Alice in Wonderland, chapter 2, The Pool of Tears.

http://www.alice-in-wonderland.net/resources/chapters-script/alices-adventures-in-wonderland/chapter-2/

The Pool (pool table) of Tears (tear is synonymous with break, and the pool table is set up for the break).

Key words, phrases, concepts chapter 2Alice cries. Pool. Sea. Signify. Mouse. Alternate number bases systems (0=1 … example: [4 x 6] base 21 = 13) to indicate one system leading to different value or structure (like language) in an alternate system. (Incident with A. Spade and mouse mask may tie in with this alternate language system. May not. Speculation.)

Also note that the solid 3 and stripe 14 are beside each other. May be accident, may not but 3 and 14 are PI and pie is synonymous with pizza. Also worth noticing that the vertexes of the rack configuration are 1, 6, 13. Kind of interesting that the 6 is beside the 3 because the number 163 is a Heegner number and multiplied by pi is 512.07 … Move 'round in a clockwise motion and the solid 5 and stripe 12 are configured opposite the pi configuration. This may be unintentional. Just an observation.

There is a pattern in how the solid and stripe billiard ball numbers appear and do not appear. Number is not visible = no. Number is visible = yes.

Line 1) Solid 1 = no Stripe 9 = yes (unlike)

Line 2) Solid 2 = no Stripe10 = no (like)

Line 3) Solid 3 = no Stripe 11 = yes (unlike)

Line 4) Solid 4 = yes Stripe 12 = no (unlike)

Line 5) Solid 5 = no Stripe 13 = yes (unlike)

Line 6) Solid 6 = yes Stripe 14 = yes (like)

Line 7) Solid 7 = yes Stripe 15 = no (unlike)

Remove like lines 2 and 6 and this pattern

Line 1) no, yes

Line 3) no, yes

Line 4) yes, no

Line 5) no, yes

Line 7) no, yes

emerges. May or may not be intentional.
