2 " How's your day?""Weird," he said with a shake of the head. "A flower shushed me today."He huffed a laugh. "You win. "

5 " Wonderful. Mad at home and mad here. Was there nowhere that this Alice was truly sane? "
6 " In Wonderland, the madder something is, the better it works," the Cheshire cat said. "Which is of course, why you fit in very well. "

18 " Hello, Alice," the caterpillar said, his voice deep and rich. "
19 " Why are you, of all people, in baking class?""My family has a thing for tarts, of course.""So I've read. "
20 " Cat," I whispered. "Are you mad?""Yes. But we're all mad here. "
