A mad tea-political party

Thither was a table under a tree exterior the business firm, and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea. A Dormouse was sitting between them, comatose. The three of them were all sitting together at one corner of the table, simply the table was large and there were many other seats. Alice saturday down in a large chair at one end.

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

Alice looked all round the table, simply she could just meet a teapot. �I don�t encounter any coffee,� she said.

�In that location isn�t any,� said the March Hare.

�Then why did you inquire me to have some?� said Alice crossly. �Information technology wasn�t very polite of yous.�

�It wasn�t very polite of you lot to sit down. Nosotros oasis�t invited you to tea,� said the March Hare.

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

�Your hair�s likewise long,� said the Hatter, looking at Alice with interest.

�It�due south non polite to say things like that,� said Alice.

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

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

�Practise you mean y'all know the reply?� said the March Hare.

�Yep,� said Alice.

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

�I do,� Alice said quickly. �Well, I mean what I say. And that�s the same thing, you lot know.�

�No, it isn�t!� said the Hatter. �Listen to this. I see what I consume means one thing, but I eat what I encounter means something very dissimilar.�

Alice did not know what to say to this. So she took some tea and some staff of life-and-butter while she idea about it. The Dormouse woke up for a minute and and then went to sleep again. After a while the Hatter took out his watch, shook it, then looked at it sadly.

�Two days slow! I told yous 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 watch with involvement. �Information technology�due south a strange watch,� she said. �Information technology shows the 24-hour interval of the week, merely not the time.�

�But we know the time,� said the Hatter. �Information technology�due south always half-dozen o�clock here.�

Alice all of a sudden understood. �Is that why there are all these cups and plates?� she said. �It�s always tea-fourth dimension here, and you go on moving round the table. Is that right? Just what happens when you come to the beginning again?�

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

�But I don�t know whatever stories,� said Alice.

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

�Yes, please do,� said Alice.

The Dormouse woke upwardly and quickly began to tell a story, but a few minutes subsequently it was asleep again. The March Hare poured a little hot tea on its nose, and the Hatter began to look for a make clean plate. Alice decided to go out and walked away into the woods. She looked back once, and the March Hare and the Hatter were trying to put the Dormouse into the teapot.

�Well, I won�t go there over again,� said Alice. �What a stupid tea-party it was!� Just and so she saw a door in one of the trees. �How curious!� she thought. �Simply everything is foreign today. I think I�ll become in.�

And so she went in. And at that place she was, back in the long room with the little glass table. At in one case, she picked up the gold primal from the table, unlocked the picayune door into the garden, and so began to eat a piece of mushroom. When she was down to well-nigh thirty centimetres high, she walked through the door, and then, at last, she was in the beautiful garden with its green trees and bright flowers.

The Queen�s game of croquet

Due northear the door there was a rose-tree and iii gardeners, who were looking at the roses in a very worried way.

�What�due south the matter?� Alice said to them.

�You see, Miss,� said the first gardener, �these roses are white, simply the Queen but likes red roses, and she � �

�The Queen!� said the 2nd gardener suddenly, and at one time, the 3 gardeners lay downwards apartment on their faces. Alice turned circular and saw a great oversupply of people.

It was a pack of cards, walking through the garden. There were clubs (they were soldiers), and diamonds, and ten little children (they were hearts). Next came some Kings and Queens. And so 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 you?�

�My name is Alice, Your Majesty,� said Alice very politely. But she thought to herself, �They�re only a pack of cards. I don�t need to exist agape of them!�

�And who are these?� said the Queen, looking at the iii gardeners. And so she saw the white roses, and her face up turned blood-red and aroused. �Off with their heads!� she shouted, and soldiers hurried upward to take the gardeners abroad. The Queen turned to Alice. �Can you play croquet?� she shouted.

�Yes!� shouted Alice.

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

�It�s � it�s a very fine 24-hour interval,� said a worried vocalisation in her ear. Alice saw that the White Rabbit was by her side.

�Very fine,� said Alice. �Where�due south the Duchess?�

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

�What for?� said Alice.

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

It was the strangest game of croquet in Alice�south life! The balls were hedgehogs, and the mallets were flamingoes. And the hoops were fabricated past soldiers, who turned over and stood on their hands and anxiety. Alice held her flamingo�s body nether her arm, but the flamingo turned its long neck first this mode and then that way. At last, Alice was gear up to hit the ball with the flamingo�southward head. Simply by then, the hedgehog was tired of waiting and was walking away across the croquet-ground. And when both the flamingo and the hedgehog were prepare, at that place was no hoop! The soldiers likewise were ever getting up and walking away. It really was a very difficult game, Alice idea.

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

Alice began to feel worried. �The Queen is sure to argue with me presently,� she thought. �And what will happen to me then? They�re cutting people�due south heads off all the time here. I�1000 surprised there is anyone left live!�

Merely then she saw something very foreign. She watched carefully, and subsequently a minute or two she saw that the thing was a smiling. �It�s the Cheshire Cat,� she said to herself. �At present I�ll have somebody to talk to.�

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

Alice waited. �I tin�t talk to something without ears,� she thought. Slowly the True cat�s optics, then its ears, and then the rest of its head appeared. But it stopped at the neck, and its body did not appear.

Alice began to tell the True cat all well-nigh the game. �Information technology�due south very difficult to play,� she said. �Everybody argues all the fourth dimension, and the hoops and the hedgehogs walk away.�

�How do you similar the Queen?� said the Cat quietly.

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

The Queen smiled and walked past.

�Who are you talking to?� said the King. He came upwards behind Alice and looked at the Cat�south head in surprise.

�It�due south a friend of mine � a Cheshire Cat,� said Alice.

�I�k not sure that I like it,� said the Male monarch. �Merely it can touch my hand if information technology likes.�

�I prefer not to,� said the True cat.

�Well!� said the Male monarch angrily. He called out to the Queen, �My beloved! There�s a cat here, and I don�t like it.�

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

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

�I can�t cut off a caput,� said the executioner, �if there isn�t a trunk to cut information technology off from.�

�Yous can cut the head off,� said the King, �from anything that�southward got a caput.�

�If somebody doesn�t do something rapidly,� said the Queen, �I�ll cut everybody�south head off.�

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

�The Cat belongs to the Duchess,� said Alice carefully. �Perhaps you could ask her almost it.�

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

Simply and so the Cat�south caput slowly began to vanish, and when the executioner came back with the Duchess, there was nothing there. The King ran wildly up and down, looking for the Cat, and the Duchess put her arm round Alice. �I�m and then pleased to see you again, my dear!� she said.

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

The game went on, but all the time the Queen was arguing, and shouting �Off with his caput!� or �Off with her caput!� Presently there were no hoops left, because the soldiers (who were the hoops) were too busy taking everybody to prison house. And at the end at that place were only three players left � the King, the Queen, and Alice.

The Queen stopped shouting and said to Alice, �Have you seen the Mock Turtle even so?�

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

�Then come up with me,� said the Queen.

They found the Mock Turtle down past the sea. Adjacent to him was a Gryphon, asleep in the sun. Then the Queen hurried away, saying, �I take to get on with some executions.�

The Gryphon woke up, and said sleepily to Alice, �Information technology�s but talk, you know. They never execute anybody.�

Alice was pleased to hear this. She felt a little afraid of the Gryphon and the Mock Turtle, because they were then large. Only they were very friendly, and sang songs and told her many stories about their lives. The Mock Turtle was in the eye of a very sad song when they all heard a shout a long way away: �Information technology�southward beginning!�

�Come on! We must hurry!� cried the Gryphon. Information technology took Alice by 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 oversupply of birds and animals, and all the pack of cards.

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

In the middle of the room there was a tabular array, with a big plate of tarts on it. �They expect practiced,� idea Alice, who was feeling a footling hungry.

Then the White Rabbit chosen out loudly, �Silence! The trial of the Knave of Hearts will now begin!� He took out a long piece of newspaper, and read:

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

�Very adept,� said the King. �Call the starting time witness.�

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

Then the White Rabbit blew his trumpet three times, and called out, �Kickoff witness!�

The beginning witness was the Hatter. He came in with a teacup in one mitt and a piece of bread-and-butter in the other hand. �I�m very deplorable, 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 Male monarch said to the jury.

�I keep hats to sell,� explained the Hatter. �I don�t have a hat myself. I�m a Hatter.�

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

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

Merely and then Alice had a strange feeling. Afterward a infinitesimal or two she understood what it was.

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

�I�m very sorry,� Alice said politely. �I�thousand getting bigger and taller, you meet.�

�Well, you can�t exercise that here,� said the Dormouse crossly, and he got upwardly and moved to another seat.

The Hatter was even so giving evidence, but nobody could understand a word of information technology. The King looked at the Queen, and the Queen looked at the executioner.

The unhappy Hatter saw this, and dropped his bread-and-butter. �I�m a poor homo, Your Majesty,� he said again.

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

The side by side witness was the Duchess�s cook, who spoke very angrily and said that she would not give whatsoever evidence. The King looked worried and told the White Rabbit to phone call some other witness. Alice watched while the White Rabbit looked at the names on his piece of newspaper. And then, to her great surprise, he called out loudly, �Alice!�

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

�What practice you lot know about these tarts?� said the King.

�Zero,� said Alice.

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

�I�thou not a mile high,� said Alice. �And I won�t go out the room. I want to hear the evidence.�

�There is no more bear witness,� said the Rex very quickly, �and now the jury will � �

�Your Majesty!� said the White Rabbit, jumping up in a dandy hurry. �We�ve just found this letter. There�s no name on information technology, merely I call back the Knave wrote it.�

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

�Read information technology to us,� said the Male monarch.

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

�Begin at the commencement,� said the Male monarch, �and go on until you get to the end, then 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 thought I was a gardener,
Only said I could not swim.
�
�
He tells them that I have not gone,
(We know that this is truthful).
If she decides to hurry on,
What will they practice to y'all?
�
�
I gave her one, they gave him two,
Y'all gave united states of america three or more.
They all returned from him to you,
But they were mine before.
�

�That�s a very important piece of show,� said the Rex. He looked very pleased. �Now the jury must � �

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

The jury busily wrote this downwards. �She thinks it�s all nonsense.�

�All nonsense, eh?� said the King. He read some of the words once again. �But said I could not swim. You tin can�t swim, can y'all?� he said to the Knave.

The Knave�s face was sad. �Practise I look like a swimmer?� he said. (And he didn�t � because he was made of paper.)

The King 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.�

�What nonsense!� said Alice loudly. �The jury must decide first. Yous can�t � �

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

�I won�t!� said Alice.

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

�It doesn�t matter what you lot say,� said Alice. �You lot�re only a pack of cards!�

So the pack of cards flew upwardly into the sky and began to fall on Alice�due south face. She gave a fiddling scream � and woke upwardly. She was lying next to her sister under the trees, and some leaves were falling on her face.

�Wake up, Alice dear,� said her sister. �Yous�ve been asleep a long time.�

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