1Alice's Evidence "Here!" cried Alice, quite forgetting in the flurry of the moment how large she had grown in the last
2few minutes, and she jumped up in such a hurry that she tipped over the jury-box with the edge of her skirt, upsetting
3all the jurymen on to the heads of the crowd below, and there they lay sprawling about, reminding her very much of a
4globe of goldfish she had accidentally upset the week before. "Oh, I beg your pardon!" she exclaimed in a tone of great
5dismay, and began picking them up again as quickly as she could, for the accident of the goldfish kept running in her
6head, and she had a vague sort of idea that they must be collected at once and put back into the jury-box, or they would
7die. "The trial cannot proceed," said the King in a very grave voice, "until all the jurymen are back in their proper
8places--all," he repeated with great emphasis, looking hard at Alice as he said so. Alice looked at the jury-box, and
9saw that, in her haste, she had put the Lizard in head downwards, and the poor little thing was waving its tail about in
10a melancholy way, being quite unable to move. She soon got it out again, and put it right; "not that it signifies much,"
11she said to herself; "I should think it would be quite as much use in the trial one way up as the other." As soon as the
12jury had a little recovered from the shock of being upset, and their slates and pencils had been found and handed back
13to them, they set to work very diligently to write out a history of the accident, all except the Lizard, who seemed too
14much overcome to do anything but sit with its mouth open, gazing up into the roof of the court. "What do you know about
15this business?" the King said to Alice. "Nothing," said Alice. "Nothing whatever?" persisted the King. "Nothing
16whatever," said Alice. "That's very important," the King said, turning to the jury. They were just beginning to write
17this down on their slates, when the White Rabbit interrupted: "Unimportant, your Majesty means, of course," he said in a
18very respectful tone, but frowning and making faces at him as he spoke. "Unimportant, of course, I meant," the King
19hastily said, and went on to himself in an undertone, "important--unimportant--unimportant--important--" as if he were
20trying which word sounded best. Some of the jury wrote it down "important," and some "unimportant." Alice could see
21this, as she was near enough to look over their slates; "but it doesn't matter a bit," she thought to herself. At this
22moment the King, who had been for some time busily writing in his note-book, cackled out "Silence!" and read out from
23his book, "Rule Forty-two. All persons more than a mile high to leave the court." Everybody looked at Alice. "I'm not a
24mile high," said Alice. "You are," said the King. "Nearly two miles high," added the Queen. "Well, I shan't go, at any
25rate," said Alice: "besides, that's not a regular rule: you invented it just now." "It's the oldest rule in the book,"
26said the King. "Then it ought to be Number One," said Alice. The King turned pale, and shut his note-book hastily.
27"Consider your verdict," he said to the jury, in a low, trembling voice. "There's more evidence to come yet, please your
28Majesty," said the White Rabbit, jumping up in a great hurry; "this paper has just been picked up." "What's in it?" said
29the Queen. "I haven't opened it yet," said the White Rabbit, "but it seems to be a letter, written by the prisoner
30to--to somebody." "It must have been that," said the King, "unless it was written to nobody, which isn't usual, you
31know." "Who is it directed to?" said one of the jurymen. "It isn't directed at all," said the White Rabbit; "in fact,
32there's nothing written on the outside." He unfolded the paper as he spoke, and added "It isn't a letter, after all:
33it's a set of verses." "Are they in the prisoner's handwriting?" asked another of the jurymen. "No, they're not," said
34the White Rabbit, "and that's the queerest thing about it." (The jury all looked puzzled.) "He must have imitated
35somebody else's hand," said the King. (The jury all brightened up again.) "Please your Majesty," said the Knave, "I
36didn't write it, and they can't prove I did: there's no name signed at the end." "If you didn't sign it," said the King,
37"that only makes the matter worse. You must have meant some mischief, or else you'd have signed your name like an honest
38man." There was a general clapping of hands at this: it was the first really clever thing the King had said that day.
39"That proves his guilt," said the Queen. "It proves nothing of the sort!" said Alice. "Why, you don't even know what
40they're about!" "Read them," said the King. The White Rabbit put on his spectacles. "Where shall I begin, please your
41Majesty?" he asked. "Begin at the beginning," the King said gravely, "and go on till you come to the end: then stop."
42These were the verses the White Rabbit read:-- "They told me you had been to her, And mentioned me to him: She gave me a
43good character, But said I could not swim. He sent them word I had not gone (We know it to be true): If she should push
44the matter on, What would become of you? I gave her one, they gave him two, You gave us three or more; They all returned
45from him to you, Though they were mine before. If I or she should chance to be Involved in this affair, He trusts to you
46to set them free, Exactly as we were. My notion was that you had been (Before she had this fit) An obstacle that came
47between Him, and ourselves, and it. Don't let him know she liked them best, For this must ever be A secret, kept from
48all the rest, Between yourself and me." "That's the most important piece of evidence we've heard yet," said the King,
49rubbing his hands; "so now let the jury--" "If any one of them can explain it," said Alice, (she had grown so large in
50the last few minutes that she wasn't a bit afraid of interrupting him,) "I'll give him sixpence. I don't believe there's
51an atom of meaning in it." The jury all wrote down on their slates, "She doesn't believe there's an atom of meaning in
52it," but none of them attempted to explain the paper. "If there's no meaning in it," said the King, "that saves a world
53of trouble, you know, as we needn't try to find any. And yet I don't know," he went on, spreading out the verses on his
54knee, and looking at them with one eye; "I seem to see some meaning in them, after all. "--said I could not swim--" you
55can't swim, can you?" he added, turning to the Knave. The Knave shook his head sadly. "Do I look like it?" he said.
56(Which he certainly did not, being made entirely of cardboard.) "All right, so far," said the King, and he went on
57muttering over the verses to himself: "'We know it to be true--' that's the jury, of course--'I gave her one, they gave
58him two--' why, that must be what he did with the tarts, you know--" "But, it goes on 'they all returned from him to
59you,'" said Alice. "Why, there they are!" said the King triumphantly, pointing to the tarts on the table. "Nothing can
60be clearer than that. Then again--'before she had this fit--' you never had fits, my dear, I think?" he said to the
61Queen. "Never!" said the Queen furiously, throwing an inkstand at the Lizard as she spoke. (The unfortunate little Bill
62had left off writing on his slate with one finger, as he found it made no mark; but he now hastily began again, using
63the ink, that was trickling down his face, as long as it lasted.) "Then the words don't fit you," said the King, looking
64round the court with a smile. There was a dead silence. "It's a pun!" the King added in an offended tone, and everybody
65laughed, "Let the jury consider their verdict," the King said, for about the twentieth time that day. "No, no!" said the
66Queen. "Sentence first--verdict afterwards." "Stuff and nonsense!" said Alice loudly. "The idea of having the sentence
67first!" "Hold your tongue!" said the Queen, turning purple. "I won't!" said Alice. "Off with her head!" the Queen
68shouted at the top of her voice. Nobody moved. "Who cares for you?" said Alice, (she had grown to her full size by this
69time.) "You're nothing but a pack of cards!"
