The problem, Petey, isn’t what room you’re in. It’s that you are you and Alice is Alice.

Madeline knows Alice; oddly, Petey doesn’t….’Twas ever thus.

You’ve gotta love Alice, she is such a handful. She commands whatever space she occupies. Totally uninhibited stream-of-consciousness prattling. Petey is incapable of giving in and abandoning himself to whimsy. It would be like letting different foods touch.

Alice has a wonderful imagination.
