Emily Short's big frustration:  she kept trying to put the berry in the bowl to 
poison the dog, and getting generic replies about not being able to put 
anything in the bowl.

Honestly, I'm surprised that none of our testers tried this, since it seems 
sort 
of an obvious thing to attempt (in retrospect).

We should remedy by hinting when someone attempts to put things in the 
bowl;  probably specific hints depending on what they're putting in the bowl.  
Hints could come from the parser's response, or perhaps better from Muddy.

Hm. looking at this raised a related problem. The "reaching into another room" 
rule comes early, and that rule is 
what is firing when the players are not in the office. 

Here's an even weirder one: When the player is in the office and says "put 
berry in bowl", and the player does not 
have the berry, the same "you cannot reach into that room from here" message 
prints. This is because the berry 
is on the vine, which is in the jail cell.

This requires additional thinkage.
