Re: Ninth Floor Hallway
"You needn't be rude if you can't work the riddle." The Hatter rolled his eyes again, then peeled a whole fresh stick of jerky for him and held it out. "Fine, if you don't care to eat where I've already eaten, here's one just for you, greedy kitty. But mind, you're my guest, and you're being rather rude."
Now's not the time for a lesson in manners. The Hare fidgeted beside him. Now's the time to run!
Well, if the Hare was worried enough to not call someone on rudeness... the Hatter offered, "I'll give you an easier one, then. What person can jump higher than a house?"
With the Hare and the Dormouse yelling in his ears, Theo backed away, just a little... he had to pace, anyway. Time's absence decreed it.
