The Queen of Hearts had always favored the Hatter, that was no secret among his subjects. Why else would he always make time for him? It was always 5 on the Hatters watch because the Queen said so. When the Queen was sitting in his throne room, surrounded by the female attendents who adored him, even as he touched them, he was wondering if the Hatter would come to see him, looking handsome and sullen as always. Preferably with news of the White Rabbit, and Alice, his precious Alice... and none of the Cheshire Cat. Definitely none of that. But the Hatter had a soft side he only showed the Queen... it was only in that throne room, with only Jack's remaining eye nearby, that he felt sage showing the gentle side. There where no one could see, he could smile a little, at the Queen's haughty, yet loving smirk...

Oh, I'd heard rumors but. Is that how it really is, I wonder?
And while I'm at it- Say. No one's found a quite dandy
outfit lying about recently, have they?
I seem to have misplaced it the other weekend. Shame.
