Queen

[Seeing Alice stand out a moment from the others.]

Cut hers off! Cut hers off!

Others

[Glad to distract Queen’s attention from themselves.]

Cut hers off, cut hers off, cut—

Alice

[Cries in fear and takes a quick bite at the tart. If there is a trap door on the stage Alice disappears down it, leaving the crowd circling around the hole screaming and amazed. If the stage has no trap door, a bridge is built across the footlights with stairs leading down into the orchestra pit. When the crowd is chasing Alice she jumps over the footlights onto the bridge and as the curtain is falling dividing her from the crowd she appeals to the audience, “Save me, save me, who will save me?” and runs down the stairs and disappears.]
