Lewis Carroll's 'Alice in Wonderland' and Through the looking glass'
Lifting the book you notice that it has been read many times and you suspect that the Countess has been craving a fantasy world since she was young...
You open the book and on the inside cover is a quote written in the same spidery writing as the words pinned to the mirror in the library were...
"But I don't want to go among mad people,"
Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat ; "we're all mad here. I'm mad, You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
As you hold the book up a letter fall from between the pages...
It seems to have only been begun as it contains but a few lines...
Do you wish to read what the Countess has written?...
...you set the book down...
