Hidden in one of the last few places it is possible for you to look.  Solve

To the best of my knowledge, it is useless -- you can certainly solve the
game without it.  It is mostly a booby trap...

Since you haven't got the portrait out of the bank, you probably haven't found
the money yet, either (guess where it is!).  You should be able to get both
out of the bank without ever encountering the gnome, but it takes a lot of
trial and error.  HINT:  The "curtain wall" may not be the only illusion in
the area...

I've been posting these to the net, since when I'm working on a game, I
like to go back and read them, even if I didn't at the time, when I'm
stuck.  If anyone has opinions on the appropriateness of posting these,
please mail them to me -- "If...response...net."
