Nell got lost in the hallways and started crying; but her book told her a 
story about Princess Nell getting lost in the endless corridors of the Dark 
Castle, and how she found her way out by using her wits, and this made Nell 
feel safe—as though she could never be really lost when she had her book 
with her. Eventually Nell found the playroom. It was on the first floor of the 
building. As usual, there were lots of kids there and no parents. There was a 
special space off to the side of the playroom where babies could sit in 
strollers and crawl around on the floor. Some mommies were in there, but they 
told her she was too big to play in that room. Nell went back to the big 
playroom, which was full of kids who were much bigger than Nell.
