END_ROOM 2
ROOM_DESCR 2 -- Drawing Room
You are standing on the west side of the fireplace in the drawing room of
your house. The chairs here are made of nicely polished wood, and the mantle
over the hearth is very well kept up. Everything, in fact, is exactly as it
should be. The sun is shining, birds are singing, and you feel that today of
all days, nothing could possibly go wrong.

ROOM_DESCR 3 -- Drawing Room
You are standing on the east side of the fireplace in the drawing room of your
house. The sun is shining in through all of the windows, even through the
little stained-glass window in the southern door. Once again, you feel that
everything is as it should be. You can't decide, however, whether to go out
and play or to prepare for your Mathematics lessons.

END_ROOM 4
ROOM_DESCR 4 -- Drawing Room
You are standing in front of the fireplace in the drawing room of your house.
The sun is shining brightly, the birds are singing gaily, and all is right
with the world. "Could there possibly be" you think "a better day to go out
and play and forget about Mathematics?"

END_ROOM 5
ROOM_DESCR 5 -- Drawing Room
You are sitting down in front of the fireplace in the drawing room of your
house. You feel as if you've fallen. "But" you think "that is ridiculous.
One must have been up somewhere to have fallen down, and as I've not been up I
can't possibly have fallen down." You think that this is good logic, but still
make a mental note to ask you mathematics tutor, Mr. Dodgson, about it.
Suddenly you notice that the southern door (the one with the lovely little
stained-glass window in it) is open.

END_ROOM 6
ROOM_DESCR 6 -- Bedroom
You are in your bedroom. Your bed is made (and quite nicely, thank you). On
your desk you see your mathematics texts, open to your latest lesson. You
suddenly realize that you haven't studied at all well, and are likely to fail
whatever test your tutor (the eminent Mr. Dodgson) will be putting before you
when he arrives. You fear that your parents will be most displeased and that

Nanny is shocked at your impertinence! She picks you up and takes you

END_ROOM 7
ROOM_DESCR 7 -- Alcove
You are standing in an alcove. To the south is the west side of the drawing
room. Your father says that standing in this alcove puts you exactly north of
the west side of the fireplace. You think you understand what he means, but
have never really taken the time to ask.

The yarn untangles easily....perhaps a bit too easily.

Garden

END_ROOM 8
ROOM_DESCR 8 -- Garden
You are in the garden. The sunlight out here lends a radiance to all of the
flowers and plants. Even the forest on both sides of the garden is.....
"Wait," you think. "There never used to be a forest on the east and west sides
of the garden. In fact I'm quite sure that the Finchley-Smythes lived to the
east of us, and the Hatton-Carrolls to the west. Hmmm..." Stranger still is
the fact that there is a wall to the south where you could've sworn there was
a path down to the river.

ROOM_DESCR 9 -- Denser Forest
The forest is even denser here. You think perhaps you should turn around and
go back to the garden. Suddenly you realize the solution to a mathematics
problem that has been eluding you for days.

ROOM 10
Thick Forest
South 11 - Tea Party
West 8 - Garden
END_ROOM 10
ROOM_DESCR 10 -- Thick Forest
The forest is very thick here and doesn't look particularly inviting. Perhaps
you should go back to the house to study your mathematics texts and forget all
about exploration. To the south there seems to be a clearing.

ROOM_DESCR 11 -- Tea Party
You seem to have blundered into a party of some sort. Directly in front of you
is a crazed-looking man wearing a ridiculously oversized hat (to which the
price tag is still affixed). To your left (that's east) there is a large
rabbit drinking tea. You know that rabbits don't usually drink tea, so you
suspect that there might be something amiss here. Between the two is a table
filled with sweets and various other goodies. Most of these goodies have
small signs on them that say "Not For Local Consumption". To the west you
see six little brooks.

ROOM_DESCR 12 -- Tea Party
Well, well.....I see you've decided to mingle at this party. In front of you
is one of your hosts, a large furry fellow who bears an unfortunate resemblance
to a hare. You decide to be the soul of tact and not mention this. You look
around you and see that there is another clearing to the south.

END_ROOM 13
ROOM_DESCR 13 -- Brook Crossing
You seem to have stumbled upon a little brook in the forest. Removing your
shoes, you jump over the brook (being very careful not to get wet). To the
south is another clearing.

END_ROOM 14
ROOM_DESCR 14 -- Beach
You are now on a sandy beach that stretches to the south as far as your eye can
see. (Admittedly, you aren't very tall, and can't see much, but take my word
for it; it stretches a long way).

ROOM_DESCR 16 -- Croquet Game
There is a croquet game in progress here. The queen and king are taking turns
hitting a ball (or is it a ball?) through the wickets. Ah, croquet....the
sport of kings (or is that the sport of archdukes? Oh, well, no matter).
It looks like fun...perhaps you may want to join in. Perhaps....but perhaps
you want to proceed west, where you see two people resting in a shady grove.

END_ROOM 17
ROOM_DESCR 17 -- Shady Grove
The Red King is lying here taking his afternoon nap. You remember that there
was a question you wanted to ask, but feel it would be marvelously rude to
wake him. "And best not wake him," says the King's messenger (who bears an
uncanny resemblance to the Hatter), "for he's dreaming." "And what," you ask,
"could he be dreaming about?" "Why, my dear" says the messenger, ever the soul
of politeness and grace "for all I know, he may be dreaming us. So you see, if
he were to wake up, his dream would be over, and so might we." You think this
is the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard, but choose not to contradict so
gracious a gentleman. The King's messenger then trots off to the South,
leaving you utterly bewildered.
