What they thought was the door to the nefarious Dr. Whittlestone's lair turned out to be something else entirely.

Clever Jeanette had a plan for persuading the nefarious Dr. Whittlestone to turn over a new leaf.

 

Clever Jeanette attempted to divert the nefarious Dr. Whittlestone's minions, but they proved themselves not as gullible as she had hoped.

Dark Charity fell prey to the nefarious Dr. Whittlestone's diabolical fainting couch.

 

 

Dark Charity and Clever Jeanette were disappointed to find that what they thought was the nefarious Dr. Whittlestone's lair was actually just a photograph of a laboratory taped to the other side of the peephole.  

 

Dark Charity hoped the effects of the nefarious Dr. Whittlestone's Shrink Ray were temporary.

 

 

 

As Clever Jeanette warmed her hands at the stove, she spied what appeared to be the charred remains of the nefarious Dr. Whittlestone's notes.

While the effect was not as elegant as that of the Bronzing Ray, the result of the nefarious Dr. Whittlestone's earlier effort the Plaster Ray was just as unsettling.

 

 

Clever Jeanette was convinced that the nefarious Dr. Whittlestone had hidden directions to his secret lair in one of these books. All she had to do was find it.

 

 

As soon as she saw the plants with pink flowers, Dark Charity knew she had entered the nefarious Dr. Whittlestone's diabolical garden.

Clever Jeanette was alarmed to discover that the nefarious Dr. Whittlestone had disguised his Bronzing Ray as a parasol.

Clever Jeanette's pulse quickened as a discreet peep through the aperture confirmed her suspicion that at long last she had found an entrance to the nefarious Dr. Whittlestone's laboratory.
