Enter after Serving Tea
Complete Alexandra’s accepted tea with two portions of sugar, then head left through the door beside her crate. The original guide calls this the living room. Match its fireplace, window and cabinet rather than using the words “living room” for any estate interior.
Aldous asks for his glass here. The later Day 3 dining scene has a full dinner menu and a chandelier sequence; use Day 3 Evening for that room.
Champagne, William’s arrival and the cigar
Get the glass and champagne
Open the lower cabinet for Aldous’s glass. Rotate the champagne-box pieces to 1753, shown on the note. Give Aldous the glass and fill it.
Let William in
Take the wood on the left side and open the window for William. Once he is seated, give him the champagne bottle. If you want Soothing the Baby, use the bottle on James before this.
Read the broken-bottle arrow
Fit the bottle fragments on the floor into one continuous arrow, then reproduce its pattern on the other cabinet box. Take the cigar.
Extinguish the mouth flames
Give William the cigar, light it with matches and click until he inhales it. Inside his mouth, the left and right tooth controls move the saliva source; the center releases saliva. Align it over each flame and release until all are out.
Checkpoint: Take the spoon after the flames are extinguished.
Prepare the three fish toasts
The small tree in the cabinet provides fly eggs. Read its four direction tabs from left to right. Use each arrangement below to guide the fly into one of the large buds rather than the tiny ones:
On a narrow screen, scroll the table sideways to read all columns.
| Path | Tab positions, left to right |
|---|---|
| 1 | L L L R |
| 2 | L L R L |
| 3 | L R R L |
| 4 | R L L L |
| 5 | R R L L |
| 6 | R R R R |
Collect the protein
After all six large buds are visited, take the fly eggs.
Get and grill the fish
Place the wood in the fireplace and light it. On the still-life painting, click Timepiece → Book → Elixir → Fish. Put the revealed fish on the fire and take the grilled fish.
Assemble and serve
Place grilled fish on the toast and sprinkle fly eggs on top. Pick up all three fish toasts and give one to each adult Vanderboom.
Checkpoint: All three have eaten; speak to Aldous.
Finish the speech, crying and snoring
Begin the speech
Tap Aldous’s glass with the spoon and speak to him.
Settle James’s interruption
Follow the required crying sequence: James’s eyes, moon, James’s body, Alexandra’s ring, necklace gem, lips, cloud and Alexandra’s eyes.
Checkpoint: James sleeps again.
Wake the snoring William
Tug his ear and inspect his eye. If it looks up, tap his hat; right, tap his ear; down, tap his collar. Read each new reaction and continue without a wrong choice.
Checkpoint: William wakes.
Finish the conversation
Speak to Aldous again.
Checkpoint: Opening the Reunion ends. Return to Kate for The Night Watch.
You leave this room segment when the reunion is finished. The bell-and-candle patrol happens in the hallways, and the first-night attic comes after it.
