Art thou Alice

by jasper4eva

Jasper's parents died when he was just 2, so he went to live with his uncle victor. He has the upmost manners and greatest respect for anyone he meets, but every story starts where another end. Victor died, so lets begin. Rubbish summary, better story!

Authors note: Chapters come at demand, and this is a love story by the way.. he does meet Alice. If you would like the story before to be written (there isn't actually one but I could make it) just ask and I will work on it….

Art Thou Alice

Time seems to trudge by when you're confused. I knew the horse and carriage was charging at full speed but it felt like it wasn't moving at all. The orphanage was only 10 minutes away luckily so I didn't have to wait too long. My room will be already set up. Though, I am sharing with the most elegant little girl named Alice I still feel it rude to intrude her sanctuary. Oh how I long to be at home with dearest uncle Victor and Rover. Poor Rover. He was my dog, a Labrador pedigree I believe. He was old I must grant, but still, to perish in a fire with Uncle Victor need not of been pleasant for him. Then the soothing sound of horse hoofs hitting the floor stopped. I turned my head to see Alice peering in the window… I had never seen her face to face before. She smiled when I looked up and open the carriage door for me.

"There is no need for you to do that," I said " A woman should not labour herself"

She looked up at me confused and shrugged. I was shocked, what manners does this place teach, whatever they may be they must be appalling!

"Hurry up Jasper, Cooks making tea!" She shouted running into the large building. I was about to correct her but then realised how rude it was to correct a stranger. Alice's personality was so… uplifting. I liked it
