The Queen turned crimson with fury! she glared angrily at Alice, for a second and roared, “Off with her head!" like the roar of a wild panther. was Alice in danger?
to be continued.
Alice announced, very loudly and decidedly, “Nonsense!” the Queen was tamed silent and did not respond. The King laid his hand on her arm, and timidly said “Consider, my dear, she is only a child.” The Queen turned angrily away from him, and ordered the Knave, “Turn them over.” he very carefully did, with one foot. "stand up!” she ordered. in a shrill, loud voice. the three clovers instantly jumped up, and began bowing to the King, the Queen, and even to the royal children, “stop that!” screamed the Queen and turning to the rose-tree, she continued, “What have you been doing here?”
"your Majesty,” began Two, in a very humble tone, going down on one knee as he spoke, “we were trying...” the Queen, who had meanwhile been examining the roses, interrupted, “I see.” next she ordered, “Off with their heads!” lastly, the parade moved forward. three of the diamond soldiers remained to execute the gardeners, who ran to Alice for protection. she announced, “You shan’t be beheaded!” she put them into a large flowerpot that stood nearby. The three soldiers quietly wandered about for awhile, looking for them. then they marched off to reach the Queen. she loudly asked, “Are their heads off?” shouting. “Their heads are gone, if it please your Majesty,” the soldiers replied together. she asked alice in rhyme, “Can you play croquet?” she answered, “Yes.” she ordered, “Come.” Alice joined her, very curious what would happen next. somebody said, “It’s, it’s a very fine day.” the timid voice, at her side was the White Rabbit's. he was walking by her and was looking at her face.
she said, “Very, where’s the Duchess?”
“Hush! Hush!” said the white Rabbit in a low tone. He looked anxiously over his shoulder as he spoke, and then raised himself up on tiptoe, put his mouth close to her ear, and whispered “She’s sentenced to die.” Alice asked, “What for?”
“Did you say ‘What a pity!’?” the Rabbit asked [editors note: notice the clever series of symbols! "pity!'?""]. she replied, “No, I didn’t. I don’t think it’s a pity. I said ‘What for?’” it began to explain, “She boxed the Queen’s ears...” Alice burst out laughing at the absurdity. “Oh, hush!” the Rabbit whispered in a frightened tone. “The Queen will hear you!” the Queen "thundered", “Go to your places!” people ran in all directions. they bumped against each other, some falling down. finally they came to the places and started the game. the ground had many ridges and furrows instead of smooth for rolling. the game balls were live hedgehogs. the mallets were live flamingoes! the cards folded themselves, arching up on their hands and feet, to be the arches.
Alice overcame many challenges, that prevented her playing. her flamingo was always moving. she was VERY curious how the other players managed. she was extremely careful to copy them by tucking its body under her arm. next she straightened its neck. before she could hit the hedgehog-ball, using its head, it turned to look with such a funny expression that alice could not stop laughing. when she pushed the bird's head down, the hedgehog unrolled itself, and began crawling away. anyway, the ground was not smooth instead a bump or a hole would have blocked it wherever she wanted it to go. the arch cards were also always moving. The players all played at the same time instead of waiting for turns. the game was too confusing and too difficult.
the Queen was angrily shouting “Off with his head!” or “Off with her head!” almost every minute. Alice began to feel extremely worried about the killing of many people. she asked a card, "how is anybody left alive?!” he pointed at the king, mysteriously. it hurried to be the arch where the queen's hedgehog was rolling [credit disney]. She looked about for a way for leaving unseen. she saw something appear in the air: it was... a grin of the Cheshire Cat. it asked, “How are you?” Alice waited a minute for its eyes to appear. she doubted, what if it was moving from another place? if its ears are still in THAT PLACE then speaking to it would be fruitless till its ears came, or at the very least one of them. it appeared slowly and gradualy as she had requested.
In another minute the whole head appeared. Alice put down her flamingo. this was an excellent opportunity for a conversation. she began to tell it what happened during the game. she felt "very glad that she had somebody willing to listen to her." The Cat stopped appearing so no more of it appeared. she started complaining, “they dont play fairly. they quarrel so louldy. they violate rules, maybe they lack rules? the things are alive," she added pointing at her flamingo that was wandering away. "the arch, that i need next, for my hedgehog to go through, is walking far, there. i almost croqueted the Queen’s hedgehog, but it ran away when it saw mine coming.”
“do you like the Queen?” it asked in a low voice. alice answered, “Not at all, she’s so...” she stopped talking when she noticed that the Queen was nearby. maybe she could hear so she concluded, “...likely to win, that it’s hardly worth the time finishing the game.” The Queen smiled as she passed. the king asked Alice, “Who are you talking to?” he came near her and was looking at the Cat’s face with great curiosity. she replied, “It’s my friend a Cat."
“I don’t like its appearance,” he said, “kiss my hand.” the King extended his hand toward it. it responded, "I’d rather not.” he complained, “Don’t look at me that way.” He moved and hid behind Alice as he spoke. he called the Queen, “My dear! I wish you would order this cat removed” The Queen had only one way for any issue: “Off with his head.” he agreed eagerly, “I’ll bring the executioner myself.” he hurried away. meanwhile, Alice went to search for her hedgehog. she heard the Queen’s voice screaming. even for missing their turns the Queen already decreed death. she risked this DANGER too, not knowing whether it was her turn or not. her hedgehog was fighting another hedgehog. Alice would have croqueted one of them with the other, but her flamingo was far away across the garden. she watched it trying to fly up into a tree. she caught it and carried it back... but by then both hedgehogs had left. no arches were nearby either. she went to the Cat.
she felt surprised when she found a large crowd around it. the Executioner, King, and Queen were all arguing at the same time. all the rest listened silently and showed they felt very worried. Alice neared, so the trio begd her to decide: she had difficulty hearing due to them talking at the same time. The executioner claimed he can’t cut off a head, unless it was with a body to cut it OFF from: never had he cut a head without a body and he wasn’t willing to start a new change. The King argued that anything that had a head could simply "be beheaded." so simply cut in the usual place without talking nonsense. The Queen’s argument was, don't delay. if something wasn’t done she’d order everybody all round, killed. the listeners showed their anxiety. Alice wanted her friend alive so she declared “It belongs to the Duchess. first ask her.”
“She’s in prison,” somebody said. the Queen had said this to the executioner and continued “fetch her here.” he went fast like an arrow.
The Cat’s head began fading slowly, as alice had requested. before he led the Duchess to the queen, it had entirely vanished. the King and the executioner ran wildly about the field, looking for it. the rest continued the game, while alice watched.
