- Gavin Carolus: Scarlet, please put this bottle next to the others in the cellar.
- Scarlet: Yes, daddy.
- Athamas (Scarlet): Princess Elodie, I’m so glad to see you! Edwin the Colorful was right! This cave holds a secret. A hidden treasure!
- Princess Elodie (Scarlet): A treasure? Where?

- Princess Elodie (Scarlet): Hmm…

Ah, the long forgotten title character. Bottles, right, gotta get that 5c recycle returns. Crates of apples, or more beets? The alcove isn’t likely to be a secret door, but when you’re armed with both a princess AND a dragon, why wouldn’t it be? They’ll probably need that rubble to burn to prevent death during the oncoming ?-month-long winter.

That can’t be a dumbwaiter. There’s no dumbwaiter. There’s no box. There’s no pulley, no rope, not even a wheel to turn. It’s just an alcove. You put brooms in it, maybe an ironing board, or turn it into a few shelves.
This being a story, I wonder why the press-stones to open the hidden passageway or hidden room are low enough for lil’ Scarlet to push?
