Chapter of the Garden

The Garden is a room. It is west of Outside the House.

The other printed name is "The Other Garden".

The description is "There's a hint of roses in the air, coming from an old rose garden that's filled with stunted, flyblown rosebushes. Sunrays shine through the leaves of old trees onto the broken cobblestone path that leads south to an old tennis court at the very back that looks like no-one's using it. You hear the wind through the leaves and the songbirds chirping. You wonder what this place once looked like. It must have been beautiful.[paragraph break][if the cat is in the garden]A black cat is sitting on an old stone wall, its eyes following you through the garden.[end if]

From here you can go east to the house, follow the path west, or go south."

The rose bushes are scenery in the Garden. Understand "roses" and "rose garden" as the rose bushes.

The description is "The rose bushes look unattended because nobody has time to cut them to size."

The other description is "The rose bushes look as neat, that it's almost boring...".

The old stone wall is scenery in the Garden.

The other description of the garden is "There are only trees. If you keep walking west or south, you will walk into mist, which is neither warm nor cold. It feels like you are walking into nothing because it has no temperature, no smell, no texture, and no taste."

The trees are scenery in the garden.

The description is "Nice green leafy trees."

The other description is "The other mother didn't bother to create an interesting other garden, so the trees are boring but creepy, too."
