""I tell you to think black thoughts and you come up with that?!" the lieutenant had screamed. "Is a guinea pig bad? Do you consider a guinea pig the representation of all that is evil?"

"Maybe... if it's an evil guinea pig.""

"“But I killed you,” Alyss said. “Did you?” Red turned to The Cat. “Why wasn’t I informed?”"
— Frank Beddor (The Looking Glass Wars)

""For now. But if I ever decide you're useless, you are a dead man."
"To be killed by you is to be desired more than a life excluded from your service."
"Bravo." Her Imperial Viciousness laughed with genuine feeling. "Bra-vo!"

"Duh!" said the blue caterpiller. "Do you think, just maybe, that's because you predicted this?"

"Only the previous day, Arch had found him in a spirit-dance corral, blistering the creatures to the point of death, such was his need to touch and destroy."

""Well now," the scholar went on, "I'm just an old fuddy-duddy who could use a tan, so you needn't grant my opinion any authority, but I consider the queendom lucky that a handful of Milliners and their children lived incognito among the population during Redd's tyranny."

""Having been away from you offical duties," Arch said as the Miller's hand lowered to his side, "you might not have hearc, but I've developed a weapon capable of destroying all of Boaderland, Wonderland, Morgavia, Unterlan and who knows what else. I call it WILMA, which stands for Weapon of Inconceivable Loss and Massive Annihilation. It also happens to be the name of one of my former wives, who had to be put down on account of her feisty temper.""

"Hatter!" She would have hugged him if she hadn't thought he'd be bothered by the dislay of affection.
"Pterry good timing." Dodge smiled. "A litte sooner and you would've been perfect.""

""I've finished running from you, Redd. It's time for you to run."
--Alyss"
— Frank Beddor (The Looking Glass Wars)

"Redd laughed. "The lovely thing about being here," she said, gesturing at the maze, "is that I'm able to immagine your imagination powerless. Ah, if only that were the case on the outside. But enough chitchat. If you're going to die--which you are--I'm sure you'd like to get it over with."

""You don't like my dress?"
The vines of Reed's couture streched toward the tutor, the rose's petal-mouths chomping.
"It isn't that, Your Imperial Viciousness. The earthlings will not understand you. Not understanding you, they will be frightened and send their petty authorities to apprehend you."
"Ha!"
"Of course they'll fail. That isn't the point. But you'll have to wast engery dealing with them instead of concentrating on your niece's destruction. I doubt that the way to achive your aim is to spread your strength across many fronts so that, when it's time to battle Alyss, you many not be at the peak of your powers. Your niece, I gather, shouldn't be underestimated."
Vollrath hadn't graduated from the Tutor Corps for nothing. "I don't like when sound reasoning counters my wishes," Redd hissed."

""I'd had a cold that day and wasn't as powerful as usual, otherwise Alyss would never have done so well," Redd said as, in the alcove, the final image dissolved. She blew at the cloud and it drifted out into the crypt. "Has a malicious ruler ever suffered more? I think not.""

""I miss you, dad."

""My ministers have informed me that Alyss is ridding her land of Glass Eyes."
"Overriding the imperative that Redd embedded in them is harder than she thought," added Ripkins.
"In other words, they're designed to kill and nothing more."
The bodygaurds bowed that this was so.
"Perhaps the trick is not the override their imperative," Arch mused, "but the reprogram them to acknowledge a differnent master. Everyone in Woderland--even the otherwise rebellious Redd Heart--is, was, or always has been occupied with inventing things. But what good are things if there no clever schemes in which to use them? I putthings to unexpected and imaginative use."

""Queen Alyss, my guards have discovered something you should see."
Her face had relaxed at the sight of him, but her brow at once contracted, her lips thinned with tension.
"We've found evidence of suspicious activity in the palace," he said.
"What sort of activity?"
"You might want to step this way and see for youself. I apologize in advance for you having to set foot in a gaurdsman's quaters."
He led her into his rooms. The boyish portrait of Sir Justice, the fire crystals in the hearth, the elegantly arrayed table: Alyss blinked in puzzlement.
"What is all this?"
"My best guess, You Majesty, is that it's breakfast, but I can't be sure until we taste it.""
— Frank Beddor (Seeing Redd)

""I would find no value in the allegiance of a fool ready to give himself up to any old hag of Black Imagination who presented herself. I will accept your allegiance. For now. But if I ever decide you're useless, you are a dead man."

"Redd stared at the bald head bent down before her. How refreshing Vollrath's sacrifice was. He didn't beg for his life. He didn't embarrasss himself with groveling or sniveling, or appeals to her nomexistent mercy."

""Molly wants to know her father's name," Arch said to them. "Why don't you give her a hint?"
"His first name with 'splatter,'" said Ripkins.
"And 'matter'," said Blister.
"Also 'fatter,'" said Ripkins.
"Likewise 'chatter'," added Blister.
"And his surname?" Arch asked.
"It rhymes with 'that again'," said Ripkins.
"And 'Flanagan," put in Blister.
"Also, um...'pad a fin'?" offered Ripkins.
Arch and Blister looked at him.
"'Pannikin!'" he said proudly.
"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" Molly screamed. "You don't know what you're talking about!""

"THe Gnobi, when not roused to violence, were a sluggish clan, the least nomadic of Boarderland's tribes. Not sensing any immediate threat to their freedoms in the person of Jack Diamond, they had responded to his urgency with characteristic listessness.
"Myrval's tent is somewhere that way," one of them had said with a vauge wave of the hand.
"Follow the sound of the snoring and you'll find it," another had suggested."
— Frank Beddor (Seeing Redd)

""We're family," Alyss said.
Redd snorted. "Is that supposed to mean something?"
"Family," Alyss said again, trying to convince herself more than Redd.
"Don't talk to me about family! You were never disowned by your parents!"
"I'd rather have been disowned by them then see them murdered."

""What do you want to do with me?" she asked.
"You had an unpleasant tumble." He nodded toward the unfamiliar creatures. "My Ganmede friends and I are nursing you back to health, that's all."

""The only reason I don't kill him," he remember the woman saying, her voice sounding like the scrape of iron against iron, a corrosion of vocal cords, "is because he's not important enough.""
— Frank Beddor (Seeing Redd)

"Without a twich of exertion, Redd sealed his lips with glue. "Who wants to kill him?"
The Cat raised a paw. Siren and Alistare raised their hands.
"Mmmmmm mmm mmm," protested Jack."
— Frank Beddor

""The queen is head. Long live the queen...me."
The platoon of renegade soldiers cheered. Redd kicked The Cat where he lay on the floor, tongue lolling in his mouth, the picture of death. "Get up! You still have seven more lives."
The Cat's eyes fluttered open.
"Find Alyss and kill her."
With a wave of her hand, the looking glass was once again whole. The Cate jumped through, in prosuit of the only living Heart besides Redd."

"The black, hungry roses that Redd sent snaking towards the princess were easily squashed, the orbs and and unmanned, airborne blades of effortlessly waved off, and the spears of black energy (Alyss was flattered, her aunt borrowing this idea from her) pinned motionless to the air by Alyss's own white spears with no trouble."
— Frank Beddor (The Looking Glass Wars)

"A Glass Eye leaped out from behind a parcked smail-trasport, blocked thier way. "Did you drop something?" Dodge asked the assassian. "Caus I think I see you..." he unheathed his sword and swung, decapitating the Glass Eye in one blow, "...head over there.""

""When I give the go ahead, go ahead," Alyss said, the jungle gym having come to a stop less than a gwormmy-length from her face.
"What? the four General Doppels cried at once.
"Run when I say so.""

""What. Are. Thooooooose?" the walrus moaned.
On the holo-screen airing the happenings in Genevieve Square, a swarm of scorpspitters released by the Glass Eyes was scuttling toward Alyss and the other. Never before had a Wonderlander seen these scorpion-like contraptions that could bullets of deadly poison from their "tails"--not even Bibwit, who assumed they were the latest in a long line of armaments invented by Redd. But before a single scorpspitter curled its tail into a C to take aim at the queen, she imagined into existance a horde of disembodied boots with steel-plated soles, which hovered monetarily in the air, then--
With a slight nod, she brought them down hard, stomping the scorpspitters flat, squishing their armor-crapaces and making absract art of their wiry guts.
"Ooh, now why can't Queen Alyss do that to the Glass Eyes?" the walrus-bulter cried."

""Dodge," Alyss said, putting a hand to the parrallel scars on his cheek, that brand left so long ago by The Cat. She pressed her lips against each of them--four delicate kisses.
When she pulled away, he was smiling."
— Frank Beddor

"Something stiffened, moved. Just as Alyss realized who it was, standing with bowed head at Sir Justice's grave--
Dodge.
--He whirled around, the point of his sword aimed at her throat.
"Not the warmest way to great your..." She was about tosay "queen" but changed her mind. "...friend.""
