Havelock has made himself busy in the meantime, and two doors - one to the outside corridor, and the one through which they are arrived - are now effectively barred with what chairs and tables he could find; the other doors stand open from when he had checked to see where they led. They are mostly bedrooms, but two lead to small bathrooms (complete with jacuzzis, because the proprietress has her priorities straight) and one to a smaller private bar.

He reappears from the latter once he hears Puck's voice, and nods thoughtfully.

"I may well do before too long," he says. "Though we are reasonably secure here for the moment - and there may be a way downstairs that bypasses the corridors."
