108 A MAD TEA-PARTY.
“T want a clean cup,” interrupted the Hatter :
“let’s all move one place on.”
He moved on as he spoke, and the Dormouse
followed him: the March Hare moved into the
Dormouse’s place, and Alice rather unwillingly
took the place of the March Hare. Lhe Hatter
was the only one who got any advantage from
the change: aud Alice was a good deal worse off
than before, as the March Hare had just upset
the milk-jug into his plate.
Alice did not wish to offend the Dormouse
again, so she began very cautiously: “ But I
dont understand. Where did they draw the
treacle from 2 ”
“You can draw water out of a water-well,”
said the Hatter ;“so I should think you. could
draw treacle out of a treacle-well—ch, stupid ?”
“But they were i the well,’ Alice said to
the Dormouse, not choosing to notice this last
remark.
“Of course they were,’ said the Dormouse,—
‘ well in.”
