After I've underlined some sentences, I can't get rid of the pen. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Let's wait for help here.

Have you tried right click or exit the paper?

Laurette -- after you underline something, you click on the gear icon to have it "register" that you're finished underlining. The game then tells you if what you've underlined is interesting or not.

If you want to get out of the close-up book screen, you can click on the bottom icon under the pen that takes you out of the screen. Or you can right-click or you can hit the "Esc" key.

Thanks, Becky.

Thanks, Becky. I got rid of the pen!

Am now supposed to be making bug spray. Found all ingredients, except the water. Where do I get it? Thanks.

I think it's in one of the bottles on the shelves in the hutch in that room with the table.

I thought I'd looked at them all; will try again. Thanks.

Laurette.

Did find the water. Thanks.
New question: How do you use the camera? (on the stones). Can't get it to work. Tried the floor puzzle without using it, and it doesn't work. Thanks.

Did you try right-clicking on the camera in inventory, and then clicking on the stones?

Thanks, Becky.

Becky: When I right click, the camera is in my hands. When I left click the camera on the stones, nothing happens. Naturally, right clicking again puts it away. I'll keep trying and hope I don't need a saved game. Thanks.

How about this: left click on the camera in inventory, right right click to get rid of the inventory bar, then the camera has become your cursor. Click the camera cursor (using the left mouse button) on the stone.
