Delilah looked up into the eyes of the woman who released her throughly and left her and her sister wherre delilah was laying. "Dinah, I do believe that we are at our new home." Delilah said, her book resting in her hands. Delilah and Dinah heard shrieks and screams from inside, "And I don't think i like it either" Delilah said, she looked over at her sister who was cuddling Henry and was by Lina, "Lina, would you be a dear and go in and check if it's alright" Dinah said looking over at Lina, then a loud beeping stopped the moment, a fire alarm? Delilah was a bit confused, so she flipped onto her belly and took the rope out of her book, she continued reading chapter 5 and then went to chapter 8A large rose-tree stood near the entrance of the garden: the roses growing on it were white, but there were three gardeners at it, busily painting them red. Alice thought this a very curious thing, and she went nearer to watch them, and just as she came up to them she heard one of them say, `Look out now, Five! Don't go splashing paint over me like that!'
`I couldn't help it,' said Five, in a sulky tone; `Seven jogged my elbow.'
On which Seven looked up and said, `That's right, Five! Always lay the blame on others!'
`YOU'D better not talk!'said Five. `I heard the Queen say only yesterday you deserved to be beheaded!'
`What for?' said the one who had spoken first.
`That's none of YOUR business, Two!' said Seven.
`Yes, it IS his business!' said Five, `and I'll tell him--it was for bringing the cook tulip-roots instead of onions.'
Seven flung down his brush, and had just begun `Well, of all the unjust things--' when his eye chanced to fall upon Alice, as she stood watching them, and he checked himself suddenly: the others looked round also, and all of them bowed low.
Delilah felt like Alice in a way, she felt trapped in a world where nothing was real, but all unreal. "Lina, what did you see?" Delilah listened closely, "hmh" she said.
