Maddie and Beth stood in their Grandmother's bathroom.

"Who said that" Maddie worryingly asked.

"Not sure." Replied Beth. "Who are you?"

I'm the Narrator, you're Highnesses.

"The Narrator?" asked Maddie.

"I remember reading about Narrators in the Royal Library." Said Beth, "No one's supposed to hear you."

Yes, well, there's an exception. If a Wonderlandian eats Narra Dragon fruit, they can hear Narrators, but only temporary, unless a special potion is made.

"What kind of potion?" asked Maddie.

It should be described in that Narration book Beth read.

"Really? But, I forgot the title." Confessed Beth.

"How's that a confession?" asked Maddie.

Not sure, but I didn't want to overuse the word, "said". It's one of the first things you're taught in Narration School.

"Really?" asked Maddie.

Yes. Now Beth, the book is titled, "The Big Book of Narration." Now you two better get back to Tea before people start to worry.

"Ok, Narrator!" said the Princess at once, then they went back to Tea.


Maddie and Beth were saying farewell to the noble guests who had attended the no longer boring Tea. The cosines were enjoying the fact that they could now hear Narrators and couldn't wait to go home to make the potion that would make the Narra Dragon fruit's effect permanent.

"I hope that your Highnesses are grateful for your status." Said Dame Magadot.

"Why yes, Your Grace. My cosine and I are most grateful." Said Maddie, trying to sound as polite and proper as possible.

"I'm glad." Said the Dame, "Farewell." She curtsied, then left with her sister.

"Do you think she was acting odd?" whispered Beth to Maddie.

"Maybe. It's hard to tell." Maddie whispered back, "What's strange here is normal in Wonderland."

As Maddie and Beth talked about the apparent strangeness of Lady and Dame Magadot, they were unaware that their Grandma was trying to eavesdrop.

Beth turned her head. She was looking for her Grandma. "We should continue our PRIVET conversation, somewhere else, Maddie."

"I agree, Beth." Agreed Maddie, "And, do you remember Grandmother telling us HOW RUDE IT IS TO EAVESDROP?"

"Why yes, I do." Said Beth. "Shall we go to our room?"

"Yes, cosine dear." Answered Maddie. And the two went upstairs to their London room.


"Can you believe grandmother?" asked Maddie, who was sitting on her bed.

"Aunt Alice was right." Beth said, "Londoners are mainly hypocrites."

"Yeah, especially the wealthy ones." Said Maddie.

"They tell us, to be polite, and not spy and gossip, for, it's rude, but they do it themselves!" exclaimed Beth.

"I find it very useless for people to tell others to always act a certain way, when they do it all the time!" exclaimed Maddie, "I mean, if you're a gossiper, then why tell others not to gossip?"

"I know," replied Beth, "if you don't want to be gossiped about, then, don't gossip about others."
