There are 16 jigsaw pieces to find, and 16 animals to sketch in 16
different areas or `episodes' in history.

CENTURY PARK - 1999

1ST PIECE. Go E into the Beer Tent (don't forget to take the
sparkler there), and when you exit again Black has dropped it on
the ground.  Go SE from Century Park to Behind the Tent, get
rucksack, open box and search it, then take the strange device and
the tagged key. In the Vestry open the piano stool and look in it
- get Emily's sketch book; then look under stool and get charcoal
pencil. In the Churchyard sketch the NIGHT-JAR. Go to the corner

of the park where you see the monument, and climb it. Examine the
lightning conductor, then "melt conductor", down, enter monument.

Inside the monument look under table to find the 2ND PIECE, and
clean table to reveal the puzzle board. Aha!  Fiddle about with
it, and when you put each piece in the correct position, it will
pulsate with light and show a picture. You can then travel to the
corresponding area in time by typing (eg) "push a1". After solving
an area and returning to the Monument, you can't go back to that
area, so be careful not to leave things behind - you never know
what might come in useful for another area.

The ormolu clock returns you to the Monument after the alarm rings
- so remember to "get clock" and cart it around with you on your
travels. To give yourself the maximum time in each area set it to
59 (turn hand/clock to 59). You can always return from an area by
typing "turn hand to 1". The device opens a time window in each
episode when you have "solved" the temporal crisis there (if you
push the button when it makes a noise), and tells you what year it
is in each episode.

Drop unwanted/unused items in the Corridor with the locked case,
otherwise your room description at the table will get clogged up
with all the dumped items.

ARCHDUKE FERDINAND - FLAT OVERLOOKING STREET

Unlock the dresser with the tagged key to find 3RD PIECE. Shake
hands with Black for an extra point.  Listen to what Black says,
then examine the rifle he/she gives you. "Switch catch off" and
wait until the Archduke arrives, shoot Archduke, sketch HORSES.
Black takes the device from you, so watch what he/she does (enter
ball), then return to Monument by the ormolu clock method. Black
has returned the device here....
