ALICE IN WONDERLAND
Part 3
Before the court building where Alice ran to, a crowd was gathering.
Make way for the Duchess! Make way for the Duchess!
You dear thing, you can't think how glad I am to make your acquaintance.
She is not mean at all.
Why is the Rabbit so afraid of her?
She must be so nice because of the doughnut.
Doughnuts make people sweet-tempered. I seem to have found a new kind of rule!
Vinegar makes people sour.
Camomile makes them bitter.
Pepper makes them hot-tempered.
I only wish people knew that!
Then they wouldn't be so stingy about doughnuts.
You're lost in thoughts, my dear, and that makes you forget to talk.
I can't tell you just now what the moral of that is, but I shall remember it in a bit.
Perhaps it hasn't one.
Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it.
Flamingoes and mustard both bite.
And the moral of that is: birds of a feather flock together.
Mustard is a mineral, I think.
Right, as usual. What a clear way of putting things!
Of course, it is a mineral!
There's a large mustard-mine near here.
And the moral of that is:
The more there is of mine, the less there is of yours.
Oh, I know! Mustard is a vegetable.
How fond she is of finding morals in things!
I quite agree with you.
And the moral of that is:
Be what you would seem to be.
Or if you'd like it put more simply -
Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others
that what you were or might have been was not otherwise
than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.
Silence in the court!
Alice had never been in a court of justice before, but she read about it.
She was quite pleased to find that she knew the name of nearly everything here.
“Those must be the jurors,” thought Alice.
“And that's the judge, because of his great wig.”
The Duchess saw the Queen and began to tremble.
And in a moment, she was gone.
Herald, read the accusation!
The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts,
All on a summer day.
The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts,
And took them quite away!
Consider your verdict.
Not yet, not yet! There's a great deal to come before that.
The Rabbit got scared of his own audacity.
To say “no“ to the Queen herself!
First witness!
I beg pardon, your Majesty, I... I'm a poor man.
Give your evidence, and don't be nervous, or I'll have you executed on the spot.
- I hadn't finished my tea when... - Get to the point.
I'm a poor man.
I keep thinking of the bygone days.
Days.
Dumb like a dunce.
Perhaps, we shall make him dance?
Well, it's a play upon words.
Next witness, the March Hare!
I didn't say anything.
He denies it, doesn't he?
I didn't think anything.
Suppress him!
Alice had read in the newspapers: “The attempts at resistance were suppressed.”
Now she understood what it meant.
At this moment, Alice felt a very curious sensation.
She realized she was growing larger again.
Alice decided to remain where she was as long as there was room for her.
Next witness, Alice!
Here!
Oh, I beg your pardon!
What do you know about this business?
Nothing.
What? Nothing whatever?
Nothing whatever.
That's very important.
Unimportant, your Majesty means, of course.
Unimportant, of course, I meant.
Unimportant, of course, unimportant.
Important... Unimportant... Unimportant... Important...
There's more evidence to come yet, please your Majesty.
This paper has just been picked up.
What's in it?
I haven't read it yet, but it seems to be a letter written by the prisoner to somebody.
Who is it directed to?
It isn't directed at all. There's nothing written on the outside.
Is it in the prisoner's handwriting?
No, and that's the queerest thing about it.
The Knave must have imitated somebody else's hand.
Please your Majesty,
I didn't write it.
There's no name signed at the end.
That's even worse.
You must have meant some mischief, or else you'd have signed your name
like an honest man.
That proves his guilt.
It proves nothing of the sort! Why, you don't even know what it's about.
Read it.
Of course, she has the fits of rave Whenever she gets bolder.
But, see, it's not altogether safe To cut straight from the shoulder.
To cut from the shoulder?
Have I ever cut straight from the shoulder?
Never!
I cut off heads from the shoulders, never from one shoulder!
It's a pun!
Let the jury consider their verdict.
No, no! Sentence first.
Verdict afterwards.
Stuff and nonsense!
- Hold your tongue! - I won't!
Off with her head!
Who cares for you?
You're nothing but a pack of cards!
“What a curious dream I've had,” thought Alice, and she ran home, not to be late for tea.
In the future, she would be a grown woman
and, keeping the simple and loving heart of her childhood,
would tell other children about Wonderland
and remember her own childhood
and the happy summer days.
