v
A mad tea-political party

There was a tabular array under a tree outside the house, and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea. A Dormouse was sitting between them, asleep. The three of them were all sitting together at one corner of the table, merely the table was large and there were many other seats. Alice sabbatum downwards in a big chair at 1 end.

�Have some coffee,� the March Hare said in a friendly voice.

Alice looked all round the tabular array, simply she could only see a teapot. �I don�t come across any java,� she said.

�There isn�t any,� said the March Hare.

�Then why did you ask me to have some?� said Alice crossly. �It wasn�t very polite of you.�

�It wasn�t very polite of yous to sit down. We haven�t invited you to tea,� said the March Hare.

�Just there are lots of seats,� said Alice.

�Your hair�due south besides long,� said the Hatter, looking at Alice with interest.

�It�s not polite to say things like that,� said Alice.

The Hatter looked surprised, but he said, �Why is a bird like a desk-bound?�

Alice was pleased. She enjoyed playing wordgames, so she said, �That�s an easy question.�

�Exercise y'all mean you lot know the respond?� said the March Hare.

�Yep,� said Alice.

�Then yous must say what yous mean,� the March Hare said.

�I practise,� Alice said apace. �Well, I mean what I say. And that�southward the aforementioned affair, you know.�

�No, it isn�t!� said the Hatter. �Listen to this. I see what I swallow ways one thing, only I consume what I see ways something very different.�

Alice did not know what to say to this. And then she took some tea and some bread-and-butter while she thought about it. The Dormouse woke upwards for a minute and so went to slumber once again. Afterward a while the Hatter took out his scout, shook it, so looked at it sadly.

�2 days tedious! I told you that butter wasn�t good for watches!� he said angrily to the March Hare.

�It was the all-time butter,� said the March Hare sadly.

Alice was looking at the scout with interest. �It�s a strange watch,� she said. �It shows the day of the week, but not the fourth dimension.�

�But we know the fourth dimension,� said the Hatter. �It�south e'er six o�clock here.�

Alice suddenly understood. �Is that why there are all these cups and plates?� she said. �It�south always tea-time here, and you go along moving round the tabular array. Is that right? Merely what happens when you come up to the beginning again?�

�Don�t inquire questions,� said the March Hare crossly. �Yous must tell u.s.a. a story now.�

�Only I don�t know any stories,� said Alice.

And then the March Hare and the Hatter turned to the Dormouse. �Wake up, Dormouse!� they shouted loudly in its ears. �Tell us a story.�

�Aye, please exercise,� said Alice.

The Dormouse woke upwardly and quickly began to tell a story, simply a few minutes later it was asleep once again. The March Hare poured a trivial hot tea on its nose, and the Hatter began to look for a clean plate. Alice decided to leave and walked away into the wood. She looked dorsum once, and the March Hare and the Hatter were trying to put the Dormouse into the teapot.

�Well, I won�t go in that location again,� said Alice. �What a stupid tea-political party it was!� But then she saw a door in one of the trees. �How curious!� she thought. �But everything is strange today. I recollect I�ll get in.�

So she went in. And in that location she was, back in the long room with the lilliputian glass table. At one time, she picked up the gold key from the table, unlocked the niggling door into the garden, and so began to swallow a slice of mushroom. When she was down to most thirty centimetres high, she walked through the door, and and then, at last, she was in the beautiful garden with its green trees and bright flowers.

The Queen�south game of croquet

Near the door at that place was a rose-tree and three gardeners, who were looking at the roses in a very worried manner.

�What�s the matter?� Alice said to them.

�You see, Miss,� said the kickoff gardener, �these roses are white, only the Queen only likes reddish roses, and she � �

�The Queen!� said the second gardener of a sudden, and at one time, the three gardeners lay down flat on their faces. Alice turned round and saw a great crowd of people.

It was a pack of cards, walking through the garden. At that place were clubs (they were soldiers), and diamonds, and ten little children (they were hearts). Next came some Kings and Queens. Then Alice saw the White Rabbit, and backside him, the Knave of Hearts. And last of all, came THE Rex AND QUEEN OF HEARTS.

When the crowd came near to Alice, they all stopped and looked at her, and the Queen said, �Who are y'all?�

�My proper noun is Alice, Your Majesty,� said Alice very politely. Just she thought to herself, �They�re only a pack of cards. I don�t need to be afraid of them!�

�And who are these?� said the Queen, looking at the three gardeners. Then she saw the white roses, and her confront turned ruby-red and angry. �Off with their heads!� she shouted, and soldiers hurried upward to take the gardeners away. The Queen turned to Alice. �Can you play croquet?� she shouted.

�Yes!� shouted Alice.

�Come on, then!� shouted the Queen. The crowd began to movement on, and Alice went with them.

�Information technology�southward � it�due south a very fine day,� said a worried voice in her ear. Alice saw that the White Rabbit was past her side.

�Very fine,� said Alice. �Where�s the Duchess?�

�Shhh!� said the Rabbit in a hurried voice. �She�s in prison house, waiting for execution.�

�What for?� said Alice.

But merely and so the Queen shouted, �Get to your places!� and the game began.

It was the strangest game of croquet in Alice�s life! The balls were hedgehogs, and the mallets were flamingoes. And the hoops were fabricated by soldiers, who turned over and stood on their easily and anxiety. Alice held her flamingo�s trunk under her arm, but the flamingo turned its long neck starting time this manner and so that way. At last, Alice was gear up to striking the brawl with the flamingo�southward head. But by then, the hedgehog was tired of waiting and was walking abroad across the croquet-ground. And when both the flamingo and the hedgehog were fix, at that place was no hoop! The soldiers besides were always getting up and walking away. Information technology really was a very difficult game, Alice thought.

The players all played at the aforementioned fourth dimension, and they were always arguing and fighting for hedgehogs. Nobody could agree about anything. Very shortly, the Queen was wildly angry, and went around shouting �Off with his head!� or �Off with her head!� near once a minute.

Alice began to feel worried. �The Queen is sure to argue with me soon,� she thought. �And what will happen to me and then? They�re cut people�s heads off all the time here. I�m surprised there is anyone left live!�

Just and then she saw something very foreign. She watched advisedly, and after a minute or ii she saw that the thing was a smile. �Information technology�due south the Cheshire Cat,� she said to herself. �Now I�ll accept somebody to talk to.�

�How are you getting on?� said the Cat, when its mouth appeared.

Alice waited. �I can�t talk to something without ears,� she idea. Slowly the Cat�s optics, and then its ears, and then the rest of its head appeared. Just it stopped at the neck, and its torso did non appear.

Alice began to tell the Cat all well-nigh the game. �It�s very difficult to play,� she said. �Everybody argues all the time, and the hoops and the hedgehogs walk away.�

�How do you similar the Queen?� said the True cat quietly.

�I don�t,� said Alice. �She�s very � � Merely then she saw the Queen behind her, so she went on, � � clever. She�s the best actor here.�

The Queen smiled and walked by.

�Who are yous talking to?� said the King. He came up behind Alice and looked at the Cat�s caput in surprise.

�It�s a friend of mine � a Cheshire True cat,� said Alice.

�I�m not certain that I like it,� said the King. �But it can affect my hand if it likes.�

�I prefer not to,� said the Cat.

�Well!� said the King angrily. He called out to the Queen, �My dear! There�s a cat hither, and I don�t similar it.�

The Queen did not look round. �Off with its head!� she shouted. �Call for the executioner!�

Alice was a niggling worried for her friend, but when the executioner arrived, everybody began to argue.

�I can�t cut off a head,� said the executioner, �if in that location isn�t a body to cut it off from.�

�You lot can cutting the head off,� said the King, �from annihilation that�due south got a head.�

�If somebody doesn�t practise something apace,� said the Queen, �I�ll cut everybody�due south head off.�

Nobody liked that plan very much, so they all turned to Alice. �And what practice you say?� they cried.

�The Cat belongs to the Duchess,� said Alice carefully. �Peradventure you could ask her virtually information technology.�

�She�s in prison house,� the Queen said to the executioner. �Bring her here at in one case.�

But then the Cat�s caput slowly began to vanish, and when the executioner came back with the Duchess, in that location was nothing there. The King ran wildly upwardly and down, looking for the True cat, and the Duchess put her arm circular Alice. �I�m and then pleased to see yous again, my dear!� she said.

�Let�due south get on with the game,� the Queen said angrily, and Alice followed her back to the croquet-ground.

The game went on, just all the time the Queen was arguing, and shouting �Off with his head!� or �Off with her head!� Before long there were no hoops left, considering the soldiers (who were the hoops) were also decorated taking everybody to prison. And at the end there were just iii players left � the King, the Queen, and Alice.

The Queen stopped shouting and said to Alice, �Have yous seen the Mock Turtle yet?�

�No,� said Alice. �I�m not sure what a Mock Turtle is.�

�Then come with me,� said the Queen.

They found the Mock Turtle down by the body of water. Adjacent to him was a Gryphon, asleep in the sun. And so the Queen hurried abroad, saying, �I take to get on with some executions.�

The Gryphon woke up, and said sleepily to Alice, �It�s just talk, you know. They never execute everyone.�

Alice was pleased to hear this. She felt a little agape of the Gryphon and the Mock Turtle, because they were so large. But they were very friendly, and sang songs and told her many stories virtually their lives. The Mock Turtle was in the middle of a very sad song when they all heard a shout a long manner away: �It�southward beginning!�

�Come on! We must hurry!� cried the Gryphon. It took Alice past the hand and began to run.

Who stole the tarts?

The King and Queen of Hearts were sitting on their thrones when Alice and the Gryphon arrived. There was a corking crowd of birds and animals, and all the pack of cards.

Soldiers stood all around the Knave of Hearts, and about the King was the White Rabbit, with a trumpet in one manus.

In the centre of the room in that location was a tabular array, with a big plate of tarts on it. �They look proficient,� thought Alice, who was feeling a petty hungry.

And then the White Rabbit called out loudly, �Silence! The trial of the Knave of Hearts volition at present brainstorm!� He took out a long slice of newspaper, and read:

�
The Queen of Hearts, she fabricated some tarts,
All on a summer day.
The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts,
And took them all away.
�

�Very proficient,� said the King. �Phone call the commencement witness.�

Alice looked at the jury, who were now writing everything down. It was a very strange jury. Some of the jurymen were animals, and the others were birds.

Then the White Rabbit blew his trumpet iii times, and chosen out, �First witness!�

The get-go witness was the Hatter. He came in with a teacup in i hand and a piece of bread-and-butter in the other hand. �I�m very pitiful, Your Majesty,� he said. �I was in the middle of tea when the trial began.�

�Have off your hat,� the King said.

�It isn�t mine,� said the Hatter.

�Stolen! Write that downward,� the King said to the jury.

�I keep hats to sell,� explained the Hatter. �I don�t take a lid myself. I�1000 a Hatter.�

�Give your prove,� said the King, �or nosotros�ll cutting your head off.�

The Hatter�due south face up turned white. �I�m a poor human, Your Majesty,� he began, in a shaking vocalism.

Just then Alice had a strange feeling. Later a minute or two she understood what information technology was.

�Don�t push like that,� said the Dormouse, who was sitting next to her. �I�m about falling off my seat.�

�I�m very sorry,� Alice said politely. �I�thousand getting bigger and taller, yous see.�

�Well, yous can�t practice that here,� said the Dormouse crossly, and he got up and moved to another seat.

The Hatter was however giving evidence, just nobody could understand a discussion of information technology. The Male monarch looked at the Queen, and the Queen looked at the executioner.

The unhappy Hatter saw this, and dropped his staff of life-and-butter. �I�m a poor homo, Your Majesty,� he said once more.

�You�re a very poor speaker,� said the King. He turned to the White Rabbit. �Call the next witness,� he said.

The next witness was the Duchess�s melt, who spoke very angrily and said that she would not give any bear witness. The King looked worried and told the White Rabbit to call another witness. Alice watched while the White Rabbit looked at the names on his piece of newspaper. Then, to her great surprise, he chosen out loudly, �Alice!�

�Hither!� cried Alice, jumping to her feet.

�What practise you know about these tarts?� said the Rex.

�Zippo,� said Alice.

The Queen was looking hard at Alice. Now she said, �All people a mile high must go out the room.�

�I�thousand non a mile high,� said Alice. �And I won�t leave the room. I desire to hear the bear witness.�

�There is no more evidence,� said the King very quickly, �and now the jury will � �

�Your Majesty!� said the White Rabbit, jumping upwardly in a peachy bustle. �Nosotros�ve just found this letter. There�s no name on it, merely I recall the Knave wrote information technology.�

�No, I didn�t!� said the Knave loudly.

�Read it to us,� said the Rex.

�Where shall I begin, Your Majesty?� asked the Rabbit.

�Begin at the beginning,� said the King, �and continue until you become to the end, and so stop.�

Everybody listened very carefully while the White Rabbit read these words.

�
They tell me you have been to her,
And talked of me to him.
She idea I was a gardener,
Merely said I could non swim.
�
�
He tells them that I take not gone,
(We know that this is true).
If she decides to hurry on,
What volition they practice to yous?
�
�
I gave her one, they gave him two,
Yous gave us three or more.
They all returned from him to you,
But they were mine before.
�

�That�s a very of import slice of evidence,� said the Rex. He looked very pleased. �At present the jury must � �

�If anybody in the jury can explain that letter,� said Alice (she was not afraid of annihilation now, because she was much bigger than everybody in the room), �I�ll give him sixpence. Information technology�due south all nonsense! It doesn�t mean anything.�

The jury busily wrote this downward. �She thinks it�south all nonsense.�

�All nonsense, eh?� said the Male monarch. He read some of the words once more. �But said I could not swim. Y'all can�t swim, can you?� he said to the Knave.

The Knave�s confront was distressing. �Exercise I wait like a swimmer?� he said. (And he didn�t � because he was fabricated of paper.)

The Rex smiled. �I understand everything now,� he said. �There are the tarts, and here is the Knave of Hearts. And now the jury must decide who the thief is.�

�No, no!� said the Queen. �Off with his head! The jury tin can say what it thinks later on.�

�What nonsense!� said Alice loudly. �The jury must decide outset. You can�t � �

�Be quiet!� said the Queen, her face turning red.

�I won�t!� said Alice.

�Off with her caput!� screamed the Queen. Nobody moved.

�Information technology doesn�t matter what you say,� said Alice. �You�re but a pack of cards!�

Then the pack of cards flew up into the sky and began to autumn on Alice�s face. She gave a little scream � and woke up. She was lying next to her sister under the trees, and some leaves were falling on her face.

�Wake up, Alice dear,� said her sis. �You lot�ve been asleep a long time.�

�Oh, I�ve had a very curious dream!� said Alice, and she told her sister all about the strange adventures in her wonderful dream.

Oh yes, and there was a babe that turned into a fish. Then I played croquet � just for assurance we had flamingoes, and the mallets were hedgehogs.
