*walks in, puffing on his ever-present cigar. Does a quick once over of the room before sitting down by the bar.*

*Taking into Kate's ear over the phone excitedly.*
Kitty, can you play chess? Now, don't smile, my dear, I'm asking seriously. Because, when we were playing just now youwatched just as if you understood it: and when I said 'Check!' you purred! Well, it was a nice check, kitty, and really, I might have won, if it hadn't been for that nasty Knight, that came wiggling down among my pieces. Kitty dear, Let's pretend---Let's Pretend we're kings and queens. Let's pretend that you're the Red Queen, Kitty! Do you know, I think if you sat up and folded your arms, you'd look exactly like her!

*She whispers lightly into the other end of the phone. Tapping can be heard against glass.*
Now, if you'll only attend, Kitty, and not talk so much, I'll tell you all my ideas about Looking-Glass House.
*Tap tap tap. The tapping echos in Kate's ear as she also hears it in the Bistro.*
How would you like to live in Looking-glass House?

*Looks around, trying to locate the source of the tapping.*
Thanks, B but I've got a pretty good set up at the moment.

*Her voice turns pouty even as she continues.*
Oh, Kitty. how nice it would be if we could only get through into Looking-glass house! *Tapping continues from up above. the sky light.* I'm sure it's got, oh! such beautiful things in it! Let's pretend there's a way of getting through into it, somehow, Kitty. Let's pretend the glass has got all soft like gauze,so that we can get through.

*looks up while pouring himself a glass of scotch at the sound of tapping. Grits his teeth, putting his free hand on his gun.*

*The tapping stops.*
It's no us talking about it. I'm not going in again yet. I know I should have to get through the Looking-glass again-and there' be an end of all my adventures!

*Walks a few steps backwards from Kate.*
*She pouts with big sad eyes.* Tell me the truth: did you ever eat a bat?
