The secretary's office(w and e)<br>
<br>
You stand in a small but elegant room.  It is extremely well kept and orderly.  Several doorways lead to this room, and it seems as though this must be the hub of some well-oiled network.  Chairs line the west wall, and a desk surrounded by several filing cabinets and other stacks of scrolls and books lie near the east wall. Sitting quietly behind a mound of papers, working diligently while humming some wordless tune, sits a small woman with greying hair. She is perched upon a thickly cushioned chair behind the desk.<br>
The west door is closed.<br>
The only obvious exits are west and east.<br>
Beatrice the Durmanhoth secretary<br>
