1. Poor Linanne. She really did understand the social limitations of being a MEMBER OF THE MEPHITIDAE FAMILY, but she felt the housing allocations for the weekend had been a tad unfair. All the ungracious administrator had available was a LARGE STURDY CHEST. In essence Linanne was reduced to living in a what?
2. Georgie was at a complete loss. He had thought that he had booked far enough ahead to secure one of the tiny rooms in the abbey.

3. Young Gregory, the SMALL CARNIVORE OF THE GENUS MUSTELA, was waiting to see where he would sleep. He was attending the World Wide Scrabble Championships in the city's old art gallery, and wanted to have a nap before registration. The young receptionist looked embarrassed.

4. Oh dear. Ronald the ARBOREAL ANTHROPOID APE was heading to the Oshkosh air show.

6. Heath the LARGE BOVINE ANIMAL was stumped. There was simply nowhere to spend the night and it was getting late.

Where did he spend the night?
7. Carol was a LARGE CARTILAGINOUS FISH with a problem. The ocean was full and she badly needed a quiet place to sleep.
