From YKTTW Working Title: Every Proper Lady Should Curtsy
Nate The Great: The Alice in Wonderland example needs clarification. I shudder to think how many adaptations of that book there are. Which one? Or is the example describing her encounter with the Red Queen where she is told (not taught) to curtsy while she thinks of a reply, for it saves time? If so, the example needs to be edited a bit.
