Monkey Isle help please

[Beyond Delphine]

Ok. Im playing it through again after 6 years collecting dust in a box (the game, not me), and both my memory and gaming skill have failed me!

Monkey island 1.
Three trials.
Done Thievery. Done treasure. Swordfighting, however...
Learned all the insults Im sure there are. Swordmaster not at home. What next? Also. As soon as I got the file out of the cake i took it straight to the governers mansion where i used it and lost it. Should i have set the prisoner free first?

Please dont refer me to a walkthrough. I hate catching a glimpse of something ive not done yet and having it ruined.

Help a poor girl out, eh?

Swordmaster not at home.
Do you mean the trainer? I don't remember Carla ever leaving her spot...

Should i have set the prisoner free first?
Nope, you need something else entirely for that.

[Beyond Delphine]

yes, i meant the trainer. sorry.

[Beyond Delphine]

its ok.
progress is being made now.
just a little memory block after all.

Maybe there's something in the woods that can move. ;)
