'Let the jury consider their verdict,' the King said, for

 about the twentieth time that day.

'No, no!' said the Queen. 'Sentence first -- verdict afterwards.'

'Stuff and nonsense!' said Alice loudly. 'The idea of having the

sentence first!'

'Hold your tongue!' said the Queen, turning purple.

'I won't!' said Alice.

'Off with her head!' the Queen shouted at the top of her voice.

Nobody moved.

'Who cares for you?' said Alice, (she had grown to her full size by

this time.) 'You're nothing but a pack of cards!'

The White rabbit fumbled over the list

The Text:

Alice watched the White Rabbit as he fumbled over the list, feeling

very curious to see what the next witness would be like, ' -- for

they haven't got much evidence YET,' she said to herself. Imagine

her surprise, when the White Rabbit read out, at the top of his shrill

little voice, the name 'Alice!'

The Cook says "shan't"

The text:

The next witness was the Duchess's cook. She carried the pepper-

box in her hand, and Alice guessed who it was, even before she got

into the court, by the way the people near the door began sneezing

all at once.

 'Give your evidence,' said the King.

'Shan't,' said the cook.

The King looked anxiously at the White Rabbit, who said in a low

voice, 'Your Majesty must cross-examine THIS witness.'

'Well, if I must, I must,' the King said, with a melancholy air, and,

after folding his arms and frowning at the cook till his eyes were

nearly out of sight, he said in a deep voice, 'What are tarts made

of?'

The hatter bit his teacup

The text:

 'Take off your hat,' the King said to the Hatter.

 'It isn't mine,' said the Hatter.

'Stolen!' the King exclaimed, turning to the jury, who instantly made

a memorandum of the fact.

 'I keep them to sell,' the Hatter added as an explanation; 'I've none

of my own. I'm a hatter.'

Here the Queen put on her spectacles, and began staring at the

Hatter, who turned pale and fidgeted.

'Give your evidence,' said the King; 'and don't be nervous, or I'll

have you executed on the spot.'

This did not seem to encourage the witness at all: he kept shifting

from one foot to the other, looking uneasily at the Queen, and in his

confusion he bit a large piece out of his teacup instead of the bread-

and-butter.

'Beautiful soup'

Soo -- oop of the e -- e -- evening,

Beautiful, beauti -- FUL SOUP!'

Alice recalls her adventures to the Mock Turtle

The text:

So Alice began telling them her adventures from the time when she

first saw the White Rabbit. She was a little nervous about it just at

first, the two creatures got so close to her, one on each side, and

opened their eyes and mouths so VERY wide, but she gained

courage as she went on. Her listeners were perfectly quiet till she

got to the part about her repeating 'YOU ARE OLD, FATHER

WILLIAM,' to the Caterpillar, and the words all coming different,

and then the Mock Turtle drew a long breath, and said 'That's very

curious.'
