Since I never!

(The title is meant to be read in an "Well, I never!" tone. But it probably didn't work as well as I hoped.)

Since this is meant to be a place of things that happen to cross my mind, I've been thinking of Lorina a lot lately.
Lorina is Alice Liddell's sister. Alice Liddell is the Alice from Alice's Adventure's in Wonderland.

To me Lorina is much different than her sister. She is a little older. And likes to read books. But she is a little less curious. She would rather wait for the train and read than wander off because she got bored.
Unless she's dragged there.

I'm wondering how old she is in my mind. She's at least 13 or 14.

While she's at the train station one day, it's raining and she's reading her book. A boy takes notice of her. His name is Louis.

And he takes her on a much different ride than she expected. Though, not under the ground, but into the sky.

And then I must begin on steampunk. For he is very much steampunk. A pilot. She lives in the world that is steampunk, so she has some jewelry and whatnot. Meh, she doesn't seem to participate too much in what is steampunk. Perhaps she's at the beginning of the age.

She hates Louis.
I still don't know why. Maybe it's because she usually has to run with him. For a long time. Being chased by things.
And he does make fun of her quite a bit. It's rather easy with a name like Liddell.

...
"My name is Miss Liddell." Haughtyish Pout.
"Well, it's nice to meet you Miss Little. Your name fits you well."

Eventually she will hit him with her bag, but I don't think quite at that point.


Nothing I'm saying is making any sense.

But that may be an effect of Lewis Carroll.
