## In-Game Description

Looks like someone had the bright idea to plant their own garden in the middle of the rubble. Maybe I should check it out.

The Flowerdews! Weren't they always winning awards for their gardens?

Are wastrels really as crazy as Uncle Jack's been telling us? Vomit Man seemed like an entirely reasonable person. I suppose we all have to help each other out here.

Poor guy! I'm glad I was able to help him.

Someone nicked Mrs. Flowerdew's diary. Said he'd hid it in his "toiletries." What an odd thing to say!

I'm glad I could get her diary back to her. They have so little.

I shouldn't grab more than one thing. Should I?

Righto.

So Humphry has lost his letter in the mine, and he won't go in himself. I wonder what's so important about his letter?

What's all this about some secret new advanced Joy treatment?

Don't get too grabby, Arthur.

Now we're even.

## Walkthrough

After encountering the Flowerdews up on Pancake Hill, Margery begs the player to help cure her husband Bob with a Neximide Pill as he's going through severe food poisoning.

Once the player gives Bob the pill, they get to break open their crate and take one piece of bread from it. If the player takes more, the wastrels will get angry and attack him, failing the quest in the process.

After taking one slice of bread, Margery will tell the player that a strange man stole her diary and hid it in his "toiletries". If the player got it back for her, they can get another slice of bread.

The location of the toiletries are not shown on the map itself, so the player will have to follow the indicator from the quest.

The player will come across a circle of trees with toilets attached to them, Margery's diary will either be in one of the bowls, or on a nearby crate. The player is able to read her diary if they want to, the passage will stay in the notes either way.

After giving the diary back to Margery, the player gets to take another bread from the crate.

Once they take another bread, Humphry, a friend of the Flowerdew's, worries about having lost something. When the player talks to him, he says that a very important letter blew away into the mine underneath Pancake Hill and that he needs it back, but is too scared to go and get it himself.

After retrieving the note and giving it back to Humphry, the player gets to take the last piece of bread from the crate. Ending the quest.
