Sir, You are wrong. The Cheshire cat describes the Hatter as mad in the previous chapter. Enjoyable lecture though.

Fortunately, Queen Victoria was *not* so disappointed with Carroll's "next book" that she shrieked, "Off with his head!"

A wonderful journey through an often unremarked half of a creative genius' fertile mind. Fascinating stuff. As I am devoid of left brain ability, due to the peculiar nature of my personal savantism, I honor all the more those creative talents who can bend their minds to it.
