Extras

Characters

• Mrs Antrobus is your current client. She hired you to find her husband.
• A stern-looking clerk mans her desk in the Waiting Room.
• Mr Antrobus is meekly waiting his turn in the Waiting Room. He recently drowned off the coast of Hawaii.
• Whaley (first name: Morton) is also in the Waiting Room. You don't want him to spot you; you owe him money.
• Many other people are also waiting in the Waiting Room.

Mentioned:

• Mrs Crosbie is a recent client whose siamese you rescued last month.
• Douglas Adams is mentioned in the author's notes at the end of the game.

Inventory

• a voluminous leather overcoat. You're wearing it. Search it to find what's in it.
• a rakish hat. You're wearing it. Remove it to disguise yourself from Whaley.
• no cigarettes. You're carrying them. Unfortunately, you can't really do anything with them.
• a mobile phone. It's inside your overcoat. Answer the phone when it rings.
• an anchovy. It's inside your overcoat. It's left over from a pizza. Feel free to eat it if you want to.
• an old raffle ticket. It's inside your overcoat. Look at it. Give it to the clerk in the Waiting Room when she calls your number.

Thank You to my Patreon supporters

This walkthrough is provided free of charge since I wrote this walkthrough prior to January 2015 when I began my Patreon account, and also because the work it's based on has less than fifteen locations (so I wouldn't have charged for it anyway). I've since reformatted this walkthrough to use my currently preferred style. I hope you enjoy it!

I'm still creating new walkthroughs! Larger ones too! Please visit my Patreon account if you're interested in helping me create more interactive fiction walkthroughs. I appreciate all the help I can get! Thanks again.
