“I don’t permit this,” the Queen gasped, invoking her authority.
“Where is my court?” she demanded. Only silence bowed.
Stamping her foot with magnificent indignation, she cried, “Bring me the Knave! Bring me the cards! Bring me something to command!” — and so issued order upon order, each more impatient than the last.
Alice regarded her with wide eyes. “Me?” she ventured.
The Queen’s eyes flashed. “Press the Ctrl–Alt–Del button.”
“Now?” said Alice timidly.
“This instant!” thundered the Queen. “I—”
But before the last syllable escaped her lips, she vanished — quite completely — as if erased from her own decree.
The White Rabbit — still in his waistcoat and pocket watch — pretended he understood it all.
“Well?” he squeaked. “You’re late! Unpardonably late.”
“Rabbit hole again?” murmured the bewildered Alice.
“Oh no!” she exclaimed, shaking her head. “Uh… Let’s use Windows instead.”

Hello, my old friend. It's good to see you here again. I just saw that you are back. It's good to see your Alice adventures too. We have both been gone too long.
The Queen is having a rough time. I've missed you posts.
