After the long climb down from the Owlery, Violet decided to take a walk outside to place her next pumpkin. She decided to put one in the Boathouse, just in case someone happened to sail up to the castle. This place always made Violet feel rather solemn and quiet, so she chose the more dignified of her two pumpkins and placed it on a shelf facing a window. She tapped it once and stood there a while, watching it light up and cackle for a while. Then she began the walk back to the castle.
