It was evening before Alice and Helen had a chance to talk to Keli again. The intervening time was spent hauling fungi Smerinthus harvested from his garden back inside to a storage room. By the end of the day they ached from their exertions and their bottoms bore the marks of their master's whip where he had encouraged them to greater effort. It was only as dusk fell that they wearily dragged their last load inside. The door to the garden was locked and bolted for the night and they were led back to the cell room. Smerinthus ordered they were to be put in adjoining cells, which was the usual practice for modified girlings until he was sure their changes were stable. This reminded Alice of the treatment they had undergone, which the rigours of work had driven from her mind. It was obviously nothing as gross as the changes he had inflicted on the others, but what was it? Helen was still coming to terms with their drastically reduced size. As they stood pressed to the bars of their cells with only a wall between them she said, 'I can just about accept Smerinthus being able to mutate bodies but not shrinking us like this. I'm no physicist but it seems impossible.'
'Back home, yes,' Alice agreed. 'A doll-size person made up of regular atoms would have no room for more brains than you'd expect in a similar-sized animal. Compressing a normal person's mass down to this size would give you a body denser than lead. And, even if you could somehow shrink every molecule, keeping them in the same proportions, your subject wouldn't be able to breathe unshrunk air or digest unshrunk food and so on.'
'Sounds like you've given this a lot of thought.'
'Because I went though the same arguments when it happened to me before. I told you, right?'
'Yes, but hearing about it's one thing, actually experiencing it is another.'
'Well, you've just got to accept the laws of nature are different in Underland and make the best of it. The last time I was shrunk to this size, I walked through a glade of wild flowers one morning and drank dewdrops from a bluebell. Even though I was on the run at the time that was one of the most magical and amazing moments in my life.'
'You're saying enjoy the adventure, right?'
'Yes. Even here and now. We'll get though it.'
Helen hesitated. 'Earlier . . . when we were in the lab hooked together and had to come . . . I got excited seeing you in pain. I'm sorry.'
'I hoped you would. Looking at you helped me as well. Don't be shy now, be honest. It can be incredibly sexy seeing naked girls strapped down tight and suffering, as long as it's done right and they're up for it. You liked spanking me in the show we put on for the soldiers.'
'That was different. We'd planned it. It was . . . personal.'
'We can still enjoy this.
