AirsThird Paragraph
1 - 29Stacked by the door are crates and crates of wooden nutcrackers destined for the Surface.
34 - 49Stacked by the door are crates of commemorative pepper-grinders in honour of the Captivating Princess.
50 - 67Piled at one end of the room are dozens of identical clocks ready for shipment.
70 - 78Stacked by the door are crates of miniature model ships, each exquisitely constructed and painted.
