This is the Life

A Junior High Comedy in One Act

The Devil Stone

Babs, the new member of the high school class, looms up as keen competition for Tessa--the great Tessa who has always been first in everything. When it looks as though Babs would get the lead in the class play and then shows up with a bracelet which is a duplicate of one Tessa has just bought, Tessa's anger soars to fever heat. Just about this time some money is discovered missing from the class candy fund, and there is much conjecturing as to who the guilty one might be. When Tessa makes a remark (which she really doesn't mean) it is quickly picked up by Marge, the class gossip, and passed on from one to the other, each time gaining proportions. But the gossip, instead of hurting Babs, boomerangs back to Tessa but by this time we find her a much more understanding young lady.

Lewis Carroll

In 1862 Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a shy Oxford mathematician with a stammer, created a story about a little girl tumbling down a rabbit hole. Thus began the immortal adventures of Alice, perhaps the most popular heroine in English literature. Countless scholars have tried to define the charm of the Alice books--with those wonderfully eccentric characters the Queen of Hearts, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Cheshire Cat, Mock Turtle, the Mad Hatter et al.--by proclaiming that they really comprise a satire on language, a political allegory, a parody of Victorian children's literature, even a reflection of contemporary ecclesiastical history. Perhaps, as Dodgson might have said, Alice is no more than a dream, a fairy tale about a trials and tribulations of growing up--or down, or all tumed round--as seen through the expert eyes of a child. From the Paperback edition.
