Alice5: It i is laid for more than three.

Hatter: Your hair wants cutting.

Alice5: Keep your personal remarks to yourself.

Alice5: What a funny watch! It tells the day of the month, and doesn't tell what o'clock it is!

Hatter: Why should it? Does YOUR watch tell you what year it is?

Alice5: Of course not!

Hatter: Which is just the case with MINE. It’s always six o’clock.

Alice5: Is that why all the tea things are out?

Hatter: We never get a chance to wash up.

twinkle little bat.)

Alice6: What is going on here?

Seven: Oh my! You scared us. I nearly lost a year of my life. I nearly became six again.
