Fred stuffs himself

Forty-five minutes later, Fred has managed to wolf down:

Three boxes of Maryland cookies
Two tubs of Ben & Jerry's (Cherry Garcia and Phish Phood)
Two tins of Spam
Six large free- range eggs (raw)
a box of Chicken Wings
four bagels with pastrami and cream cheese
and a one pound bag of cornflour.

While Fred feels very full he has no intention of stopping eating until he is completely stuffed. He has all but finished a packet of some chip-type snack when he realises he feels rather . . .strange. He looks at the packet to see what he is eating.

The label simply says: "COUCH POTATOES"

Fred looks down with horror to see that his legs are now covered in chintz and have joined together. His feet are now two round stumps of wood. He feels his back stiffen and his body begin to widen dramatically. His arms and his face start to shrink . . .

Ten minutes later, there is an extra sofa in the Staircase Room.

1. Some time later, a young Chinese-American man is in the room. He starts rooting around down the back of Fre... ah, the new sofa
2. Sofa-Fred hits on the attractive red leather couch over in the far corner
