Alice Liddell was a lot of things. She was a lot of "is"es and "was"es and "is not"s and "was not"s. If asked about what she felt she "was," she would quite happily inform someone that she "is" happy. A simple enough statement certainly with not much depth but vague questions garner any number of responses. If it behooved the questioner to inform her of her rather... lacking answer Alice would then provide a response certainly not expected. She would inform them - quite quickly and as politely as she could (or would like to think as politely as she was able) - that simply asking what she felt she "was" was a terribly vague question and how is she to know if you are simply asking how she felt at that moment or if you wanted something far more in depth? That if you were asking her the first interpretation that it was very kind of you to ask about her health and that it was a bit odd to ask for anything more than a simple "well" or "unwell" or anything of that manner. After all, it wouldn’t be polite for her to tell you her problems (which there were few) or to tell you all of her good fortune. However, if you were asking her the question with the intention of the latter interpretation than it was your very own fault for not being specific on what it was exactly you were looking for. That was simply like asking why a cat purred to which the answer always was "because it pleased him to do so" and then being angry with that answer. No, what should have been asked, Alice would have corrected is to ask "what has made you purr" because then if the cat responded "it pleased me to do so" it was far more telling an answer!
Yes, Alice Liddell was quite a few "is"es and "was"es and "is not"s and "was not"s.
And Alice Liddell was currently lost.
Or... She was rather sure she was lost. And as everyone knows being "rather sure" was not the same as "it is so." Alice would have very much liked to have been an "it is so" at the moment because she hadn’t a wit about where or even when she was. At least if being lost was an "it is so" she could react accordingly. But because she was "rather sure" than she was left contemplating asking for help, staying exactly where she was, or exploring. If she was lost she could do the first or third option without any regard to looking silly.
But she wasn’t.
So that left her wondering where she was as she gazed around the domed city. She have been shoved inside so quickly she hadn’t caught the name. Shout-and-Time? No no, what was it the man had said... Joutenheim? Was that it? What had that person said again? Everything had been such a rush!
It was very rude of them to shove her inside like that! She had tried to introduced herself to them but she had found though that had gotten her nowhere quite quickly since not only were they not answering her, they had shoved her inside with abandon with a strange box in her hand. So then what to do she supposed! She tried not to let worry flutter inside... It was a bit worrisome. Oh, the dome was very pretty, no doubt about that... But... She had just been with Kitty and Dinah. So... How was she here now? Had she fallen asleep again?
"If I stay," she said to herself since no one else was about to ask and she needed to calm herself down, "I could be stuck out here until nightfall and I certainly don’t want that. And even if good things happen at night here, I shan’t chance it in case very bad things happen. If I start walking I should at least arrive somewhere eventually and hopefully arrive near a someone!... Well... At least someone who will answer my questions. Even if it’s a bad someone I shall at least know that much more." Although Alice honestly didn’t know what she even meant by a "bad someone." But she continued to speak aloud to herself. "And if I start walking perhaps I shall find a place to stay until I can actually get my answers! Yes, it’s decided then. I shall not stay here."
And so she began walking.
Oh she did so hope she was following good advice this time.
