Has entered Treehouse and admired clean floor.

Thinks it is now possible to see the unclean substances that enter the treehouse.

gets out Baedeker and looks for 'frustration' in index

Cannot find an entry

Lokks up 'egress' in Baedeker

Finds entry to effect that 'egress' is a rare polar relative of Speckles but a but smaller and bird shaped, not really like Speckles at all.

Seeks solace in bottle with tomato pictured on label.
