Two stone lions crouch before you, flanking an immense oak with heavy, low branches. A lush valley extends to the south. ^ Tree1 u:Tree2 d:Grove; lflags{Outdoors} Oak Tree^ You are sitting comfortably in the fork of a big branch. The branches are spread out high over your head. The sun shines through the leaves, so that you must shade your eyes with your hand to look up. ^ Tree2 n:Elm d:Tree1; lflags{Outdoors} Oak Tree^ You are high up, near the crest of the oak tree. You can see the branches of an elm tree to the north, almost touching the oak. Farther away, the tops of the trees thin out into little terraced fields propped by stone walls, and groves dark with olive trees and walnuts. In the distance is the sea where a boat is idly sailing. ^ Elm n:Fig e:Mulberry s:Tree2 w:Walnut; lflags{Outdoors} Elm Tree^ You are in an elm tree, high above the ground. This is not an easy tree to move about on as the branches grow upwards, slender and thickly covered, leaving little foothold. To the north you can see the twisted shape of a fig tree, to your west is a knobby walnut, and to your east is a mulberry. In the south are the oaks, haughty and detached. ^ Mulberry e:Magnolia w:Elm; lflags{Outdoors} Mulberry Tree^ Some branches of the mulberry tree reach and overhang a high fortress-like wall to your east. Over the wall you can see a magnolia, from whose black branches spring pulpy white flowers and shiny dark leaves. ^ Magnolia e:Bedroom w:Mulberry d:Gardens; lflags{Outdoors} Magnolia Tree^ The branches, although they are slender and of soft wood, bear your weight, and the points of your shoes tear white wounds on the black bark. You are enveloped in the fresh scent of leaves, turned this way and that by the wind, dull one moment and glittering the next. Quite far below the lowest branch is a mysterious garden, and to the east, a half-hidden mansion. One high window is quite near your tree. ^ Bedroom e:Landing w:Magnolia; lflags{} Mansion Bedroom^ This looks like a little girl's bedroom. An arched doorway leads east. The room is beautifully furnished with curtains of white taffeta, a Persian carpet, and a tiny canopied bed with cushions of pale yellow damask. Rosewood chairs surround a tiny silver table, with a doll's tea service set for two. ^ Landing s:^window_landing w:Bedroom d:mansion; lflags{} Mansion Landing^ You are standing in a great pool of colored light, cast by the stained glass of a vast coat of arms in a south-facing window, depicting an heraldic leopard. To your west is an arched doorwary. A huge, curving marble staircase extends downwards into the mansion, past paintings and stern-looking busts. You have an uncontrollable desire to slide down a banister. ^ Ilex n:^window_ilex; lflags{} Ilex Tree^ In the ilex, deep in the thickest press of leaves, you find a hanging pavilion with curtains flapping in the wind, shaded by a large, fringed parasol. Stuck on the branches here and there are fluttering ribbons and scraps of lace. Butterflies dart in pairs among the curtains. ^ Mansion w:Entrance u:Landing; lflags{} Mansion^ Here in the mansion, silver shines and lacquer glows, carved gilt chairs line the walls, sofas have legs like swans' necks and rest on lions' paws, and a great deal of dust spirals slowly through the air, lit by innumerable softly glowing candles. A marble staircase curves upwards, and you can see the gardens through a doorway to the west. ^ Gardens e:Entrance; lflags{Outdoors} Mansion Gardens^ In the gardens the branches spread out above you like the tentacles of extraordinary animals, and the plants on the ground open up stars of fretted leaves like the green skins of reptiles, and wave feathery yellow bamboos with a rustle like paper. A white flight of stairs leads east to the mansion. Above you is a sweet-scented magnolia tree, but the lowest branch is too high for you to reach. ^ Entrance e:Mansion w:Gardens; lflags{} Mansion Entrance^ You are standing on a small white porch. A white flight of stairs lead west to the gardens. The mansion door is to your east. ^ Fig n:Olive s:Elm; lflags{Outdoors} Fig Tree^ You are in a fig tree, under the pavilion of leaves, watching the sun move slowly through the network of twigs and branches, smelling the scent of flowers budding in the stalks. The fig tree seems to absorb you, permeate you with its gummy texture and the buzz of hornets, and you feel uneasy. To the north is a small olive grove. ^ Olive e:Olive4 s:Fig w:Olive2; lflags{Outdoors} Olive Tree^ You find that the olive trees make comfortable and easy passages for you, in spite of the scarcity of thick branches. The grove extends to the east and west. ^ Olive2 e:Olive s:Olive3; lflags{Outdoors} Olive Tree^ This tree is hung all over with scrawled pieces of paper and bits of cardboard with maxims from Seneca and Shaftesbury, and with various objects: clusters of feathers, church candles, crowns of leaves, women's corsets, pistols, scales, tied to each other in a certain order, the significance of which has been lost. The olive grove continues to the east. ^ Olive3 n:Olive2; lflags{Outdoors} Olive Tree^ In this tree there is a kind of hanging bookcase, sheltered somewhat from the rains. The olive grove continues to the north. ^ Olive4 w:Olive; lflags{Outdoors} Olive Tree^ This tree juts out from a cliff, and through the leaves and branches you find the sea there facing you, calm and limpid and vast as the sky. The horizon opens wide and high and the sea-blue is stretched bare, without a sail. You can almost count the far-off ripples of the waves. Only a very light rustle, like a sigh, runs over the pebbles on the beach. ^ Walnut e:Elm; lflags{Outdoors} Walnut Tree^ You are in an old and stately nut tree. At the fork of the trunk is a hollow, formed from an old ax wound. A soft boarskin is stretched across the hollow, making a cosy refuge in the shade of the dark green foliage. In a deep incision in the bark, now so old and deformed that it no longer seems the work of human hands, is carved in big letters: Cosimo, Viola, and beneath: Ottimo Massimo. ^ Hole s:Burrow u:^HoleFox d:Burrow; lflags{} Fox Hole^ You have crawled into a damp, narrow fox hole. The roots of the giant oak are all around you. The burrow continues to the south, but the fox smell is stronger there. ^ Burrow n:Hole s:Den u:Burrow d:Den; lflags{Dark} Fox Burrow^ You are crawling around on your hands and knees in a cramped north-south fox burrow. The stench of fox permeates the burrow and gets even stronger towards the south. The air to the north is somewhat fresher. ^ Den n:Burrow u:Burrow; lflags{Dark} Fox Den^ You are wedged into a reeking fox den. Strangely enough, the vixen has built her den adjoining a huge natural cavern that extends deep into the earth, much farther than your feeble flame can penetrate. It looks like it might go all the way to China! You could jump in, but you would fall a long way.... There is a blinking construction sign here. ^
