[That makes him frown.] I think it's because they start to worry about different things. Getting a job, having a family, money - things like that. As kids we don't have to worry about stuff like that because we have parents or guardians who do it for us. We still get to dream about what sort of job we want or the family we can have and we can spend money on the things we want instead of the stuff we need.
[Jamie pauses.]
I don't know. But I don't ever want to stop believing either, Alice. And I want to help other people believe in them forever.
Do you think there are guardians for adults? [She should ask Jack and the others, she thinks.] I think... if adults had guardians too, it would be easier for them to remember, to worry less. If adults had guardians as wonderful as ours then they may not think it so strange to hold on to the belief.
We'll protect them, all of them. We can make sure no one says they aren't real.
Mine is a White Rabbit. Quite the skittish dear, always late.
Jack mentioned there was Cupid. [But that was all he said at the time when Jamie questioned him about it.] I don't know if there are others. I guess...it's just harder to believe when people get older.
We should write a book about them. Like, we could ask them to tell us a story about something that happened and we could write it out and put pictures to it for everyone to read.
Never heard of it. [He doesn't know if it's a boy or a girl so he goes with 'it'.]
I'll ask Sandy. He knows better than anyone about the coming and going of such things.
JAMIE! Jamie that is a splendid idea for a book! Ah! But we mustn't tell them! We'll make it a Christmas present! A story of their choosing for each one of them and then make a big book of them for Asgard!
I doubt you would! Mr. Rabbit is only from Wonderland.
[He grins.] Okay. [Then he starts to whisper.] I'll get Jack and Tooth to tell me bedtime stories about things that happened and you can talk to Sandy so they don't get suspicious.
Maybe he'll show up here one day too like your other friend.
He does. He's incredibly clever! And he can disappear and reappear and separate parts of his body from himself. So a grin might linger while the cat is gone.
Dinah is my pet cat back home. She's a beautiful black cat with two kittens and incredibly clever. She can even play chess and is trying to teach it to her kittens.
I won his challenge quite easily, actually! There were several solutions. But we have to teach you the basics if you're going to last more than three moves against him! My highest count is 25 moves.
Well, I'll come to your house. If we play at mine, you might have to face the Doctors, they're quite fond of chess you know. But best to save those matches for when you're a stronger player.

Perfect. Let's plan for it soon! I think Christmas is nearing with this sort of weather!
Well, I would love for the White Rabbit. But Cheshire is whom I want most.
no subject
Then I'll ask one of them to tell me a story tonight. [So they can start working on the book.]
The Cheshire?
no subject
Ah, the Cheshire Cat, actually. Quite an intelligent puss.
