We didn't try to find food after that; besides, we were too tired, too scared, and too confused. The grass was soft, there was no weather, and nothing seemed terribly threatening, so I suggested that we all try to get some sleep and see if that might help their eyes. I was totally, completely exhausted. None of us, of course, had any concept that we might be in a severe radiation field, or that there was any other remaining danger. It simply didn't occur to us. It was likely that if we had retained our memories, we probably would have had more sense than to come here in the first place. Then again, maybe not, since the food was going to run out fast back in that little patch of remaining reality, and death here attempting an escape would be far preferable to death by slow starvation over there.

As achy and exhausted as I was, and without a lot of memories or recriminations to dwell on or worries about a technology I was rediscovering and misunderstanding, I went out like a light. * * *

They were all there, all lined up at the tea party, all looking starved and thirsty and forlorn, since the

Mad Hatter and March Hare had wasted the tea and the Dormouse had eaten all the biscuits and

crumpets.

I knew their faces; I knew all their faces, save perhaps one or two, whether they were male or female, big

or little, weak or strong. Even Black Hair and Yellow Hair were there, although not copies of them. Of the

short, plump woman with no nipples who was cloned in the big room there was no sign.
