Which brings me to another question! Just what was the price on the ticket in the Mad Hatter's Hat? My copy of "Alice" doesn't have a print of Teniel's original illustration, so I can't check just now, but I always thought it was marked "10/6" (i.e.,ten shillings and sixpence, or half-a-guinea in the ancient Brit-cash mode). The quizmaster at our local pub (the Boot & Shoe!) gave the answer to that question as 7/6 (seven and sixpence, or "free 'arf crahns" to a Cockney)
Now Helen is implying that the price is 11/6 - whihc is right, please?
