Houseboy:
Step back from the door a bit and look at the surrounding wall. When I first started working here I thought this place a palace, and these walls made of marble blocks. But after cleaning them, I found the marble to be simply paper covering. Look closely, you'll see it's only long strips of marble paper pasted lengthwise. In China, marble is marble, but here sometimes it's just fancy looking paper! Paper fades... Now that you've seen your inside duties, it's time to go outside to see what you must do outside in the garden.

Continue right through the door and outside.
