Curiouser

Ensign Flandry, CHAPTER TWO.

When Runei comments that Abrams' chess move is curious, Abrams tells him that:

"'It'll get curiouser.'" (p. 18)

This is an Alice reference by Poul Anderson that I have not noted before despite having previously quoted James Blish's use of this same phrase from Alice. See here.

See also other blog references to Alice, here.

Alas, I too missed that reference to the ALICE books! Darn!
