*smiles a little, uncertainly* Is something wrong? I've not seen you in forever.

*wrinkles her nose a little* I'm still Alice, aren't I?

Almost, almost he smiles. "Are you?"

I don't think I've been changed for Mabel.

*pauses* It wasn't dressed at all.

Again the difficult smile. "Frogs seldom are."

Oh, why, that's what I used to think, too! It's awfully queer to think about, isn't it?
