it was a dark colored artifact. a thing that didn't seem material in its very form, a thing that was singular, it didn't have a fixed shape, as soon as you moved it, it took on any shape imaginable. it was a sort of solid puddle, a prism, an irregular diamond, in the light of the sun it took on a flaming red color. only Pandora would know what it was. and above all what was inside

But I'm still STUCK ! in the 1700s, is chopping wood the secret to finally break through to 1800 ?. :). lol

Due to his spindly arms, he had to hire someone to push the wood for him to chop. He found a national master willing to take the job, but this national master could only communicate through Lichess forum posts. Since Lichess hadn't been invented yet, he had no way to tell Abe his name, so Abe just called him @MrPushwood.

Then John Hancock entered.
It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents—except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.[
