Were they really? When this thread is crowded it's much harder to keep track of things; so sorry.
But I had this all planned out quite differently. I was going to escape to the master bedroom via the secret passage and lock the door and then rest on the bed while congratulating myself at having escaped your clutches, the thought of having done so greatly improving my mood that I would smile at the thought of your saying, "Curses! Foiled again!" and consider that anyone would be likely to laugh at your looking for the secret passage and not being able to find it, such an entertaining thought that I would giggle at the idea, which would make it seem funnier so I would giggle more and think even funnier things until I began laughing openly, never realizing that you had emerged like Iachimo from the trunk in Cymbeline until suddenly it would occur to me that my laughter surely exceeded the humour of the situation and then I would look down and see what I hadn't realized was happening...
*looks down*
OHhohohohohohohohohohohohohoHO!!!
