The “Adventures in Wonderland” Plot
In August of 1893, a larger than usual white rabbit wearing a rather dapper vest and holding a pocket watch was seen hurrying through the Midway Plaisance of the Chicago Exposition. The rabbit yelled in a timid voice, “I’m late! I’m late!” and looking back over his shoulder in fear, added “As in, I am the late White Rabbit if it gets me!” On lookers turned to see what was chasing the rabbit, but saw nothing; they did, however, hear the deafening roar of an unknown beast.
Elsewhere in the Midway Plaisance, a girl by the name of Alice was amused by her infinite reflections in the hall of mirrors. Her joy, however, was startled away when from outside the hall she heard the roar of the unseen beast. Her shock grew as the mirrors before her cracked in all directions and her splintered reflections began to transform and move independently; some even changed color! Stepping out from the broken glass, dozens of her replicas entered the room. In moments of confusion, Alice pondered that maybe she was the one to have stepped through the shattered mirror. Each Alice looked at the others with the same bewildered expression on their shared faces, paused for a moment, and then screamed before fleeing in crisscrossing directions, stopping to say “After you,” and “Oh no, after you” before continuing their panicked escapes.
Alice, or at least she still believed herself to be Alice, emerged from the hall and came face to face with the white rabbit. The rabbit breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Oh thank goodness I found you Alice. We need your help.” The rabbit’s relief, however, soon returned to consternation when he saw dozens of other Alices running out into the Midway, “Oh bother!”
