[It's late at night. Or, rather, very early in the morning. Helena's woken up from a nightmare, and she's sitting on her bed, looking a bit tired and scared. She glances around the room like she's never been in it before, until the Really Useful Book flutters down and lands on her shoulder. She thinks for a few moments before speaking.]
What is a Jabberwock, anyway? [She puts the question to the book without actually looking at it.] I bet you I could find it. Or you could. [She glances at the Book, then looks past it, at the covered mirror on her wall. She stares at it for a few moments, as though she's considering something in the dark silence of her room.]
[Then she stands and takes a small tray from her bedside table, and pulls off the blanket that covers the mirror. Dipping a finger in the paint on the tray, she uses it to trace words on the mirror.] Has anybody found it yet?
[The Really Useful Book flaps toward her again, from the place on the bed where she had left it. She follows its progress with her eyes.] I know, I know. But the sooner we get rid of it, the sooner they'll go home.
[The feed times out with her sitting on the floor in front of the mirror, in her tan PJ's, and her knees pulled up to her chest.]
