You are Philip, left at the Grange with Lucy after Helen, who raised you, starts a life of her own. Resentment turns into a city built from books, chessmen, and candlesticks, until the nursery vanishes and the toys become full-sized streets under a real moon. Guards arrest you as a trespasser, and Lucy, who followed you, is judged beside you. A wooden figure from her toy ark begs you both to escape before dawn, though he will not say whether you are meant to save this city or destroy it.
