10 Lanterns; Dictated

Dearest March Hare and most tedious Dormouse, and anyone else who was going to come to the tea party at my home, I have found myself in the Queen's courtyard. I'm perfectly fine, but I'm afraid I'll have to postpone tea while I try to figure out this maddening maze. I'm very sorry about that!

I wonder if Time has gotten Space on his side to make life difficult for me... That would explain this, because I'm sure I wasn't here when I fell asleep last night. No, I was definitely home. Not here. They both start with the letter H, but beyond that, neither one is anything like the other.

You see, this doesn't even make a good riddle!

But I guess there's a silver lining here! I mean, if anyone wasn't planning on attending the tea party, now they have more time to think about why they should change their mind! I'd love for many people to come.

They have! I bet when I see you for tea, they will be nearly two fingers taller than they were last I saw you! And how do you know? Maybe they do and that's why you're already so useless, my dear!

Ahhhh! If heads are just heads, then why does it matter if the Queen should chop someone's off? It's because they are part of the body!

And when have I ever been useless? In fact, I am more useful that the Dormouse, who just falls asleep all the time during tea!

Heads are more important than bodies, that is why. And if we wish to keep ours, dearest Mad Hatter, then we should stop arguing and start walking before the Queen finds us.

You are more useful than the Dormouse, but that's not much of a claim. It's not surprising that bread is sweeter than mustard, after all!

That is--! Actually an excellent point. Walking we shall do, yes.

Bread is not sweet at all, which shows how much you know.

Perhaps we shall meet at the entrance once we make it out of this damnable maze.

It is sweeter than mustard and you cannot convince me otherwise!

Ah, I will be looking forward to it.
