ROOM 2 Drawing Room North 7 - Alcove East 3 - Drawing Room Special 7 - Alcove Key 201 END_ROOM 2 ROOM_DESCR 2 -- Drawing Room You are standing on the west side of the fireplace in the drawing room of your house. The chairs here are made of nicely polished wood, and the mantle over the hearth is very well kept up. Everything, in fact, is exactly as it should be. The sun is shining, birds are singing, and you feel that today of all days, nothing could possibly go wrong. END_ROOM_DESCR 2 ROOM 3 Drawing Room West 2 - Drawing Room Special 4 - Drawing Room Key 202 END_ROOM 3 ROOM_DESCR 3 -- Drawing Room You are standing on the east side of the fireplace in the drawing room of your house. The sun is shining in through all of the windows, even through the little stained-glass window in the southern door. Once again, you feel that everything is as it should be. You can't decide, however, whether to go out and play or to prepare for your Mathematics lessons. END_ROOM_DESCR 3 ROOM 4 Drawing Room Special 5 - Drawing Room Key 203 END_ROOM 4 ROOM_DESCR 4 -- Drawing Room You are standing in front of the fireplace in the drawing room of your house. The sun is shining brightly, the birds are singing gaily, and all is right with the world. "Could there possibly be" you think "a better day to go out and play and forget about Mathematics?" END_ROOM_DESCR 4 SPECIAL 4 You turn the hands of the clock..... END_SPECIAL 4 ROOM 5 Drawing Room South 8 - Garden END_ROOM 5 ROOM_DESCR 5 -- Drawing Room You are sitting down in front of the fireplace in the drawing room of your house. You feel as if you've fallen. "But" you think "that is ridiculous. One must have been up somewhere to have fallen down, and as I've not been up I can't possibly have fallen down." You think that this is good logic, but still make a mental note to ask you mathematics tutor, Mr. Dodgson, about it. Suddenly you notice that the southern door (the one with the lovely little stained-glass window in it) is open. END_ROOM_DESCR 5 SPECIAL 5 The mirror is sticky to the touch. END_SPECIAL 5 ROOM 6 Bedroom Game_End END_ROOM 6 ROOM_DESCR 6 -- Bedroom You are in your bedroom. Your bed is made (and quite nicely, thank you). On your desk you see your mathematics texts, open to your latest lesson. You suddenly realize that you haven't studied at all well, and are likely to fail whatever test your tutor (the eminent Mr. Dodgson) will be putting before you when he arrives. You fear that your parents will be most displeased and that END_ROOM_DESCR 6 SPECIAL 6 Nanny is shocked at your impertinence! She picks you up and takes you upstairs. END_SPECIAL 6 ROOM 7 Alcove South 2 - Drawing Room Special 6 - Bedroom Key 207 END_ROOM 7 ROOM_DESCR 7 -- Alcove You are standing in an alcove. To the south is the west side of the drawing room. Your father says that standing in this alcove puts you exactly north of the west side of the fireplace. You think you understand what he means, but have never really taken the time to ask. END_ROOM_DESCR 7 SPECIAL 7 The yarn untangles easily....perhaps a bit too easily. END_SPECIAL 7 ROOM 8 Garden North 5 - Drawing Room East 10 - Thick Forest West 35 - Dense Forest END_ROOM 8 ROOM_DESCR 8 -- Garden You are in the garden. The sunlight out here lends a radiance to all of the flowers and plants. Even the forest on both sides of the garden is..... "Wait," you think. "There never used to be a forest on the east and west sides of the garden. In fact I'm quite sure that the Finchley-Smythes lived to the east of us, and the Hatton-Carrolls to the west. Hmmm..." Stranger still is the fact that there is a wall to the south where you could've sworn there was a path down to the river. END_ROOM_DESCR 8 ROOM 9 Denser Forest East 35 - Dense Forest Points 12 END_ROOM 9 ROOM_DESCR 9 -- Denser Forest The forest is even denser here. You think perhaps you should turn around and go back to the garden. Suddenly you realize the solution to a mathematics problem that has been eluding you for days. END_ROOM_DESCR 9 ROOM 10 Thick Forest South 11 - Tea Party West 8 - Garden END_ROOM 10 ROOM_DESCR 10 -- Thick Forest The forest is very thick here and doesn't look particularly inviting. Perhaps you should go back to the house to study your mathematics texts and forget all about exploration. To the south there seems to be a clearing. END_ROOM_DESCR 10 ROOM 11 Tea Party North 10 - Thick Forest East 12 - Tea Party West 13 - Brook Crossing END_ROOM 11 ROOM_DESCR 11 -- Tea Party You seem to have blundered into a party of some sort. Directly in front of you is a crazed-looking man wearing a ridiculously oversized hat (to which the price tag is still affixed). To your left (that's east) there is a large rabbit drinking tea. You know that rabbits don't usually drink tea, so you suspect that there might be something amiss here. Between the two is a table filled with sweets and various other goodies. Most of these goodies have small signs on them that say "Not For Local Consumption". To the west you see six little brooks. END_ROOM_DESCR 11 ROOM 12 Tea Party South 14 - Beach West 11 - Tea Party END_ROOM 12 ROOM_DESCR 12 -- Tea Party Well, well.....I see you've decided to mingle at this party. In front of you is one of your hosts, a large furry fellow who bears an unfortunate resemblance to a hare. You decide to be the soul of tact and not mention this. You look around you and see that there is another clearing to the south. END_ROOM_DESCR 12 ROOM 13 Brook Crossing South 17 - Shady Grove East 11 - Tea Party END_ROOM 13 ROOM_DESCR 13 -- Brook Crossing You seem to have stumbled upon a little brook in the forest. Removing your shoes, you jump over the brook (being very careful not to get wet). To the south is another clearing. END_ROOM_DESCR 13 ROOM 14 Beach North 12 - Tea Party South 22 - Sandy Beach END_ROOM 14 ROOM_DESCR 14 -- Beach You are now on a sandy beach that stretches to the south as far as your eye can see. (Admittedly, you aren't very tall, and can't see much, but take my word for it; it stretches a long way). END_ROOM_DESCR 14 ROOM 16 Croquet Game North 22 - Sandy Beach West 37 - Shady Grove END_ROOM 16 ROOM_DESCR 16 -- Croquet Game There is a croquet game in progress here. The queen and king are taking turns hitting a ball (or is it a ball?) through the wickets. Ah, croquet....the sport of kings (or is that the sport of archdukes? Oh, well, no matter). It looks like fun...perhaps you may want to join in. Perhaps....but perhaps you want to proceed west, where you see two people resting in a shady grove. END_ROOM_DESCR 16 ROOM 17 Shady Grove North 13 - Brook Crossing South 23 - Hall East 37 - Shady Grove Special 18 - Morning! Key 220 END_ROOM 17 ROOM_DESCR 17 -- Shady Grove The Red King is lying here taking his afternoon nap. You remember that there was a question you wanted to ask, but feel it would be marvelously rude to wake him. "And best not wake him," says the King's messenger (who bears an uncanny resemblance to the Hatter), "for he's dreaming." "And what," you ask, "could he be dreaming about?" "Why, my dear" says the messenger, ever the soul of politeness and grace "for all I know, he may be dreaming us. So you see, if he were to wake up, his dream would be over, and so might we." You think this is the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard, but choose not to contradict so gracious a gentleman. The King's messenger then trots off to the South, leaving you utterly bewildered. END_ROOM_DESCR 17 ROOM 18 Morning! Game_End END_ROOM 18 ROOM_DESCR 18 -- Morning! ...all good advice to the contrary, you seem to have woken the Red King. As he comes to, you feel yourself fading out, becoming an insignificant speck in a universe or similar specks.... END_ROOM_DESCR 18 SPECIAL 18 The Red King, alarmed at your touch, stirs... END_SPECIAL 18 ROOM 19 Jail North 20 - Wild Party South 21 - Forest Clearing END_ROOM 19 ROOM_DESCR 19 -- Jail My, my....what could this room be? Why, there are bars on the windows and the doors! It looks like a jail! Of course both the north and the south doors are slightly ajar, so it surely can't be much of a jail...if that is, in fact, what it is. You notice that the King's messenger is lying slumped in the corner. He notices you. He gets up, and with a bow, proclaims "Well? Are you going to stand there all day? Hurry up, we'll be late for the Party!" You notice that he is quite disheveled, and you are not at all sure that you would care to attend any party that he was at. He smiles, then spins around three times and rushes out the northern door. END_ROOM_DESCR 19 SPECIAL 19 Don't you know what happens to people who take other people's brooches? Well, you're about to find out.... END_SPECIAL 19 ROOM 20 Wild Party South 19 - Jail Game_End END_ROOM 20 ROOM_DESCR 20 -- Wild Party Why, if this doesn't absolutely take the cake (so to speak). This is perhaps the strangest party you have ever seen! The only attendees besides yourself are the Hatter, the Hare, and a Fieldmouse. The Hatter and the Hare appear to be trying to stuff the Fieldmouse into a teapot. While they are doing this, you notice that there are goodies strewn all over the table; so...you take the cake.....and the jam, and the scones, and the raspberry tarts, and the treacle, and the chocolate pie, and....soon you are so full that you burst! END_ROOM_DESCR 20 ROOM 21 Forest Clearing East 23 - Hall END_ROOM 21 ROOM_DESCR 21 -- Forest Clearing You have entered a clearing in the forest. You decide to sit down and rest when a voice startles you. "Yoo-hoo, dearie," it says, "up here! Yes, you! Look up!" You look up in the tree expecting to see a penguin or something of that sort. You are surprised to see a large Cheshire cat grinning down at you. Since you have never before spoken to a cat (at least not one who spoke back), all you can do is exchange meaningless banter with it. Suddenly the cat begins to fade....and fade.....and fade...until there is nothing left of it but its moon-loony grin. END_ROOM_DESCR 21 ROOM 22 Sandy Beach North 14 - Beach South 16 - Croquet Game END_ROOM 22 ROOM_DESCR 22 -- Sandy Beach The beach seems to stretch on forever. To the south you see a small building illuminated by the rays of the moon. This is odd because it's the middle of the afternoon.

The Red Queen is here. She turns to you and says "My Dear! How very very nice to see you here! You are just in time for your Coronation! Come over here, my dear, and we'll dress you so that you'll be fit to be a Queen!" Of course, she hasn't asked you whether or not you want to be a Queen, but it would be impolite to refuse since she seems to have her heart set on it. Oh, and don't forget to turn to the south to acknowledge the White Queen, as she seems to wish you to notice her. END_ROOM_DESCR 26 SPECIAL 26 The scepter opens the door easily....

You see that she has a new brooch, and this one is firmly pinned to her collar. You curtsy to her. She curtsies back and smiles at you. Outside to the south (through a small stained-glass window in the door) you see a garden - just the thing for a post-Coronation stroll!

All of the small animal cries seem louder than normal. To the west the forest seems to grow denser, and an ominous galumphing sound is emanating from there. END_ROOM_DESCR 35 ROOM 36 Home Game_Win END_ROOM 36 ROOM_DESCR 36 -- Home You are standing on the front steps of your house. The door opens. Mama and Papa step out of the house and almost fall over themselves in their eagerness to hug you. You've been missed.

She seems to have stuck herself on a pin, for she is crying out terribly. It would be presumptuous of you to try and comfort a queen, but it would be rude of you not to. Quite a dilemma for a well-bred person such as yourself.

END_CREATURE_DESCR 312 INTRO You've woken up to a fine, fine morning. The sun shines, the birds sing, and you feel wonderful. Your cat, Dinah, greets you at your bedroom door. You see that her kittens follow her lovingly, and you feel that nothing could be finer than to be greeted by Dinah in the morning. There is, however, a spectre on the horizon. Today is the day for your mathematics lesson. Of course, you could plead illness, but that would ruin your opportunity to go out and enjoy the rest of the day. You get dressed and go downstairs, ruminating on how you could possibly skip your mathematics lesson and still be able to enjoy the rest of the day. "There must be some solution," you think, "some way to elude my tutor and go out to play." If you lived far in the future instead of in A.D. 1865, we would say that you suffered from a malady called "female math anxiety." But as you are only a little girl, and as you DO live in 1865, we can only say that you haven't studied. Ah, well . . . . perhaps there is some way to avoid your imminent academic embarrasment . . .perhaps. Perhaps it's somewhere in the house. END_INTRO
