Reading Notes: Alice in Wonderland, Part B.

Who Stole the Tarts?

The Court

This was the first time Alice attended the court, with the Queen and the King on their throne, but she knew every position in that court including the jury and the judge through her knowledge. The court was held to find the thief. Alice heard the Rabbit called out loud for the witnesses. 

The first one was Hatter, who brought his breakfast to the court (a cup of tea and bread). The king almost executed him because he couldn't answer the king's question but luckily he got released. The second witness was the Duchess's cook. Alice knew it was her because everyone sneezed at the same time while she walked in because she brought with her the pepper box. 

In the middle of the session, the Dormouse made a noise and therefore being suppress by the Queen causing confusion for everyone. During the court, Alice was growing back to her normal size but it wasn't that noticeable. Suddenly she heard the Rabbit called out the next witness, which was her, Alice.
