- 'Fury[5] said to a
- mouse, That he
- met in the
- house,
- “Let us
- both go to
- law: I will
- prosecute
- YOU.-Come,
- I'll take no
- denial; We
- must have a
- trial: For
- really this
- morning I've
- nothing
- to do.”
- Said the
- mouse to the
- cur[6], “Such
- a trial,
- dear Sir,
- With
- no jury
- or judge,
- would be
- wasting
- our
- breath.”
- “I'll be
- judge, I'll
- be jury,”
- Said
- cunning
- old Fury:
- “I'll
- try the
- whole
- cause,
- and
- condemn
- you
- to
- death.”'
'It is a long tail, certainly,' said Alice, she looked at the Mouse's tail; 'but why do you call it sad?'
“I shall not tell you,” said the Mouse. It got up and walked away.
“Please come back and tell us your tale,” called Alice; and all joined in, “Yes, please do!”
But the Mouse shook its head.
'You are not listening!' said the Mouse to Alice severely. 'What are you thinking of? You are always talking nonsense!' and was soon out of sight.
“Oh, where is my Dinah?” said Alice. “Dinah can bring her back.”
“And who is Dinah, if I may ask such a thing?” said one of the birds.
Alice was glad to talk about her pet.
“Dinah is our cat; and it catches mice very fast. Moreover, Dinah catches birds even faster! And it eats them at once!”
These words caused a great stir in the party. The birds rushed off; they were saying, “We must get home, it's late, it's time to sleep”.
Everybody went home, and Alice was soon alone. Poor Alice began to cry again, because she felt very lonely. Suddenly she heard some noise.
Chapter IV
The Rabbit Sends in a Little Bill
It was the White Rabbit, he was looking anxiously around and muttering to itself 'The Duchess! The Duchess! She'll get my head cut off! Oh my dear paws! Oh my fur and whiskers! Where did I lose them, I wonder?' Alice guessed in a moment that the Rabbit was looking for the fan and the pair of white gloves, but everything changed, and the great hall, with the glass table and the little door, vanished completely.
Very soon the Rabbit noticed Alice, and told her in an angry tone, 'Why, Mary Ann, what are you doing here? Run home, and bring me a pair of gloves and a fan! Quick, now!'
