END_ROOM 2

ROOM_DESCR 2 -- Drawing Room
You are standing on the west side of the fireplace in the drawing room of
your house. The chairs here are made of nicely polished wood, and the mantle
over the hearth is very well kept up. Everything, in fact, is exactly as it
should be. The sun is shining, birds are singing, and you feel that today of
all days, nothing could possibly go wrong.

END_ROOM 3

ROOM_DESCR 3 -- Drawing Room
You are standing on the east side of the fireplace in the drawing room of your
house. The sun is shining in through all of the windows, even through the
little stained-glass window in the southern door. Once again, you feel that
everything is as it should be. You can't decide, however, whether to go out
and play or to prepare for your Mathematics lessons.

END_ROOM 4

ROOM_DESCR 4 -- Drawing Room
You are standing in front of the fireplace in the drawing room of your house.
The sun is shining brightly, the birds are singing gaily, and all is right
with the world. "Could there possibly be" you think "a better day to go out
and play and forget about Mathematics?"
END_ROOM_DESCR 4


SPECIAL 4
You turn the hands of the clock.....

ROOM 5
Drawing Room
South 8 - Garden
END_ROOM 5

ROOM_DESCR 5 -- Drawing Room
You are sitting down in front of the fireplace in the drawing room of your
house. You feel as if you've fallen. "But" you think "that is ridiculous.
One must have been up somewhere to have fallen down, and as I've not been up I
can't possibly have fallen down." You think that this is good logic, but still
make a mental note to ask you mathematics tutor, Mr. Dodgson, about it.
Suddenly you notice that the southern door (the one with the lovely little
stained-glass window in it) is open.

SPECIAL 5
The mirror is sticky to the touch.

Bedroom

END_ROOM 6

ROOM_DESCR 6 -- Bedroom
You are in your bedroom. Your bed is made (and quite nicely, thank you). On
your desk you see your mathematics texts, open to your latest lesson. You
suddenly realize that you haven't studied at all well, and are likely to fail
whatever test your tutor (the eminent Mr. Dodgson) will be putting before you
when he arrives. You fear that your parents will be most displeased and that

Nanny is shocked at your impertinence! She picks you up and takes you

Key 207
END_ROOM 7

ROOM_DESCR 7 -- Alcove
You are standing in an alcove. To the south is the west side of the drawing
room. Your father says that standing in this alcove puts you exactly north of
the west side of the fireplace. You think you understand what he means, but
have never really taken the time to ask.
END_ROOM_DESCR 7


SPECIAL 7
The yarn untangles easily....perhaps a bit too easily.
END_SPECIAL 7

ROOM 8
Garden
North 5 - Drawing Room
East 10 - Thick Forest
West 35 - Dense Forest
END_ROOM 8

ROOM_DESCR 8 -- Garden
You are in the garden. The sunlight out here lends a radiance to all of the
flowers and plants. Even the forest on both sides of the garden is.....
"Wait," you think. "There never used to be a forest on the east and west sides
of the garden. In fact I'm quite sure that the Finchley-Smythes lived to the
east of us, and the Hatton-Carrolls to the west. Hmmm..." Stranger still is
the fact that there is a wall to the south where you could've sworn there was
a path down to the river.
END_ROOM_DESCR 8


ROOM 9
Denser Forest
East 35 - Dense Forest
Points 12
END_ROOM 9

ROOM_DESCR 9 -- Denser Forest
The forest is even denser here. You think perhaps you should turn around and
go back to the garden. Suddenly you realize the solution to a mathematics
problem that has been eluding you for days.
END_ROOM_DESCR 9


ROOM 10
Thick Forest
South 11 - Tea Party
West 8 - Garden
END_ROOM 10

ROOM_DESCR 10 -- Thick Forest
The forest is very thick here and doesn't look particularly inviting. Perhaps
you should go back to the house to study your mathematics texts and forget all
about exploration. To the south there seems to be a clearing.

ROOM 11
Tea Party
North 10 - Thick Forest
East 12 - Tea Party
West 13 - Brook Crossing
END_ROOM 11

ROOM_DESCR 11 -- Tea Party
You seem to have blundered into a party of some sort. Directly in front of you
is a crazed-looking man wearing a ridiculously oversized hat (to which the
price tag is still affixed). To your left (that's east) there is a large
rabbit drinking tea. You know that rabbits don't usually drink tea, so you
suspect that there might be something amiss here. Between the two is a table
filled with sweets and various other goodies. Most of these goodies have
small signs on them that say "Not For Local Consumption". To the west you
see six little brooks.
END_ROOM_DESCR 11


ROOM 12
Tea Party
South 14 - Beach
West 11 - Tea Party
END_ROOM 12

ROOM_DESCR 12 -- Tea Party
Well, well.....I see you've decided to mingle at this party. In front of you
is one of your hosts, a large furry fellow who bears an unfortunate resemblance
to a hare. You decide to be the soul of tact and not mention this. You look
around you and see that there is another clearing to the south.
END_ROOM_DESCR 12


ROOM 13
Brook Crossing
South 17 - Shady Grove
East 11 - Tea Party
END_ROOM 13

ROOM_DESCR 13 -- Brook Crossing
You seem to have stumbled upon a little brook in the forest. Removing your
shoes, you jump over the brook (being very careful not to get wet). To the
south is another clearing.
END_ROOM_DESCR 13


ROOM 14
Beach
North 12 - Tea Party
South 22 - Sandy Beach
END_ROOM 14

ROOM_DESCR 14 -- Beach
You are now on a sandy beach that stretches to the south as far as your eye can
see. (Admittedly, you aren't very tall, and can't see much, but take my word
for it; it stretches a long way).
END_ROOM_DESCR 14


ROOM 16
Croquet Game
North 22 - Sandy Beach
West 37 - Shady Grove
END_ROOM 16

ROOM_DESCR 16 -- Croquet Game
There is a croquet game in progress here. The queen and king are taking turns
hitting a ball (or is it a ball?) through the wickets. Ah, croquet....the
sport of kings (or is that the sport of archdukes? Oh, well, no matter).
It looks like fun...perhaps you may want to join in. Perhaps....but perhaps
you want to proceed west, where you see two people resting in a shady grove.

Special 18 - Morning!
Key 220
END_ROOM 17

ROOM_DESCR 17 -- Shady Grove
The Red King is lying here taking his afternoon nap. You remember that there
was a question you wanted to ask, but feel it would be marvelously rude to
wake him. "And best not wake him," says the King's messenger (who bears an
uncanny resemblance to the Hatter), "for he's dreaming." "And what," you ask,
"could he be dreaming about?" "Why, my dear" says the messenger, ever the soul
of politeness and grace "for all I know, he may be dreaming us. So you see, if
he were to wake up, his dream would be over, and so might we." You think this
is the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard, but choose not to contradict so
gracious a gentleman. The King's messenger then trots off to the South,
leaving you utterly bewildered.

ROOM_DESCR 18 -- Morning!
...all good advice to the contrary, you seem to have woken the Red King. As
he comes to, you feel yourself fading out, becoming an insignificant speck in
a universe or similar specks....

The Red King, alarmed at your touch, stirs...

ROOM 19
Jail
North 20 - Wild Party
South 21 - Forest Clearing
END_ROOM 19

ROOM_DESCR 19 -- Jail
My, my....what could this room be? Why, there are bars on the windows and the
doors! It looks like a jail! Of course both the north and the south doors are
slightly ajar, so it surely can't be much of a jail...if that is, in fact, what
it is. You notice that the King's messenger is lying slumped in the corner.
He notices you. He gets up, and with a bow, proclaims "Well? Are you going to
stand there all day? Hurry up, we'll be late for the Party!" You notice that
he is quite disheveled, and you are not at all sure that you would care to
attend any party that he was at. He smiles, then spins around three times and
rushes out the northern door.
END_ROOM_DESCR 19


SPECIAL 19
Don't you know what happens to people who take other people's brooches?
Well, you're about to find out....

South 19 - Jail
Game_End
END_ROOM 20

ROOM_DESCR 20 -- Wild Party
Why, if this doesn't absolutely take the cake (so to speak). This is perhaps
the strangest party you have ever seen! The only attendees besides yourself
are the Hatter, the Hare, and a Fieldmouse. The Hatter and the Hare appear to
be trying to stuff the Fieldmouse into a teapot. While they are doing this,
you notice that there are goodies strewn all over the table; so...you take the
cake.....and the jam, and the scones, and the raspberry tarts, and the treacle,
and the chocolate pie, and....soon you are so full that you burst!
END_ROOM_DESCR 20


ROOM 21
Forest Clearing
East 23 - Hall
END_ROOM 21

ROOM_DESCR 21 -- Forest Clearing
You have entered a clearing in the forest. You decide to sit down and rest
when a voice startles you. "Yoo-hoo, dearie," it says, "up here! Yes, you!
Look up!" You look up in the tree expecting to see a penguin or something of
that sort. You are surprised to see a large Cheshire cat grinning down at you.
Since you have never before spoken to a cat (at least not one who spoke back),
all you can do is exchange meaningless banter with it. Suddenly the cat begins
to fade....and fade.....and fade...until there is nothing left of it but its
moon-loony grin.

ROOM 22

North 14 - Beach
South 16 - Croquet Game
END_ROOM 22

ROOM_DESCR 22 -- Sandy Beach
The beach seems to stretch on forever. To the south you see a small building
illuminated by the rays of the moon. This is odd because it's the middle of
the afternoon.

ROOM_DESCR 26 -- Coronation Hall
The well-lit room turns out to be, of all things, a regal looking study. The
Red Queen is here. She turns to you and says "My Dear! How very very nice to
see you here! You are just in time for your Coronation! Come over here, my
dear, and we'll dress you so that you'll be fit to be a Queen!" Of course, she
hasn't asked you whether or not you want to be a Queen, but it would be
impolite to refuse since she seems to have her heart set on it. Oh, and
don't forget to turn to the south to acknowledge the White Queen, as she
seems to wish you to notice her.

The White Queen is also here to aid you in your Coronation. You see that she
has a new brooch, and this one is firmly pinned to her collar. You curtsy to
her. She curtsies back and smiles at you. Outside to the south (through a
small stained-glass window in the door) you see a garden - just the thing
for a post-Coronation stroll!

The white queen is here, fussing over something. She seems to have stuck
herself on a pin, for she is crying out terribly. It would be presumptuous of
you to try and comfort a queen, but it would be rude of you not to. Quite a
dilemma for a well-bred person such as yourself.

INTRO
You've woken up to a fine, fine morning. The sun shines, the birds sing,
and you feel wonderful. Your cat, Dinah, greets you at your bedroom door.
You see that her kittens follow her lovingly, and you feel that nothing could
be finer than to be greeted by Dinah in the morning.
There is, however, a spectre on the horizon. Today is the day for your
mathematics lesson. Of course, you could plead illness, but that would ruin
your opportunity to go out and enjoy the rest of the day. You get dressed and
go downstairs, ruminating on how you could possibly skip your mathematics
lesson and still be able to enjoy the rest of the day. "There must be some
solution," you think, "some way to elude my tutor and go out to play."
If you lived far in the future instead of in A.D. 1865, we would say that you
suffered from a malady called "female math anxiety." But as you are only a
little girl, and as you DO live in 1865, we can only say that you haven't
studied.
Ah, well . . . . perhaps there is some way to avoid your imminent academic
embarrasment . . .perhaps. Perhaps it's somewhere in the house.
