“The Queen of Hearts,

She made some tarts,

All on a summer day:

The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts,

And took them quite away!”

“So someone else stole the tarts?” Robin asks, confused.

“Someone else was supposed to steal the tarts,” Frankie says. “The Knave of Hearts. Which is the Jack. And then he gets caught and the queen puts him on trial. And condemns him to beheading.”

Yikes.

“Again with the beheading,” Penny says, running her hands over her hair. “Why is this place so obsessed with beheading?”

“That’s a very good question.” I stand up, feeling sick. “We’ve got to get out of here before the cards find us.”

“Thanks for letting us come to your tea party,” Robin tells the Hatter, rubbing her stomach. “The egg salad sandwich was really good.”

“It was a pleasure to meet you,” Frankie says, jumping out of her seat.

He frowns up at her, then glances from Penny to Robin to me. “Where did you four come from?”

“We’ve been here the whole time,” I say.

He jumps and looks at his watch. “The time? Why, it’s six o’clock! Time to move seats for tea!”

“Keep searching!” we hear one of the cards shout in the distance. Eek.

“We’ve got to move,” I say as Frankie, Robin, and I hurry to the gate.

“But where are we running to?” Penny asks, hurrying with us.

“I don’t know!” I cry. “Frankie, what happens next in the book?”

Frankie bites her thumbnail as she runs. “Well, now I’m not so sure. The fact that you guys ate the tarts kind of messed up the story.”

We messed up the story, huh? I sigh.

Story of my life.
