Edith thought about Alice's suggestion for a moment. She wasn't too sure about making a stop at the residence of a potentially mad person, but she didn't want to get lost in the woods either.
"We have been wandering around these woods for quite some time," she thought. "Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to rest at this so-called 'Mad Hatter's' home and plan our way out of this world."

Indeed, they had been walking for an uncomfortably long time. Alice was in the process of thinking, but her thoughts were interrupted by Edith.
"Hm?" she asked up to Edith, before quickly recalling what her older sibling just asked. "Oh, yes." The younger sister stopped in her tracks, in order to take a good look at her surroundings. "Now, let's see," she said (mostly to herself). "I seem to remember the Mad Hatter's home..." She had locked her fingers together as she pondered, but she separated them and pointed to a particular area with her right index finger.
"... In that direction." She looked up to Edith and smiled, but almost instantly looked uncertain. "I do hope I won't misguide us."

Edith trusted her younger sister, for Alice knew Wonderland better than she did. Furthermore, Alice had been able to guide her through Wonderland competently enough so far, despite all the misadventures.

Retracing her steps, Alice led her sister through the Tulgey Wood. She more or less felt confident with her sense of direction, although she had to stop once or twice to consider her options. Fortunately for the sisters, Alice had proven herself a worthy navigator; she ultimately recognized a small gate in the distance.
"There it is!" she exclaimed excitedly, pointing to the gate. "Come, Edith!" She walked briskly to the gate and opened it, stepping into the Mad Hatter's property... once again, without an invitation. But the situation was important.

The Liddell sisters approached a large table covered with dishes, teacups, teapots, and all sorts of silverware. The steam produced by the teapots was so great that it practically covered the entire table. Edith looked all the way at the opposite end of the table and saw a short man with a large nose and a top hat. She instantly recognized him as the Mad Hatter that Alice told her about.
"I just hope this fellow is not as 'mad' as his name suggests," Edith thought.

Alice seated herself at a chair next to the nearest end of the long, rectangular table, which was different from the very large, red armchair she chosen whens he was last at this tea-party. As she seated herself, she looked to her older sibling. Alice seemed to recognize the face of uncertainty.
"He is the Mad Hatter," she said as she pointed to the merry little man. "Of course," she said, covering a side of her mouth to whisper, "he does not make sense in the least!"

Alice turned from her whispering position to take a look at the rabbit in question.
"Oh," Alice said as she instantly recognized the rabbit. She turned to face her older sibling and once more whispered loudly to her. "That is the March Hare. He is the Mad Hatter's friend. At least, I presume he is the Mad Hatter's friend... they are always so close together, at all times. They also have the Dormouse. Do you see him yet?"
She turned to look back once more, scanning the table for the Dormouse. Was he sleeping again?

After much hesitation, Edith called out to the wacky pair, "Exuse me, but may we join you?"
The Marge Hare and the Mad Hatter immediately ceased their festivity and turned their attention to the eldest Liddell. They then began to approach her with unhappy expressions on their faces and repeatedly shouted, "No room!"
"Whatever do you mean?" inquired Edith, fearing that she had enraged the duo. "There's plenty of room at this table!"
"But you sat down without being invited!" said the March Hare.
"Very rude indeed!" concurred the Mad Hatter.
At that moment, the Dormouse emerged from one of the teapots and said, "Very very very rude indeed."

Alice smiled as the Mad Hatter and the March Hare responded very emotionally to her older sibling. Not because Alice enjoyed watching Edith be embarrassed, but because she was reminded of her own first meeting with the mad tea-guzzlers. This was very similar to how she met them, too.
"I don't suppose you remember me?" Alice asked both the Mad Hatter and the March Hare. "Either of you?" She then looked to the Dormouse's tea pot.
Re: Against Idleness and Mischief « Reply #55 on Nov 23, 2009, 4:14pm »
The March Hare and the Mad Hatter turned to face Alice. They remained silent for a moment, pondering who this young girl was. Finally, the Mad Hatter, being the absent-minded and nonsensical character that he was, said with a goofy grin on his face, "No, I don't seem to recall you."
"Not in the slightest!" the March Hare said jovially.
"Not in the slightest," the Dormouse repeated before going back to sleep.
Edith could not help but let out a sigh of annoyance. It was then that she realized that communication with the denizens of Wonderland would be near-impossible.

Alice raised her hands in the air, shrugged her shoulders, and chuckled lightly. She wasn't at all surprised, and found the insane tea enthusiasts humorous as always. "Never mind!" said Alice as she shook her head. She gestured to her older sibling as she addressed the Hatter and Hare. "All the same, this is my sister, Edith." She smiled.
Re: Against Idleness and Mischief « Reply #57 on Nov 30, 2009, 2:53pm »
The Mad Hatter and the Marge Hare immediately shifted their attention to the elder Liddell and began shaking her hands.
"How d'ye do?" they repeatedly chirped.
Edith began to feel a little more comfortable now that her sister had calmed the absent-minded duo. She just hoped that the situation wouldn't take another turn for the worse.

Alice casually rested her elbows on the table, and locked her fingers together, resting them under her delicate chin. "How are you feeling today, sirs?" she politely asked the mad duo. Her blue eyes expressed relief to find the tea enthusiasts alive and not beheaded by the Queen of Hearts.
