is roofless around nothing." To the four of them this book is dedicated with much love. Thanks also to Doris Kretschmer for her editorial assistance and to Carol Lennox and Richard Povall in the Mills College faculty computer center, who provided invaluable assistance in preparation of the manuscript.įinally, I am most grateful to my daughters, Mary, Elizabeth, and Margaret, for the extraordinary understanding with which they saw me through every stage of this effort and all the life changes that accompanied it and to Michael, my best critic, my teacher in much, my partner in everything, without whom "all I do at piling stone on stone . . . I am grateful to the National Endowment for the Humanities for a summer grant that gave me time and means to take a closer look at historic houses in New England as well as a long second look at my manuscript and to the Arnold Graves Foundation for funding a sabbatical leave that brought the work near completion. The backdrop to all those conversations was my own valuable experience of what home, housekeeping, and homemaking meant, gathered in the years I spent with my reflective and articulate parents, Mary and LeGare Chandler. Among those I wish especially to thank are Kathryn Reiss and Tom Strychacz, David Troxel, Vicki Reback, Bill Howarth, Karl Zender, Kevin Clark, Laura Jason, Kearnon Kanne, and the students in my course on architecture and fiction. Many others participated along the way with good ideas, helpful criticism, and an occasional admonishment to get on with it. I first want to thank Patricia Troxel for our long conversations about American fiction and culture in which the idea for this book was born and began to take shape. I owe much to many who contributed new perspectives, advice, patience, love, and much listening time as this book took shape. This book has reminded me of two truths about authorship: that writing is a joyful but isolating business and that at the same time every book is a collaborative effort. Dwelling in the Text: Houses in American Fiction. Berkeley: University of California Press, c1991 1991. 1.8.0: Rarity tag for all unique relics changed to mythical.Preferred Citation: Chandler, Marilyn R.The player can get the following badges for collecting relics: Relics can be burned for relic ash, donated to Captain Billweather Snout's collection, or sold. When the player completes it by placing a horned stone skull, they may receive a relic of a random rarity. Once per day, a stone skull pattern will spawn on a random location on the island. The wooden dowsing rod can be used once a day, the metal rod twice a day, and the master rod thrice a day. Players can upgrade the dowsing rod to use it multiple times each day and get rarer items. Once the player gets close enough, an X mark appears on the ground, and the player can interact with it to get a relic and place it in their backpack. Once the player receives their first dowsing rod from Jeremy Gruffle, they can take it in hand to play "hot or cold" minigame to find a spirit well, with the flame becoming bigger when the player is near it, and turning into a snowflake when they're going the wrong way. Some quests given by bears may also reward the player with relics. Relics can be obtained by dowsing or completing skull patterns.
