Ugh.  Suggested refactoring (and what's with The Carriage House?):

The following Locations exist:

  A. The Lancaster Room
  B. The Trophy Room
  C. The Drawing Room
  D. The Foyer
  E. The Library
  F. The Patio
  G. The Piazza
  H. The Hedge Maze
  I. The Winter Garden
  J. The Kitchen
  K. The Wine Cellar
  L. The Dining Hall
  M. The Main Hall
  N. Small Hall 22
  O. Small Hall 21
  P. The Master Suite
  Q. The Armory
  R. The Servants' Quarters
  S. The White Room
  T. The Greenhouse
  U. The Nursery
  V. The Lilac Room
  W. The Tennessee Room
  X. The Billiard Room
  Y. The Sitting Room
  Z. The Parlor
  *. The Carriage House

Passages and Peepholes are ordered pairs of Locations defined as such
by the rules.  Neither of these is necessarily symmetric.

A player who is otherwise allowed to change their Location can change
their Location to a specific value if and only if their old and new
Locations (in that order) are a Passage.

A player cannot Commit Attempted Murder if eir Location and any other
player's Location (in that order) are a Peephole.

The following Passages and Peepholes exist:

  Both                                 Passage only     Peephole only

The above notwithstanding, only the Victim can change eir Location from
the Trophy Room to the Drawing Room i.e. (B,C).

When a new player joins the game, eir Location is automatically set to
the Foyer.

Players in the following Locations cannot gain Failure by announcement,
rules to the contrary notwithstanding:

  F. The Patio
  N. Small Hall 22
  O. Small Hall 21
