Two-Spot
May it please your Majesty, we were trying—
White Queen
[Examines rose.]
I see! Begone, or I’ll send the horses after you, and tell the Queen of Hearts.
[Gardeners rush off. The Red Queen enters. Alice has gone to the mushroom again to look at its sides and there to her amazement finds a gold crown and scepter, which she immediately appropriates. Music. The Queens watch Alice superciliously. Alice puts on her crown, proudly exclaiming in great elation, “Queen Alice,” and walks down stage bowing right and left to the homage of imaginary subjects. She repeats as if scarcely daring to believe it true, “Queen Alice.” Music stops.]
Ridiculous!
Alice
Isn’t this the Eighth Square?
