Sunlight arose within the forest in which they lived in. Grace got up from her bed and put on a dress and looked around her surroundings before heading out into the main portion of the cabin. Her father was no where to be seen and this had her worried. Grace looked around for her father and wondered where he could be.
"Papa?!" she called out in a frantic voice. "Papa!!" she called again. Still no answer. Leaving the cabin she looked all over her surroundings and found him hiding behind a tree. "Found you!" she said giggling softly before running off again.

"Aha! You found me!" he declared with a chuckle. Jefferson tried to playfully grab her but she ran off. "Careful" he teased. "Or before you know it you'll fallow a White Rabbit down a hole to Wonderland" Jefferson loved acting out the 'stories' he told his young daughter.

As he tried to grab her she giggled softly and looked at him as she started to run away. Then she stopped and looked at him. Her eyes wide as he told her to be careful. "I'm always careful Papa" she said grinning up at her father. "I still want to go there Papa. When can I go to Wonderland?" she asked as she was coming back to him but keeping five inches away from him. In case he was going to grab her. "Nope, not coming closer..I know your tricks Papa" she said grinning a little.

For a moment, he hesitated when Grace asked about 'going' to Wonderland. "I take you there evey night with my stories" he told her playfully. Again he tried to reach out and grab her. "Oh no, it's...the dreaded Bandersnatch! What will Grace do?"

"I forgot! That's right!" she said smacking herself in the forehead with here head playfully. She walked passed her and she screamed when he grabbed her. "Papa!" she said giggling as she heard his voice. Grace squealed and she squirmed lightly in her father's arms and she tried to escape. "I will kill the Bandersnatch!" she said giggling. "But I'm weaponless!" she said in a dramatic voice and passed out in her fathers arms playfully.

"Oh no! He has gotten her under a spell and he will take the maiden back to the Queen of Hearts! But wait, here comes the White Knight to rescue her!"
With that, Jefferson gently lay his daughter down and began to act out the battle between the Bandersnatch and the White Knight.

Grace tried as hard as she could not to laugh but then she felt the grass underneath her and she listened to father's voice. She tried to lay completely still as she heard about the 'knight'.

For a moment things went quiet.
And then she heard him once more, as White Knight rather overdramatically. "Oh no! The Bandersnatch has put a sleeping spell on my fair maid! Whatever shall I do?" Grace could feel her Papa pick her up and craddle her. "Am I too late?"

Grace could feel her father picking her up in her arms, she remained still for sometime and she said nothing more for a while. She turned her head to rest against her father.

"Mayhaps a kiss shall wake her!" Jefferson continued still slightly over dramatic. With that, Jefferson brushed hair away from Grace's face and kissed her forehead like any loving father might.
"Did it work?"

Her eyes opened up when she felt her father kiss her on the forehead and she grinned lightly. "You saved me!" she said giggling and sitting up in his arms and hugging him tightly. Grace grinned brightly and she looked at her father. "Neighbors mentioned that a fair was in town today Papa, can we go?" she asked curiously looking up at him.

Jefferson hugged his daugher just as tightly. He kissed her on the forehead once more. "A fair in town? Today?" Jefferson acted as if he were thinking. "I think there is set by that we could go. Shall we go see?"

Grace sat her head upon her father's chest while he kissed her forehead. She loved him more than anything else in this world. Turning her direction to her face. "Yes Papa, there's a fair. The neighbors told me about it.." she said softly. "Oh good!" she said grinning happily and taking his hand. "Yes Papa! I think we should" "she told him a moment later.

Jefferson took his daughter by the hand and led her back into the cabin they shared. He went right to where he kept any extra money they might have made once their basic needs were taken care of. "My Grace, will you count that for me?" he asked handing her a hand-made cloth bag.

She felt him holding her hand as they headed towards the cabin. Grace looked up at her father as he handed her the cloth bag and she nodded her head. "Yes Papa" she said softly as she sat down upon a chair at the table and started counting the money.
