	\| It was not long before the thief revealed himself. At first, I thought I had passed from waking into dreaming. I was standing there in the darkened alcove, eyes trained on the niche wherein I had placed the trinkets. I was alone in the silent halls. I could neither see nor hear any other man. I waited for hours. Over time, I began to fear that my trap had been laid for naught. Perhaps I had been spotted. Perhaps the thief had finished his assault on the Royal Hall just as I had formulated my plan of capture. Or perhaps the lazy fiend had simply decided to take the night off.		\| It was not long before the thief revealed himself. At first, I thought I had passed from waking into dreaming.

	\| I despaired that the night would pass without incident until I noticed a shape in the gloom of the darkened hallways. Its silhouette gradually separated from the darkness around it, as if it had been there all along and my eyes were only now able to pick it out from its shadowy surroundings. Had it been here all along? Had I truly not seen this thing until now? I was shocked that I could miss such a thing. But more startling than that was the nature of the shape. It was a large mushroom, seemingly planted in the stone floor of the Royal Hall! A mushroom half as tall as a man!		\| I despaired that the night would pass without incident until I noticed a shape in the gloom of the darkened hallways.

	\| I had thought that I was looking at a large mushroom cap sitting atop a lone stalk. But as it began to walk, I noticed that what I had thought to be a lone stalk was in fact a pair of legs that had simply been held close together. The creature creeped toward the niche and rounded up the sparkling items. It looked around once more to make sure it was not being watched. This time, I caught a faint glimpse of two small, dark eyes on the cap of the giant fungus. Then it did something wholly unexpected. It sprang forward, darting out of the hallway with remarkable speed!		\| I had thought that I was looking at a large mushroom cap sitting atop a lone stalk.
