Alice in Wonderland2: Happily Ever After
While in China doing business for Lord Ascot, Alice Kingsleigh had made friends with some of her co-workers. One of them, Peter, had shown her a bookstore, which sold a strange book titled, Excludunt et Housing quia Hare & opifici. Peter, had told her that there was a rumor that if she wrote a letter and put it into a red envelope that was inside, she'd get a mysterious reply.
"Intriguing." Alice replied when she was told, "How much is it?"
"You're not seriously going to buy it are you?" Peter asked in disbelief.
"Yes, you should know by know how curious I am." Alice replied.
"You have your money?" Peter asked.
"Of course." Alice replied, then she bought the book.
That night, she decided to test the rumor. As she read through the book to find the envelope, she discovered that it was a Wonderlandian book. Feeling excited, she eagerly wrote a letter to her friends, telling them everything that had happed to her after she left. Like being in China for a year.
After she had put the scarlet envelope encased letter inside the book, Alice heard a knock on the door. "Miss Alice?" said May, a maid in Lord Ascot's Chinese Mansion.
"Yes, May?"
"Would you like me to do any cleaning before you sleep?"
"No thank you, May. Everything's fine."
"Ok, Miss, goodnight."
After that brief conversation, Alice went to check for a reply. To her joy, she did.
Every night went on like this. Alice would send a letter to her Wonderlandian friends, then she would be sent a reply. Alice told her friends that she needed to spend two weeks after her return to London with her mother, sister and newborn nephew. They understood, but they couldn't wait for her return.
At first, Alice had no idea if she could even get back to Wonderland. She mentioned this in one of her many letters, and was told that the vile of purple Jobberwock blood the White Queen had given her to get back home, could also take her back to Wonderland. Of course, Alice had kept that vile, and made sure not to drink it all. After she had received that letter, she had turned that vile into a necklace, that she kept hidden underneath her dress. She didn't want to show it, for she didn't want to cause stares and questions that would have to be answered.
