Spitting-out Room
In this bare stone room, an exit high in the wall leads west, and another door
leads east. From the east you can hear terrible groans and cries.

>E

Gargle Room
You are in the Gargle Room. The Great Gargoyle himself is pacing the floor,
moaning `Gargle, Gargle! What use is a Gargoyle without gargle?' An ignoble
basin stands in the corner; a shelf holds a bottle, a glass a toothbrush and a
piece of paper.

>GET BOTTLE. EXAMINE IT

You have now got the bottle.  It is closed.

>OPEN IT

The bottle is full of absolutely nothing.

>INVENTORY

You are cartying a packet, a red tablet, a lantern, a burning bush, three
blind mice, and a Rock of Ages. You are wearing a frilly neglige.

>READ PACKET

The Packet says `Dehydrated Water.  Add nothing and shake well.'

>ASK GARGOYLE ABOUT GARGLE

The Gargoyle says, `It's a nightmare, I tell you! no water, no gargle, how can
I do my work?'

>EXAMINE GARGOYLE

It's quite the ugliest thing you ever saw, dressed in a sacking robe tied at
the waist with yards of wet hemp rope.

>GET THE GLASS

You have now the glass.

>EMPTY PACKET INTO GLASS

You put the contents of your packet in the glass.

>LOOK IN THE GLASS

What's there to see about a glassful of dehydrated water? The Gargoyle looks
at you curiously.

>EMPTY THE BOTTLE INTO THE GLASS

`What use is a glass of water to me?'

>LOOK AT FOIL PACKET

It says `compliments of C A Vittie DDS.'

>OPEN IT

Opening the packet reveals a pink pill.

>PUT THE PINK PILL INTO THE GLASS

The Pink pill falls, hissing and foaming, to the bottom of the glass. As it
effervesces merrily, the familiar aroma is enough to make your teeth ache.

>GIVE THE GLASS TO THE GARGOYLE

`Gargle! Gargle!' says the Gargoyle. `How can I thank you!' He Gargles noisily
and with repulsive brute satisfaction, tears off his sacking robe and rushes
out of the room.

>FOLLOW THE GARGOYLE

Spitting-out Room
You can see the Gargoyle here - or rather his hindquarters. His head is poking
out of the high western aperture and it sounds as if he is doing what
Gargoyles do. (when they are behaving as nature intended.) [Note, this did not
appear in the transcript, but did appear in a picture of a session window of
part of the transcript]

>LISTEN

The air around you resonates in sympathy with the Gargoyle's violent epiglotid
action.

>E

Gargyle Room
There is a sacking robe and a length of wet hemp rope here.

>GET THE ROPE

You have now got the rope.

>W

Spitting-out Room
You can see the hindquaters of a gurgling Gargoyle here.

>TIE ROPE TO GARGOYLE

The Gargoyle doesn't notice you tying one end of the rope to his rump.

>CLIMB GARGOYLE

You are now on the Gargoyle's sholder. Beyond his head you can see a sheer
drop to the west.

>CLIMB DOWN ROPE ...and so you make good your escape
