Chapter Keyhole

The keyhole is a part of the celldoor. It is by the door. The description is "There's a tiny keyhole in the cell door[if the cell is dark] where from a faint beam of light enters the cell[end if]. Too bad you don't have the key."

Understand "lock" and "key hole" as the keyhole.

Instead of looking under the keyhole:
    say "There's nothing under it but the door."
    
Instead of looking through the keyhole:
    if the guard is in the cell:
        say "You can't see anything through the keyhole. The guard's in the way.";
    otherwise:
        say "Through the keyhole you see a small part of the corridor behind the door. Sweet freedom!";

Instead of locking the keyhole with:
    say "The idea would be to [italic type]unlock[roman type] it.".
    
Instead of unlocking the keyhole with:
    say "That's not something that you could use to pick the lock. Not that you knew how even with a real set of lockpicks."

Understand "pick [keyhole] with [something]" as unlocking it with.
