<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>When I asked Dan about it, he said it was a
genuine error. I like the idea of a story based on this sealed
off space very much, and I do seem to recall suggesting it to Don at
the time. Certainly it would need someone with his dedication to research
to pull it off, and I imagine it would also need to fit with the stories Don has
already written about the old fort, the Junior Woodchucks and Scrooge's early
history.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>In my minds eye I see the designer spotting the
error but then I see Scrooge forbidding any variation to contract
which would cost him more money so it doesn't get corrected.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>SHAUN:<BR><BR>> - There's an accidentally sealed off secret hollow space
in the <BR>> basement, I kind of liked this architect's error so I left it
in.<BR><BR>I wonder if it really is an architect's error, or if there's a story
behind <BR>the construction of this inaccessible vault, that's waiting to be
told. I <BR>guess only Don and Dan know.<BR><BR>Kriton.<BR>-----<BR>"I am not
