It was a strange looking scene in the Dutchess's kitchen...There was Who, sitting on the Table with at his big owl feet two little worms..
Miss Moussie had sat herself down on her thimble...it was always standing ready for her next to the teapot warmer,and Gustave found a lovely seat close to the Dutchess...at the rim of her now empty cocoa cup.
The worms continued there story..
-Dear Dutchess said Alice....when was the last time you visited your library..I ask you this because there's SO many dust on all of the books...you wouldn;t believe !...WE...the bookworms who live there are having some serious allergy problems...we can not stop sneezing....
-And don't forget to mention the darkness...there hasn;t been any light coming into MY book for ages....said the Monster...
-We need the light dearest Dutchess...its not possible for any living being to live in darkness all of the time...we don't know when its day or night...I can't see if the roses are white or red in MY book...sighed Alice..and this could bring some characters of my story in big problems..
-I'm sorry to say that there are worms who have left this building searching for a lighter and brighter place...we surtenly need this at this time of year...and after saying this Monster took a deep breath...He looked very sad....He knew where living in darkness could lead to...
-I understand...twittered Miss Moussie..it is the season of light...I would be sad too when I had to spend it in darkness...Tell me..are there more worms wandering around on the Hilltop searching for a brighter place...
-O my goodness...I feel very bad....Dear Alice..and dear Monster you are trying to tell me that I've neglected you...and you are so right..I haven't been in the library for months...the Dutchess said this whilst searching for her handkerchief...she had tears in her eyes...
-Don't cry my sweet lady...croaked Gustave..and he helped to pull out a handkerchief out of the Dutchess's sleeve...please don't cry...You couldn't help it..you have been ever so busy....writing and drawing...
-Yes yes...AND spending to much time at my computer...sniffled the Dutchess...I didn't read a book for ......I don't even know when I last read a book...a she blew her nose..very loud!!
-You know...whispered Alice,while she crawled close to the Dutchess to look her in the eye..you know, we even thought of choosing the dark side..and become a VIRUS!
People are not reading books anymore...we worry all the books could disappear in time so we were thinking to go in the computer business...and sabotage the system...we even had a name for our virus....The Trojan Horse...I believe some worms all over the world are already very busy doing so...
-O MY GOODNESS..twittered Miss Moussie...you can not do that...a virus is very dangerous and is not to be trusted...please tell us how we can help....before this gets out of control...?
For a moment there they were all thinking what to do....when a knock and muffled sound came from....the refrigerator....
-COMMmmminannnnknooowmebrrrtmn.....
-Curiouser and curiouser said Alice.....there's someone at the fridge door....

AND THE PLOT THICKENS!!! And you will be leaving soon and we shall be sitting on pins and needles and thimbles and limbs WAITING FOR OUR DEAR DUTCHESS TO RETURN TO FINISH!!! Oh dearest, BOOKS....BOOKS ARE OUR FRIENDS! Let's see what comes out of that refrigerator! Maybe it is someone from Minnesota, the ICE BOX CAPITAL OF THE USA!!!
HUGS TO YOU AND I WISH YOU GREAT JOY during your time off...Nita
My goodness, I am frustrated. I have been visiting your blog every few days since November and the post were not showing up...perhaps the worms were up to some worm holes...and then all of a sudden, I come here tonight and there are many post that I have missed. I must read and read and read...the book!
You captivate the very heart of imagination!
