Other notes:

You need to collect everything before Prongleman comes home. (If that comment seems obvious and unhelpful, the author extends his apologies. Keep trying! It's not as hard as it seems.)

You may enjoy reading the newspaper in the Dining Room. (It's on the SIDEBOARD. It has four sections. It contains no useful information.)
