In the text → -
7·50 Alice asks the Dormouse a polite question, and the Hatter sneers an answer for it
In the text → -
7·51 The half-asleep Dormouse sits on the tablecloth and says "—well in" with a perfectly straight face.
In the text → -

In the text → -
7·54 The Hatter pinches the Dormouse, who wakes with a shriek and gabbles about M-words
