Deliah stared out the window, they were in a Carriage, a women who took care of them told them they had to ride in a carriage to the asylum. Delilah sighed and stared out of the window, she had a bouquet of flowers in her hand, she placed some in her hair, the asylum wasn't that nice to her, she closed her eyes and sighed again. Beside her was her sister sleeping with her head back and Henry in her arms. Delilah looked over at Dinah. Dinah was sleeping peacefully. Delilah reached down towards the floor of the carriage and grabbed her bag, in her bag she rustled around and grabbed Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. She opened the book and took out her velvet rope that took her place in her book, "Chapter 5" She said. The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each
other for some time in silence: at last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth, and
addressed her in a languid, sleepy voice.
`Who are you?' said the Caterpillar.
This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, `I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.'
`What do you mean by that?' said the Caterpillar sternly. `Explain yourself!'
`I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, sir' said Alice, `because I'm not myself, you see.'
Delilah read, her sister slowly snoring. In front of her was the women who was taking care of them. "Delilah, we are almost there." Delilah looked up and cringed in her seat, she felt a strong whip of pain on her back, and in a way she felt that Dinah felt it too. In about a minute or two they were at the asylum, Delilah saw a women and a carriage man, Delilah decided to take the extreme. She shook her sister's arm. "Watch" Delilah said. Delilah waited for the right moment and the carriage slowed down. Delilah slightly opened the door and stuck a foot out, she reached down and then jumped. She felt no pain as she fell to the ground. She landed with a thump and sat up, she looked around and put her rope in her book and she closed it, she would be in trouble but hey, she wanted to have fun. The woman gasped as she jumped out. The carriage stopped and the woman popped her head out, "DELILAH!" She yelled in a stern voice. She came out and grabbed Delilah ruffly by the arm, "What was that?" she asked, Delilah stared behind the woman at her sister who was staring with sad eyes, beside her sister was Lina, who sat there blinking her eyes.
