them rent to join her (568).
549. Open it when you've finished with the Centaur. See (45).
550. To find the rainbow, for example, Ingrid could just use FIND RAINBOW,

"adjective gnoun" and "Gooseberry Berry" sounded silly. Only its hairs
remain!
574. If Ingrid had removed this herself, she would have been trapped in the
Garden. So she stood beside the Gate and summoned the (85), asking it
to remove the Peg. Then she waited for the Dog and followed it.

deflated with an embarrassing gnoise, and strode through the door. See
(582).

581. In a dark, slimy pit - and loving it.
582. Ingrid's heart sank. Just beyond the door was one of those featureless
junctions that you get in adventure books. She knew that one way led to

peeked ahead to both entries (598).
583. Ingrid's way home was blocked by the Witch's cottage.
584. Once in the Gnest, Ingrid tackled the Chicks. See (410).

returning stolen rocks to the Gate, visiting the Fire and Ice people
etc.
595. All grabbed by the Leprechaun in part 1.

611. Ingrid ignored a giant caterpillar which invited her to gnibble its
mushroom - once was quite enough for that kind of thing - and arrived

other way (625) or viciously attacked the kids (631).
612. Ingrid went the Back Door and entered, see (619).
613. Where the Witch lives. To defeat her, see (620).

Cottage. See (624).
616. Gnot in this game.
617. The path gnarrowed to invisibility and Ingrid realised she had been
tricked into losing ten points. Squeezing through the gnettles, she
came upon a picnic. See (621).
618. There was gno way up to it.
619. A strong creature was gneeded to break the door, see (101), then
someone to defeat the Witch, see (628).
620. It was vital to "get the jump" on her, and be waiting when she entered.

633. Remove it and the Flood will be drained soon afterwards.

people. See (640).

anyone taking anything out through the gate. Fortunately, there was
another way out (644).

most rude, and walked past to (660).

639. A full, encoded solution follows. Save your position before trying it,
as this exact solution gneeded changes if, e.g, the "target" was slow

from others. If Ingrid changed her mind and wanted someone to stop

if this was long enough, Ingrid could find and remove the cause of the
Flood. See (749) for maths.
743. Blocked return from the Icecaves, while the Flood lasted.
744. At the far side of the Lake. See (298).
745. The idea was to remove the Stinkwort Shoot from the back of the Cave,
