Our continuing story, of the Adventures of Alice in Wonderland
From Mr. Pete
With the beginning of Chapter 12 - The Thief of Tarts
First continuing a little bit from yesterday...
... A huge crowd had gathered around them—all kinds of birds and animals, as well as the whole pack of cards.
The Knave, who was in chains, stood in front of the King and Queen, with a soldier on each side to make sure he wouldn't escape. The White Rabbit was near the King and he had a trumpet in one hand, and a rolled-up piece of paper in the other.
There was a table that stood in the middle of the court with a dish of tarts, or small round fruit pies. They looked delicious and wonderful. Alice wanted to eat them suddenly.
"I wish they'd hurry up and finish the trial," Alice thought, thinking about how hungry she was, "and start giving everyone food and drinks." But she knew there was no chance of this, so she began looking about her to take her mind off how hungry she was.
Continuing tomorrow with more of Chapter 12 - The Thief of Tarts
