Chessie has let Alice go.

She has managed to run into some bushes, but only because Chessie has allowed her to.

With Chessie not far behind, Alice has tripped and panicking and slipping in the mud she cannot get her self up and merely looks up fearfully as Chessie looms over her.

"Oh goodie," says Chessie "You want to play hide 'n' seek!"

Chessie buries her eyes in her forearm and begins to count to a hundred.
