‘No, no!’ said the Queen. ‘Off with his head! The jury can say what it thinks later.’
‘What nonsense!’ said Alice loudly. ‘The jury must decide first. You can’t – ‘
‘Be quiet!’ said the Queen, her face turning red.
‘I won’t! said Alice.
‘Off her head!’ screamed the Queen. Nobody moved.
‘It doesn’t matter what you say,’ said Alice. ‘You’re only a pack of cards!’
Then the pack of cards flew up into the sky and began to fall on Alice’s face. She gave a little scream ... and woke up. She was lying next to her sister under the trees, and some leaves were falling on her face.
‘Wake up, Alice dear,’ said her sister. ‘You’ve been asleep a long time.’
‘Oh, I’ve had a very curious dream!’ said Alice, and she told her sister all about the strange adventures in her wonderful dream.
