November 4, 1864
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Received confirmation from the Superintendent that I will be given the opportunity to treat a very troubled and difficult patient. Dubious honor! Her name is Alice, and her prognosis is not promising. After looking at her file, I'm astonished she has survived this long. She has been nearly comatose for a year.
| | 11 | November 11, 1864 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
November 11, 1864
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Mute on a stretcher, with her head curiously bandaged, Alice seems to cling precariously to life. Her burns have healed remarkably in the year since the fire, but she languishes in a deep trance-like dementia. It's as if the blaze consumed her senses wholesale. Deaf, dumb and blind to all stimulation, she's a fair match for the infirmary's gloom.
| | 12 | November 13, 1864 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
November 13, 1864
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: In the twelve months since the conflagration, Alice has dropped further into a grim and darkly quiet abyss. It's a wonder the Superintendent didn't bury her deep within the Bedlam catacombs. The surgeons were able to cure the flesh, but they've done nothing to treat the inflammation of her brain. It's not sure what he expects me to accomplish with her. I suppose he thinks that in my twenty-three years within these troubled walls I've mastered a curriculum not taught in Oxford classrooms.
| | 13 | November 14, 1864 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
November 14, 1864
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Her one possession is a toy - a sooty, stuffed rabbit whose single button-eye dangles from a loose thread. Plaything from her time of innocence, and her only link to life before the fire, the rabbit is now sentinel to Alice's deepening dementia.

December 8, 1864
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: When I hold a flame to her eye, nothing in her vacuous gaze betrays the faintest glimmer of response...
| | 16 | December 9, 1864 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
December 9, 1864
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: In many ways it's as if she's in the grave already...
| | 17 | December 10, 1864 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
December 10, 1864
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Though she appears weak, she must have a strong constitution to have survived until now. Her fever persists, her breathing heaves violently at times and, even after more than a year of healing, burns so massive commonly cause great discomfort. You'd never imagine she's in any distress, though, the way she's stretched, as lifeless as a British Museum mummy. I daresay, however, that I'll stir her from her dreamery, even if the response is involuntary. I'll begin tomorrow with a steady treatment of cold plasters and bloodletting. The bleeding might cause some relief to her dementia. I also have a new shock apparatus that I'd like to try on her. I'm curious to see how she reacts to this treatment.
| | 18 | December 14, 1864 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
December 14, 1864
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: The physicians who treated her burns reported that she barely noticed when they debrided and dressed her wounds. Indeed, she rarely showed any agitation at all when they examined her over the months. They also report, however, that on some nights, she howled like a banshee. When the nurses responded to the screams, Alice would hush, as if magically released from her demons. Eventually, they stopped responding to these outbursts. And, after a short while, she stopped uttering any noise whatsoever.
| | 19 | January 6, 1865 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
January 6, 1865
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Another patient died in the night. I'd been treating her with the same potion I intend for Alice. I had been quite certain she was improving with each subsequent vial, so this development is quite vexing. Perhaps the stronger mixture was too much for her chronically weak chest. A little more experimentation is in order before I feed this serum to Alice.
| | 20 | January 22, 1865 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
January 22, 1865
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: The bleeding doesn't appear to be causing a significant change, except for the increased pallor of her complexion. Contrasted against her drab rags, she's turned an uncanny shade of ivory. The bloodletting will prime her constitution for my restorative potion.
| | 21 | February 18, 1865 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
February 18, 1865
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Three amputations in a week - that's a high number, for any hospital. I dream of wiggling stumps and splintery crutches. I mumble a prayer of thanks to Napoleon's surgeon - how terrible the screams must have been before he discovered the technique for painless amputation. I can't seem to escape the chloroform's cloying odor.
| | 22 | February 23, 1865 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
February 23, 1865
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Through the windows of my laboratory, I can glimpse the garden ward. Nurse D- is leading a group of children to the airing room. I listen to great shuffling of feet on the pebble path. Will Alice, I wonder, ever stroll the grounds with the others? Will she ever regain her senses? Or, for the rest of her days will she remain cloistered behind these thick, grey walls? Based on her progress so far, it seems futile to hold out much hope for a cure.
| | 23 | February 24, 1865 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
February 24, 1865
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: In the first months of her treatment, a surgeon by the name of Grantham took particular interest in Alice's case. He viewed her early reluctance to rejoin society as quite normal considering what she'd been through. The all-consuming fire. The loss of one's entire family. The shattered and scorched body. It's quite natural for anyone, let alone a child, to give way under such strain.
| | 24 | March 23, 1865 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
March 23, 1865
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Nothing seems to aggravate the girl. I've tried restraint - handcuffs, leg-locks and straightjackets. I've tried solitary confinement. On the other hand, I've allowed her to smell freedom, leaving her for hours at a time unattended in the garden. Yet nothing stirs her. I still have a number of methods, some of which I haven't engaged in since the old days, but I'm beginning to doubt anything can bring about a change in this one.
| | 25 | April 1, 1865 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
April 1, 1865
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Each year on this peculiar day I pause - exactly at noon according to my pocket-watch - to ponder the absurdity of such a day. Is it not ironic that we here should celebrate a holiday dedicated to fools? The girl has shut down completely. If it were possible, I'd say Alice has retreated even further into what the European practitioners of psychiatry call her "psyche." I'll keep trying different methods, but unless there's some sort of marked improvement, there's no reason to hope. I'll document progress... if indeed there ever is any progress.
| | 26 | September 7, 1873 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
September 7, 1873
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: After years of slumber, she chooses to speak to us with a picture, a drawing of some sort of cat. Really, it's nothing like any cat I've ever seen.
| | 27 | September 9, 1873 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
September 9, 1873
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: I admit to a certain amount of excitement over Alice's semi-awakening. I have to be careful, though. At this point, it's difficult to tell what this development - what I'm pleased to call her "progress" - signifies.
| | 28 | September 10, 1873 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
September 10, 1873
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: While Alice napped following her afternoon sedation, Nurse D- took it upon to replace the rabbit's missing eye. Even after living so many years in an infirm population, it can still surprise me when a seemingly trivial act can trigger such a remarkable reaction. Alice woke from her nap and began to sob hysterically.
| | 29 | September 11, 1873 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
September 11, 1873
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: When she is so inclined, Alice can draw. This morning I was greeted by another of Alice's artistic phantasmagorias. What is it she's rendering? I can only think it's a depiction of her nightmare of Hell.
| | 30 | September 12, 1873 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
September 12, 1873
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Two demented youths hung themselves side by side in the ward last night. As a result, I couldn't devote any time to Alice or any other patients. There was some dissension from the townsfolk about not wanting these suicides to be buried within city limits. After some discussion, they relented. It was agreed to bury the boys separately in a clandestine fashion. One will be buried far behind Ramsbottom church, the other in Ribchester.
| | 31 | September 15, 1873 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
September 15, 1873
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: It takes two to feed her, one to wedge open her mouth and the other to funnel food and medicine down her throat. Her jaw, it seems, is clenched in a death's grip.
| | 32 | October 1, 1873 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
October 1, 1873
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: For the past fortnight, I have labored until dawn in the laboratory preparing a new potion. Her recent activity has reinvigorated my research. I discovered last night, quite by accident really, that the smallest infusion of prussic acid and strychnine brings about a curious reaction. At least it seems to work well on the rats. Too much of either ingredient could prove quite lethal of course.
| | 33 | October 3, 1873 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
October 3, 1873
Date of notation added to an entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Would I have admitted her had I known then what I know now?

October 15, 1873
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Approaching Alice's room, I heard the muffled sounds of laughter...
| | 35 | October 18, 1873 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
October 18, 1873
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: The Superintendent paid a visit. The smell of his perfumed handshake is still in my nostrils. He doesn't visit often, but when he does he arrives unannounced and remains overlong. Typically, he flounces through the infirmary pretending to be interested in this case or that. This time, he requested to see Alice and asked for the leeches. When she refused to stir, the Superintendent stretched wide his mouth in a yawn of infinite boredom. When I displayed some of her recent artwork, the Superintendent's attention was caught again as if someone jabbed his fatty palm with a hot poker.
| | 36 | October 21, 1873 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Events | |
October 21, 1873

October 23, 1873
Date of notation added to an entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: So quiet she appeared. Was the deep madness already coursing through her mind?
| | 39 | October 24, 1873 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
October 24, 1873
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Nurse D- has been listening from outside the door. Alice, it seems, has been muttering inarticulately. Though no one can understand her, it's likely she's addressing the one-eyed hare.
| | 40 | October 26, 1873 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
October 26, 1873
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Her case is not overly remarkable... at least not when compared to the countless other patients who live within these walls. I am not minimizing her tragedy - the undeniable strain is enough to set anyone's mind askew. Imagine the horror of hearing the piteous cries of your entire family - trapped in their burning bedrooms - and being unable to help. Alice certainly heard such screams. I imagine she's been hearing them for ten years.
| | 41 | October 28, 1873 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
October 28, 1873
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: I wedged a spoon into her clenched teeth while Nurse D-, serving as my reluctant assistant, poured the newest potion down her throat. When the convulsions commenced, I double-checked the harness, turned down the flame, and left the room. It's a matter of waiting now. She'll have a fitful sleep tonight.
| | 42 | November 3, 1873 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
November 3, 1873
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: I hear the clock ticking onward, past midnight, and then I'm suddenly aware of other sounds. In the barren pit of the night, the most disturbed minds are alive throughout the asylum. Alice isn't stirring, so I listen to the blood-curdling shrieks, the haunting clank of shackles, the insane groaning, insufferable babble and lunatic mutterings.

| | 45 | November 21, 1873 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
November 21, 1873
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Once again, the orderlies were up to their usual pranks. Weary of prying open Alice's mouth, the orderlies started "feeding" Alice's toy rabbit, spooning porridge onto the stuffed toy. While engaged in this feeding, the orderlies learned an essential lesson in asylum protocol - never turn your back on a patient... no matter how docile she seems.
| | 46 | December 7, 1873 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
December 7, 1873
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: There's been a slight change. Her mouth is now relaxed, and we can feed her without force. When it's time for her elixir, she seems to part her lips slightly as if she's inviting the new potion into her belly. Hardly a cure, but any change symbols progress.
| | 47 | December 8, 1873 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
December 8, 1873
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: A mangy cat was licking at Alice's cheek. It hissed when I entered, and pounced onto the windowsill - it must be flesh and bones only to squeeze through the grate. I could almost perceive a smile on its scabbed face. It's curious how an animal's countenance can appear almost human. There are so many feral cats on the grounds. I wouldn't be surprised if they outnumber the patients.
| | 48 | December 11, 1873 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
December 11, 1873
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Six insane children escaped today - no word has come yet regarding their apprehension. I hope they don't harm the townspeople.
| | 49 | December 12, 1873 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
December 12, 1873
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Nurse D- lifted Alice into a wheelchair and rolled her, along with the one-eyed rabbit, into the airing courtyard. Perhaps a change of scenery might entice a bit of cooperative behavior. The nurse favors the latest doctrine espoused by the Commissioners. Compassion is creed of the day. I watched from the window of my study. Alice didn't twitch.
| | 50 | December 13, 1873 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
December 13, 1873
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Something in the outdoor air may have stirred her imagination. On her return she produced an intriguing sketch. Once again she proves she is capable of doing something other than staring at the yellowed paint on the ceiling.
| | 51 | December 13, 1873 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
December 13, 1873
Date of notation added to an entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: A little less laudanum and a little more camphor might have spared her.
| | 52 | December 15, 1873 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
December 15, 1873
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: It's been three days since I removed the rabbit from her room. We can hear her screams growing louder through the closed door.
| | 53 | December 16, 1873 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
December 16, 1873
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: The missing children were found in the abandoned schoolhouse near Milton Cross. Five were returned to infirmary bruised and bloodied from their excursion to the world outside. One was found at the bottom of an abandoned well.
| | 54 | December 18, 1873 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
December 18, 1873
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: She raves on, worse today than ever before, as her latest drawings all too clearly indicate.
| | 55 | December 21, 1873 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
December 21, 1873
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: When I entered her room today, Alice screamed at me to leave. I called for Nurse D-. We strapped her down and increased the morning dosage.
| | 56 | December 25, 1873 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
December 25, 1873
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: She has returned to her trance-like state, with one notable exception - her mouth stretches very wide whenever anyone enters the room. Whether it's for the potion or for the food, she's definitely inviting more.
| | 57 | January 27, 1874 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
January 27, 1874
Date of notation added to an entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Little could I have imagined her mind would eventually gambol in unimaginable forests and gardens.

March 29, 1874
Date of notation added to an entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: With such behavior, maybe it was a mistake to stir these waters and awaken her.
| | 59 | March 29, 1874 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
March 29, 1874
Date of notation added to an entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Even a drawing so bizarre couldn't foreshadow the imaginings to come.
| | 60 | April 4, 1874 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
April 4, 1874
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Months pass and again nothing. I've increased the prussic acid by two drops per day. I wonder if I'm wasting my efforts. Perhaps another patient would be a better choice for this treatment.
| | 61 | April 7, 1874 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
April 7, 1874
Date of notation added to an entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Looking back, I retract this statement. Her case IS most remarkable.

April 13, 1874
Date of notation added to an entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: An outburst such as this shouldn't have surprised me.

April 13, 1874
Date of notation added to an entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: My suspicions are confirmed. Those oafish orderlies are the Superintendent's misbegotten nephews!
| | 65 | April 17, 1874 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
April 17, 1874
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Months pass and still nothing. Nurse D-, having lost patience with my treatments, insists on trying a "cure" of her own. She stitched the rabbit together and tucked it into bed with Alice.
| | 66 | April 18, 1874 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
April 18, 1874
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Interesting development! Alice has returned the gift, presenting Nurse D- with a drawing of a rabbit, though it's quite different from her toy.
| | 67 | April 26, 1874 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
April 26, 1874

| | 68 | April 26, 1874 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
April 26, 1874
Date of notation added to an entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: It reminds me of the cat that pounced on Alice when she arrived here. More emaciated though.

| | 70 | June 1, 1874 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
June 1, 1874
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Out of nowhere, and as shocking as a bolt of lightning across a sky of purest azure, Alice greeted me with a strange grin. And then, lightning bolt upon lightning bolt, she began to converse quite freely as if we'd been speaking to each other like this for decades. I'll include just a smattering of remarks as evidence, not that the burden of proof is with me in this foul courtroom.
| | 71 | June 2, 1874 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
June 2, 1874
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: It's a world of sheer, chaotic terror and unmitigated bloodshed - that's the world she inhabits. So severe are her delusions, so fantastical and absurd, that at times it's difficult for me to listen. She speaks of a nightmare realm where everything seems bent on her destruction. Gigantic bayonet-toting ants and flesh-rending flowers. Carnivorous fish and fire-spewing abominations. The range of hellish creatures populating her world is dizzying. They are, on balance, more deranged than the most demonic Bosch painting. It's as if I have been waiting and waiting for water to pour from a spigot. Now, the water has finally started pouring, and I cannot staunch the flow, nor discover its poisoned source.
| | 72 | June 7, 1874 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
June 7, 1874
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: More and more, she confides in me. She drones on and on. I think the elixir is at the proper dosage now. At times, she seems to fear and loathe my presence, yet she speaks as if she can't help herself.
| | 73 | June 8, 1874 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
June 8, 1874
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: She spent the afternoon telling of a grisly siege between life-size chess pieces. Having been hounded by a cyclopic pawn, it seems she dispatched the one-eyed monster only to be chased mercilessly over the living chessboard by a pair of renegade rooks. As usual, her description was vivid beyond comprehension, a chronicle decidedly more compelling than anything in Froissart.
| | 74 | June 11, 1874 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
June 11, 1874
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Dozing off for a few minutes only, I woke to the sight of Alice's freed hands tugging at my watch fob. Shackles might be required for future sessions - at least until she behaves. I'm taking her pencils as well. Let's see if this punishment provokes a response.
| | 75 | June 12, 1874 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
June 12, 1874
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: I should have predicted this. Without pencil, she turns to poetry.
| | 76 | June 15, 1874 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
June 15, 1874
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Her conversation contains flashes of lucidity. Certain powerful words, however, cause her to dip back into her fantasy world. And a word like "fire" can, for obvious reasons, set her tumbling into an abyss of sadness.
| | 77 | June 17, 1874 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |
June 17, 1874
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Alice hurled the teapot across the room.
| | 78 | June 18, 1874 | Dates | 19th Century and earlier | Journal Entries | |

June 25, 1874
Date of entry in Dr. Wilson's casebook: Perhaps more cold saltwater treatments will cleanse some of the chaotic thinking from her mind. She has been ranting. In particular, she's been spouting violently against someone she refers to as the Red Queen. From day to day, her moods run the gamut from despondent gloom to vicious anger. The ancients believe that a strong wind blows through the minds of the chronically unstable. If a student of Hippocrates examined Alice, he might diagnose there was a tempest with the force of a thousand mistrals raging through her head.
