pages 8 - 12


She noticed that the rabbit was white so what did that mean about him.
Alice was dismayed and indignant all at once. “Who designed this dress she thundered!!”


When she felt small
she could see the undersides of things she only saw the top of before.


Then along came three power walkers with blonde hair and satiny alice blue headbands. They had yellow tracksuits and clenched fists but they didn’t mean it.
(Married women thought Alice and with the decency not to look up.)



They were glamorous wearing push-up bras even though they already had husbands with jobs. (What’s that about?) At least they weren’t wearing white.


Alice was told never to touch the delicate undersides of mushrooms. That’s where the spores are. Don’t even think about it Alice. It was incredible that nature could make such thin velvety slices and sit them so neatly in formation. It was a circle shape. The circular spots on the tops of the mushrooms signified the poison underneath. The poison in the flesh if you ate it. Colour in nature also signifies poison, the Duchess had once said this in one of her tirades. That you shouldn’t eat anything brightly coloured really. Not even the jaffas on top of cupcakes. Alice’s thoughts had strayed to the lipsticks and the lip glosses with flavours in them strawberry, peach. They were fun to wear but not bright. The brighter colours were for older girls.
