Break-In Help

How do I (or where do I) get a light source? I've gotten the prof's
wife out of the phone booth and dialed the phone in the living room but
when I get back in the house and enter the study it's pitch black. Time
seems to stop and the prof never comes back, but I'm out of ideas and
my inventory proves useless. Any help would be much appreciated.

IIRC there has been a new version of Break-In out a couple of years ago,
and the one I finished was an older one. So this may well be out-dated.
With that in mind...

There's somewhere you can enter where you haven't been yet.





It's not inside the house.





An animal doesn't want you to enter; you have to convince it to let you.





You _can_ enter the chicken coop.




There's a torch there, but you have to fool the chicken to get at it.

That did the trick. The real problem was my misunderstanding of what a
'cracker' was; I didn't know you could open them. Thanks.
