I was inspired by a part where it said his fine dressing case was covered in rings from the chaplain's cocoa (though I'm sure Killick cleaned it up before the varnish was ruined.)

What a fun dream! I always loved stories about mini people who either lived in dollhouses or like the Borrowers who took things from the real world to use at their scale. But there was one story I read where a house had actually been shrunk, and the girl thought it was just the most amazing dollhouse, but it was actually real - and then SHE got shrunk inside it.
