You've missed one hidden switch. It's on the light fixture in the room with all the paintings. It's quite hard to spot. That will get you the key to a cash box that is downstairs, in a little hole in the end of the Probate bookcase in the Library. You'll find the key in there to the lockbox you found in the secret upstairs.

There is an irritating bug with this mission, though - you don't need to complete the final objective. The mission completes after you grab the diamond, so getting out through the front door is impossible.
The author seemed more fixated on making every light in the mission switchable than making sure the goals worked correctly.

Thanks Nightwalker,
I have now finished this mission.
[SPOILER]I have to admit that I would have never found that cubby hole in the library if you hadn't of told me. Even after you did tell me, I still couldn't find it. I almost had to post back to ask you exactly where it was.[/SPOILER] But I finally found it.
I was looking at the voting page for these missions, and I don't really know how to judge them on the criteria specified. All I can do is to say which ones I enjoyed, and which I didn't. So, I guess I can't use that page. So far, my favorite is still "Unfortunate Formula".

Komag will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you have to use that page, or at least vote according to the format setup on that page and all the categories, if you want your votes to be counted. I don't know his policy on partial votes, but I'm not sure he'll be able to handle a simple list of the submissions you liked and disliked without a categorical breakdown.
But I could be wrong... :)

I have the key from the Probate bookcase and used it. What did it open? I can hear a rumbling but can't find the diamond. Help please!

The pedestal out in the main room moves aside and there's a hole under it.
Lynx67 on 27/3/2003 at 17:43
Boy, do I feel dumb. I had thrown the flower pot over by the pedestal and it blocked it from moving. I bet we searched for almost an hour trying to find something that had moved. I picked up the flower pot and.......

LOL! That would be confusing! :)

How do you all know which is the probate bookcase? I see the gold plates that highlight at the top of each bookcase but the wording is not showing up on my screen. Are the plates supposed to be giving you the names of the bookcases? If so, I have another quirk here and need to know which bookcase is the probate one. Thanks.
Nightwalker on 23/6/2003 at 21:03
Yes, the word should show up at the top of your screen when you read the plaque. Go into that room through the door from the room with all the little tables with lamps on them. The bookcase you want if the one directly across the room from that door. :)
