Aren't numbers usually on the outsides of chamber doors?

With whom is the illegal bargain being made?

All these objects (esp. the part of a church) are IN the chamber?
(I know, I know, this reply will only encourage him.)
Actually, to answer your question ...
I'm at my keyboard. "You" is in a chamber.

Well, I could, but I think it's appropriate here, too

| Andrew,
I have thought about this one for a while, but I still can't seem
to make any progress. Presumably your statement that the problem
is appropriate for this conference means there is some word-play
involved, but I will need some more hints. For example, where exactly
is the direct evidence of my equipment (if you'll pardon the
expression)?
Ian.

Where could such a crime be committed. Red and white
wine can't be kept at the same temperature here in France; it
would be not only a capital offense, but also a sign of poor
education :)
I'm afraid I have a suspicion about where such a thing is possible;
but I won't say it here, for reasons pertaining to international
relationships and all that.

| I shan't assume anything about the place Roger suspects may
be a hive of wine chillers/heaters. But I think it may be
worth considering two points:
o the notion of serving red wine at room temperature
evolved long before central heating; rooms were
colder then
o the first time I saw red wine in a fridge was in
Montpellier (sp?) and the person who had put it
there was French born and bred

| G'day,
Would the reason that the wines are at room temperature be because
that have sat untouched for some time? Would the vintage on the
labels be out of time-sync with the events? Would the animals be
alive? Does the magnolia have any significance with the Southern
States? Are the people alive today? in the Scene?
... and yes I have a thought behind tese questions!

| Of course I knew the answer all along, but I just didn't want to spoil
it for the rest of you. After all, a real gem like that shouldn't be
wasted!!! But what happened to "chamber pot"? Doesn't that belong on
the list? It certainly is where the question belongs!

2) G for guzzunder
