Author [[Mark Chadbourn]] pours a lot of research into even the smallest of passages within ''Wonderland''. Thus the fact that he describes Mathidlda as being a ''former'' member of the Theosophical Society — and current friend of [[Jiddu Krishnamurti|Krishnamurti]] — is significant, at least when viewed through the dangerous lens of real world history. It seems to imply that she had turned her back on the Theosophical Society just like her friend — [[T:NO RW|but of course the DWU could be different from the real world]].
* Author [[Mark Chadbourn]] chose to describe Mathilda as a ''former'' member of the Theosophical Society and ''current'' friend of [[Jiddu Krishnamurti|Krishnamurti]] to reference Krishnamurti's real-world split from the Theosophical Society in the late 1920s.
