So now we're inside Dr Manz's room/house/laboratory/whatever. It's very messy. They go to a ballroom filled with just a ton of crap. Hugo asks the good doc to take off the metal cuff that is still attached to his leg. Dr M uses a special saw to cut it, then a robot named NUMBER EIGHT actually bends it back and pulls it off. Then Hugo reminds the doc that he also has the fish bite that needs looking at. Dr Manz stabs it with a knife. Gently, I guess. then gives him two things to drink, whiskey and something yellow. Hugo has to take a sip but make sure not to swallow. Hugo asks where he should spit it out. Dr Manz is not specific but tells him not to spit on any books or papers. I guess we should stay tuned to the exciting conclusion in Chapter 86: Where Hugo Decides To Spit, After Carefully Weighing All The Options.
And might I add there was NOTHING in this chapter about Hugo having to find that lost piece of paper which I thought was the whole point of the story! WTH!
