The Black Mirror Hints
Where's the key to the grate lock in the secret passage?
1 of 5: Perhaps someone around here has some ideas....
2 of 5: Once again, ask that tomb-robbin' resource Richard.
3 of 5: He'll say that Eleanor keeps the item that might be the grate lock's key in her jewelry box in the mansion's main hall.
4 of 5: He also says you can borrow his key to the mansion's front door, which is good since that door is kept locked at night. (To find the key, wave the mouse cursor very slowly over the top of the table where you got the bottle and acid flask.)
5 of 5: Once you're in the mansion's main hall, find the wooden jewelry box on the table with the mirror (right near the piano) and open it.
