“Well?” asks the shadow, holding out his arm. Perhaps she is lonelier than she would say. Perhaps an enemy’s company is still better than none

When he speaks again, his voice is still his voice, but she can hear her own, echoing through it. “You can have my life when I am done with it. You can have my soul when I don’t want it anymore.” She draws back, from the words, from him, or tries to, but this time he does not let her. The hand on her arm tightens; the other rests like a lover’s touch behind her neck. “Was it not in my best interest, then, to make your life unpleasant? To press you toward your inevitable surrender?”

She stands there until she realizes she is waiting. Waiting for someone to help. To come and fix the mess she’s in. But no one is coming. No one remembers, and if she resigns herself to waiting, she will wait forever. So she walks.

How do you walk to the end of the world? she once asked. And when Addie didn’t know, the old woman smiled that wrinkled grin, and answered. One step at a time.

I love how it reads "three and twenty" here instead of the modern "twenty three".

I really enjoyed reading this book. For some of the poems I could easily see where they came from and that made me smile. Several references to the original books also brought me a bright smile. I think that the book is quite good, though of course it could have been even better. At some points it feels a little bit serious. I am not sure whether Carroll would be content with this book, I think he might be, but he would surely have a list with things that could be better. Carroll was quite perfectionist...
