     CURVING HALL, WEST END

     The curving corridor ends here, in a blank plaster wall relieved by
     a single window. The window looks out on a strange subterranean
     prospect to the west. You can return east, pass through the archway
     to the north, or try the closed door to the south.

   > look at window

     A broad glass pane looks out over a dark cavern. This end of the
     corridor seems to be deep underground. A natural cave spreads out
     below; its mammoth columns and cascades of flowstone are only dimly
     picked out by the candlelight behind you. The farther reaches are
     hidden in darkness. But the shining waterfall before you is easily
     visible. A stream pours in from your right, tumbles from a ledge,
     and plummets into a pit beneath the window. The water seems to
     sparkle with some natural phosphorescence.

   > break window

     The glass ignores your assault.

   > enter archway

     ARBORETUM

     The walls here are painted white and are utterly undecorated. An
     archway leads south. In the center of the room stands an
     earthenware tub. From it sprouts a tangle of vines, broad fan-like
     leaves, and an enormous golden flower. The luxuriant growth
     clashes, you think, with the room’s stark emptiness.

   > look at flower

     The plant sits alone in its pot, in the center of the empty room.
     The golden flower is nearly the size of your head. It rises from a
     tangle of vines and leaves that would better suit an unexplored
     south-coast swamp than someone’s home.

   > take flower

     The plant’s stems look too thick to break.

   > smell flower

     You lean forward and take a deep breath of the flower’s aroma.

     Memory nearly bursts through.

   This moves us to

     DANK JUNGLE (IN THE EARTHENWARE TUB)

     You are standing waist-deep in an empty earthenware tub, in the
     midst of a trackless jungle.

     Heavy, entangled trunks and vines loom in every direction, as far
     as you can see – and you can’t see far. The sky is entirely
     obscured by layers of vegetation. Only a murky green light filters
     down to you. But golden flowers dot the trees, like bursts of sun.

     An iron key is balanced neatly on the edge of the tub.

   > take key

     Taken.

   > get out of tub

     You swing your legs out of the tub, and find the world swinging
     around you…

   This moves us to

     ARBORETUM

     The walls of the room are painted in green slashes, like the trunks
     of uncounted trees, and splashed with gold. An archway leads south.
     A hint of sweet-rank perfume touches you as you breathe.

   > inventory

     You are carrying an iron key.

В KEKS схемах (021d6a90d3dfc6c0b812c66f1b4e811a444644fe) я добавлял
команду EXAMINED, которая кодируется "x" символом. В голове была
исключительно отсылка к "x" команде множества interactive fiction игр.
