1.3 Mad Hatter

The host of an endless tea party stuck at six o’clock

Introduction

The Mad Hatter at his tea party

The Hatter and the March Hare are stuck at six o’clock, the hour when Time fell out with the Hatter and stopped for him entirely. They circle the table in search of a clean cup, never washing the old ones, always moving on. The tea party has no beginning and no end, and no one expects it to.
