What volcano?
Blew so strong it lifted me to my feet.
Volcano fiddlesticks! (she knocks him down) There. Now mind you
get up the regular way - don’t get blown up.
Oh, you silly King! I’d better pick you up again. (Does so)
Aaaah! There it goes again!
If I’d seen it with someone else’s eyes, I’d never have believed it!
I assure you, my dear, I turned cold to the end of my whiskers.
You haven’t got any whiskers.
The horror of that moment I shall never, never forget.
You will unless you write it down.
True. We must record it in the Court Archives. Come, my dear. (Both
exit)
Come back! Oh dear, I don’t think they can see me either. (There is a
loud snore from the jumble corner) That sounded like a snore.
(Another snore) Yes, and it came from the Jumble Corner. I wonder
who it is...(shouts)...HELLO! (There is a spluttering, waking-up
sound and the white knight emerges) Goodness, who are you?
You see before you the White Knight, gentleman eccentric, faller-off of
horses, and inventor extraordinary.
I remember now. You fell out of my chess set into my Jumble Corner.
I don’t know what you’re talking about, child. This is my Inventorium.
Here I live and here I invent. Now this...(moving to a strange Emmettlike
contraption)...is a really useful invention. It’s an indoor lighthouse.
You observe - a bucket with a hole in one side, and a long wooden
handle. I place a lighted candle inside the bucket and run round and
round with it. Now I can rest easy knowing that shipping is safe in my
living room.
And this (indicating box) is my latest. I call it my Dream Box because
it shows you your dreams, so you can remember them.
But wait, child. Something here is not quite right - ah, yes, my scientific
eye has spotted it straight away. You’re the wrong way round.
Oh dear: I don’t feel the wrong way round at all, but if I’m in Looking-
Glass Land, then I’m sure I must be. What can I do about it?
Let’s see. Well, for a start, you’ll have to have your feet changed
over...like this. (crosses his legs, Alice does the same)Then, of
course, your thumbs need to point the opposite way. (Alice gets her
hands in a tangle) How about your ears? Can you change them over?
