From some distant point to the rear I heard Random sohuting, "B-twelve! B-twelve! And out!"
… And then I couldn't recall what the problem had been. It seemeed a wonderful place. Silly of me to have mistaken the mushrooms for umbrellas, though …
I put my own foot up on the rail as the Hatter poured me a drink and topped off Luke's. Luke gestured to his left and the March Hare got a refill, too. Humpty was fine, balanced there near the end of things. Tweeedledum, Tweedledee, and the Dodo and the Frog Footman kept the music moving. And the Catterpillar just kept puffing away.
Luke clapped me on the shoulder, and there was something I wanted to remember, but it kept slipping out of the sight.
"I'm okay now," Luke said. "Everything's okay."
"No, there's something. … I can't recall … ."
He raised his tankard, clanked it against my own. "Enjoy!" he said. "Life is a cabaret, old chum!"
The cat on the stool beside me just kept grinning. |
