In\nparticular, the Cheshire Cat?\n\n1) The cat is gray with stripes of darker gray, like Teniel's illustration\nof the Cheshire Cat in *Alice in Wonderland*.\n2) It becomes invisible like that cat.\n3) Father Inire's interest in children and telling them stories is like\nLewis Carrol.\n4) Mirrors leading to an alternate reality was done in \"Through the Looking\nGlass\" long before Borges.\n5) The doll-like child also seems like a reference to Alice, who shrunk in\nthe story.\n6) In the end, the cat haunts someone's dreams. Alice's adventures were\ndreams."
