Scene 2 – The Magnificent Grand Room

[He was the Mad Hatter. He wore a tail coat made of beautiful plum-colored velvet. His trousers were bottle green, and his gloves were pearly grey. And in one hand, he carried a fine gold-topped walking cane. Covering his chin, there was a small, neat, pointed beard – a goatee. And his eyes were most marvelously bright. They seemed to be sparkling at twinkling all the time.]

[Frightened, the innocent kid hid himself in between the shelves, where there was storage space.]

Mad Hatter: [sniffs] Hmm, I smell human…

[James shivered. And the Mad Hatter sensed that… and he followed the direction and was astonished to see the young boy.]

Mad Hatter: Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
James: Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
Mad Hatter: What are you doing in my room?! Where are you from? [Agitated]

[James stared at the ceiling, and replied -]

James: There!
[The Mad Hatter began to know the whole incident. He smiled, and placed his arms on James’ shoulder and answered, smiling -]

Mad Hatter: There? Okay, so, sweetheart, do you know where you are?
James: Can you please tell me where am I now? So at least I can find my way home using the directory.
Mad Hatter: This is a place… Like no place on Earth…A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger… Some say to survive it; you must be as mad as a hatter. [Put on the hat as mentioned] Which luckily I am.
