The Borrowers

Do not be seen by humans. That's been the law of children of the underfloor. Indenting test. This is only a test, do not be alarmed.

The Borrowers live in this world, hidden beneath floors, inside clocks, and behind the walls. To survive they borrow from the much larger Human Beans. The first law that that you must not be seen, for the consequences can be most dire.

On average, a borrower will grow to four inches. There are some who live their lives outdoors, contending with wild creatures and foraging for their worldly goods. Others live amongst the Human Bean and borrow. The second law is to borrow, never steal. Borrowers are not thieves or vermin. They are quiet, conscientious, and and inconspicuous.

The House

Fairfax Hall is an old victorian house set several miles out of town in the countryside. A beautiful old house, it is slightly run down and can boast of several good points. That the barn is even more run down than the house is, no termites, and a large tortoise that lives in the pond. There is a large library, no television, and a porch which runs all the way around the house.

The Yard

The lawns have shrunk as of late, the groundskeeper cannot keep up with the work as his age catches up on him. The pond dries to nearly empty in the summer and has a wooden bridge which crosses it. Several flower beds are close to the house, one of the more tended spots in the lawn.

The Family

The primary resident of Fairfax is Old Mrs. Fairfax, a widow. She keeps two servants and a gardener. In the summers, her grandson comes to visit.
