““Archie!” Hachi cried.
“Ow,” Archie said from the darkness.
“Archie? Are you all right?” Hachi called.
“Yeah. I don’t think I broke anything. The pelt must have broken my fall again. Whoa, hey. Lights are coming on—”
Gaslights flickered on in the cavern, and Archie saw the floor and walls all around him were covered with brass picture frames.
“Hey—hey, it’s that room we saw my parents in! Get down here!”
Mr. Rivets had already gone to the steam mule for a rope. Hachi shimmied down, then helped ...hold the rope for Fergus.
“I’ll just stay up here and wait for you to get back then, shall I?” said Mr. Rivets. There was no way the rope would hold his weight.
“We’ll be back before you wind down!” Archie called up.
“Just how long can he go without winding?” Fergus asked quietly.
The room they had dropped into was certainly strange. The walls, ceiling, and floor were all made of brass just like the picture frames, which were permanently attached.
