Abbesses - Minette's House of Design

Nancy arrives in an old windmill (Moulin) at Abbesses that was turned into a Minette's House of Design. Minette is throwing one of her famous tantrums.

Office:    Meet Heather McKay, Minette's senior assistant. Nancy lost her luggage and cell phone. Heather gives a Metro pass and explains your duties at the office. Answering the phone is your responsibility. There is a list of things to do on your computer. Learn about staying with Jing Jing, couture and that Minette is designing the First Lady's dress for the World Summit. There is a Zippy calling card and the case files in the tool box.

Minette's workroom:     Go and talk to Minette. Learn about Amy Grunhild (Nancy's secret employer) financing her business. Do not touch the dress form that will be used for the First Lady's dress.

Tea preparation - Minette wants you to brew her special tea. Look at and follow the instructions. Take note of the specific requirements. Nancy will ask Minette questions.

Minette's just had a tantrum and her favorite color is red. She is on a deadline and right handed (Gaviforme family). She is wearing pants today and she selected number 10. She is not humming today, so she needs tea potency rating of 7 and above. Red is her color for the day, so marshy area herbs are needed.

Take the tea from the shelf and place them on the pot over the stove: Boojum (10 potency), Breland (marsh), Callicula (Gaviforme), Fennelry (Gaviforme), Gibbering (22 potency), Hogbone (Gaviforme), Macrophylla (7 potency), Phyrigia (9 potency), Pipsweet (8 potency), Varvaine (marshy) and Yellow Buttons (Gaviforme).

Click on the teapot.

Look around the room. Check the red paint covered large gears on one wall. Read the magazine on the coffee table. The article on Minette written by Jean Michel Traquenard shows a picture of Minette in this office. Minette uses the word 'rude' to mean cool. Check-click the picture of Carol, the dress form and also see a cut off picture of Minette by the large gears. Exit the room and then get called back.

Minette wants 4 more new stuff based on the 4 items at the center podium. Take the basket and be given 195 Euros to buy things at #7 stop Pont Neuf and go to Square Du Vert Galant Park. Look at the 4 items on the podium: a blue drum, red hubcap, green pail and an orange bar stool. Hmm... They are all circular or curved.

Fix plotter:   The  Skard 2 - DV8 leaflet states to adjust the plotter using the V vertical, H height and I ink settings. The leaflet showed 5 possible setting adjustments.

Click the 'start' panel of the plotter right of the desk. See the different settings for V, H and I. The lowest bar on each of the machine settings is the base of the bars on the DV8 leaflet. Do the first bar pattern first and see if that fixes it.

Add one bar to H to have 1 bar on V, 2 on H and 1 bar on I. Click on print. See the plotter produce a good print.

Cookie preparation - Go to Port Neuf - Square Du Vert Galant.

Go to Malika and see that she has mint. She is selling it for 50 Euros. The price is too high. You can buy it or Wait! Remember where we saw a sprig of mint. We'll do that later.

Go to Marchand and buy the Food Substitution Book.

Go to Hotel DeVille and talk to Jean Michel. Ask to order food and then select Crème de Glace. Take the mint.

Go back to JJ's place.

Bake cookies - Read the food substitution book and see that you need 1/2 c of white sugar and 1 tsp of molasses in place of 1/2 c of brown sugar. Go to the pantry cabinet right of the stove and take molasses. See Electrical engineering books. Wonder why she has these books.

Place the molasses at center part of the island behind the measuring spoons. Place the mint on the chopping board on the right and it will be automatically chopped. Now, you're ready to start.

Rue du Bac - Dieter von Schwesterkrank:    Talk to Dieter. He gives a postcard owned by his great uncle. It shows 4 keyholes or key places: catacomb, Moulin (windmill), the Cross of Lorraine and the secret passage through the small clock here at Dieter's. Each corner has the hazelnut picture. We've seen the one here at the secret passage. Let's check the one at the Cross of Lorraine.

Eyes, graph and codes - The other side of the postcard has columns and rows of colored eyes. Read the dot cipher coding in page 11 - 12 of the code book.

Also check the date shift cipher.

Look at the postcard with eyes in inventory, then place the graph paper from book taken from the secret passage over the eyes. See that the eyes fit under certain letters or number.

Remember what the researcher, Lynn Manrique said - that Noisette's last words were red left... green.

From left to right, click on all red eyes looking left and all green eyes.

Take note of the colored words: gray Europe, pink Pont Neuf, blue Blanche and purple Chateau Rouge.

Remember the tips in the letter found inside the M380 book. One of the tips is about the usage of metro stops as codes.

Europe is a metro line 3 stop; Pont Neuf is a metro line 7 stop; Blanche is a metro line 2 stop and Chateau Rouge is a metro line 4 stop.

Enter the numbers 3 7 2 4 on the lock. Take the propeller type key.

Enter and see what Noisette has taken during the war.

Go forward to the stand and take the letter under the glass cover. Read what Noisette wrote. How sad! 3 Roman numerals are seen under her initials: X IV III.

Put down the glass cover of the stand and the trap bars are triggered.

Lock door - Open the door and see words inscribed on the plate with lines underneath.

Check pages 8, 9 and 10 of  the decoder book. Review the date shift cipher.

Code the words - Using a set of numbers, shift the alphabet to the right. For example if one of the number is 2 and the alphabet to be decoded is C; it will shift to the right 2 places to make C to an E.

The set of numbers used to shift the letters here is taken from the M380. Use 380 as the shift number.
