And what's that door to the south? Ah, you obviously weren't allowed in there as a kid.

A corridor leading to the kitchen is to the east. An ornate staircase winds upwards, blocking off northward access from this point, and a fancy doorway is to the south. The whole place is very gloomy with oak-panelled walls and a few portraits of singularly unattractive ancestors of the present incumbents.
You may exit the building westwards.

All the equipment you'd expect to find in a large kitchen. Everything is neatly put away, and the only utensils in plain view is a rack of kitchen knives.

gpt
Solid wooden staircase in the grand style, wide enough to drive a coach and horses down. The newel posts are surmounted by the heads of lions, which would bring a painful conclusion to any attempt at sliding down the banisters.
human
Go upwards
gpt
A dim area, only lit by a skylight high above,  which even your trusty lead rein would not allow you to reach. There are doorways northeast, northwest, southeast and southwest. A corridor leading south seems disused and is blocked by  a wooden partition.
human
You examine the partition
gpt
A collection of ancient heavy furniture, presumably unwanted but with nowhere else to store it. It is impassable and any disturbance of it would surely create quite a din.
human

gpt
A dirty glass panel in the roof, providing a minimal amount of illumination to filter down to this  enclosed point.

You quietly open the door revealing Grace's bedroom.
Corny as it may seem, she really does have a big four-poster bed which dominates the room to the exclusion of everything else.
Grace is asleep on the silken coverlet now, a riding crop held in one hand, and a double barrelled shotgun lying alongside her.

You  thread the handle of the door through the frame of the stand. By extreme good fortune you can wedge the music stand across the door frame to prevent it opening. It's not a very strong "locking bar" but it ought to give you a bit of time.
human
You take the rein
gpt
You already have that.

In front of a heavy wooden door  with brass handle - a curved lever rather than a knob. The door opens into a room to the northwest.

On the closed door is a music stand.
human
You go to the southeast

There's surprisingly little here in the way of furniture. The east wall has french windows leading to a small balcony or belvedere. The naked form of Giles is strapped to the bed. He has red welts on his back, and signs of bruising. He is attached by leather thongs  at hand and foot to the bed.
As he hears the door open, Giles groans and you can see him flinch, but when he realises it's you he relaxes.
"Oh Marty, thank heaven. Please help me..."

You can see a narrow bed (on which is Giles) and some clothing belonging to Giles here.
human
You examine Giles
gpt
A local smallholder as hard-working as yourself. You have long harboured a secret love for the man, who is as weather-beaten and down-to-earth as yourself.
human
Kiss giles
gpt
Ooh that was wonderful.
human
You cut the thong
gpt
You make short work of releasing the bonds, and Giles staggers to his feet smiling through his pain. Then realising his situation, blushes and dons his clothing.
He declares he'll never let you out of his sight again.

human
You examine the bed
gpt
Old fashioned iron single bed with iron rings fitted around the periphery through which thongs of leather are threaded. Maybe the family once boasted its own idiot and had to keep him sedated in this primitive manner. The headboard supports rise a few inches above this board. These bedposts are  capped by moulded  monkey heads.
human
Go northwest
gpt
A dim area, only lit by a skylight high above,  which even your trusty lead rein would not allow you to reach. There are doorways northeast, northwest, southeast and southwest. A corridor leading south seems disused and is blocked by  a wooden partition.

You can see Giles here.
human
Go southwest
gpt
This is obviously the sleeping area for the master and mistress of the Hall, now somewhere abroad. The double bed is flanked by two bedside cabinets, and on one wall is an enlarged photograph of the Melbury family. The exit is northeast.

You can see Giles and a bedside cabinet (on which is Melbury's tome) here.
human
You read tome
gpt
The Collected Works of the Marquis de Sade.
human
You ask Giles about Grace
gpt
Yeah, I'm a fool. Should have known when she came on so strong... gave me a drink... must have had laudanum or something in it. Next thing I know I'm flat on that bed and she's beatin' the daylights out of me with that riding crop of hers.
human
You ask Giles about Melbury
gpt
Grace comes storming out of her room and blasts you with the shotgun. In a later interview she claimed that she was only defending herself against a couple of burglars, one of whom had been carrying a lethal knife.
human
You go to the east
gpt
A sort of recessed balcony accessed through french windows from the blue room. It overlooks  the northwest end of Bluebell Cottage's paddock; and indeed is practically on the boundary line, the notorious glass-topped wall being visible directly below if you look over the eighteen inch high parapet.

You can see Giles here.

Jump from here? You'd break your neck, or cut yourself to ribbons.

You can go only west.

Tie lead to bed
gpt
Please give one of the answers above.
human
You put the lead on the bed
gpt
You put the lead rein on the narrow bed.
It's tricky, but you sling the rein over the parapet and scramble down on the far side of the wall. Giles follows. It's a good job you both wore those heavy work boots to protect your feet from that glass on the top of the wall.

The northwest corner of your paddock. The Hall is just the other side of the wall. A first floor balcony is visible above you, but nothing can be seen above the parapet except the top of a double paned window set back into the house.
As you make a run for it across the field, Grace appears on the balcony and lets off both barrels of her shotgun. Luckily she is not a good shot. In frustration she hurls the lead rein after you, which you retrieve before she can reload.
human
You go southeast

A grassy area for the goat to forage, though he's always in the back yard at feeding time.
It stretches northwest to the boundary of the grounds of the Hall, the side wall of which abuts it.
The open gateway to your yard is at the east side.

You can see Giles here.
human
Go east
gpt
The typically untidy yard of a rural dwelling is full of  chickens scratching at the ground.
Your cottage is to the west and a small shed is to the south.
The goat's paddock has an entrance to the northwest.
You can see Giles, some chickens and a rooster here.
human
You go to the west
gpt
Your humble home. There is only this one room on the ground floor and a bedroom above to which stairs lead up.
The front door is to the west and the garden door to the east.
The only furnishings are extremely basic.

You can see Giles, a table and a cooker here.
human
Go west
gpt
The end of the lane to your cottage, which is immediately to the east. Another cottage, Orchard Cot, owned by Giles, is up a short track to the south. The market square may be reached down the lane westwards.

You can see Giles here.
human
Go west
gpt
The pretty grassy track is bordered by thick hedges with many wild flowers growing in the verges.
It is only a couple of hundred yards long, connecting your cottage, hidden behind high hedges at the east end, to the market square westwards.
There is damage to the northern hedge where something has forced its way through, and cloven hoof prints lead west.

You can see Giles here.
human
You go west
gpt
The market place has stalls arranged around its perimeter.
The north side of the square is bordered by the entrance gate and boundary wall of the Hall, the squire's residence.
Your house is along the road to the east, and the dismal bogland trail leads to the west.
The southern road leads off to the big town many miles away which is far too distant to walk to.
There's no-one here at all now. Ned and Jake have gone about their business and most of the town has yet to venture abroad.

You can see Giles here.
human
You go west
gpt
The flowery lane soon degenerates into  a dank track through  a series of foul-smelling bogs as you move westward. But it's always been this way, and the solitude can sometimes be a comfort.
You can continue westwards deeper into the swamp, or return to the village eastwards.
You can see Giles here.
human
Go west
gpt
The bogs encroach on this spot from all directions except for the narrow track eastwards.
You can see Giles, a billy goat and a clear pool here.
