Hilltop
You're on a hilltop overlooking the seaside village of Festeron.

To the south stands the Festeron Post Office. It's a little brick building with a neatly trimmed lawn. The Post Office door is closed.

Roads run down the hill to the east and west. There's a signpost nearby.

Outside Cottage
You're outside the cottage of Miss Voss, the town librarian. The road turns north toward the village, and bends upward to the summit of Post Office Hill.

As you approach the cottage you are greeted by the tiniest poodle you've ever seen in your entire life. It charges across the street, yapping angrily and showing its sharp little teeth.

You can smell the poodle's hot breath as it yaps.

The Festeron Public Library, famous for its museum of local historic artifacts, stands proudly on the nearby corner.

Miss Voss, the town librarian, is locking the library door as you approach. "Just the person I was looking for!" she exclaims, smiling brightly.
