Geoffery's Quarters

(STRICTLY OFF LIMITS TO VISITORS)

Geoffrey, the faithful butler, friend and occasional co-conspirator of the Professor, chose these rooms when he first moved into the manor primarily by virtue of their having openable windows that don't fall out of their frames when touched. The bedroom lacks a bed; instead the main room now consists of a small forest of rough timber climbing frames, ropes and whatever trees Geoffrey has been able to drag inside. The solid teak wardrobe in the corner has since been converted to a convenient fruit pantry; Geoffrey instead prefers to hang his clothing on the high-up, outer branches of a dead tree.

The only human furniture retaining its intended function in these quarters can be found in the en suite bathroom. If there is one simple non-essential delight common to all primates it is that of a big, steaming-hot bubblebath. Although it took a while for the Professor to train Geoffrey to not attempt to drink the fruit-scented bubblebath he is now fully bath-trained and has even been known on occasion to unclog the hair-filled plughole after batheing.
