Bedroom Balcony
This balcony is atop the orchard, with the tallest of the fruit trees rising to
about the level of the balcony. A metal railing surrounds the balcony,
preventing a precipitous descent. A glass door leading to the master bedroom is
closed.
The top of a ladder is visible here, leaning on the railing.
>OPEN DOOR
The balcony door is now open.
>SOUTH
Master Bedroom
This is the Robners' master bedroom, decorated in the Queen Anne style. A large
four-poster bed with paired end tables fills the south end of the room. On one
of the end tables is a telephone. Dressers, a small chair, and a lounge are
against the walls. The north wall contains a balcony window, which is open. An
open doorway leads east to the bathroom. A large mirror with a gilt frame hangs
on the west wall.
>DROP LADDER
The wooden ladder is now on the floor.
So, as far as the game is concerned, the ladder is still against the balcony in the orchard. The ladder is not described, neither in your inventory nor in room descriptions, because it has NDESCBIT.
Giving the ladder TRYTAKEBIT should work around that.
