"Long time, no see!" Blurted out Alice after a short and very awkward silence.

"Why, if it isn't repulsive, ignorant Alice. I see you've already sent for Gabriella, I didn't know it would be so soon... Is it really getting that bad? I thought it would be at least a few more months, I haven't seen all that many around." She seemed to forget that I was there and was intent on Alice.

Alice's face remained quite calm, "There's enough,  and either way, the sooner the better,"

"Why bother, I've only spotted two or three sets wondering around my side,"

"Well, we don't want anymore, as I said before, the sooner the better!"

"Oh, I though they were marvellous entertainment, have you seen the likes of the talking donkey, he's hilarious, and that green thug with him, oh, he is funny,"

"So?" Alice retorted, the conversation went on for a while but you needn't hear the rest of it. I had no idea what they were talking about, so I completely zoned out after about the first two points. As they continued to squabble like animals, I wandered off to see if I could find the Cheshire cat again
