I must do it myself, then.
Hush-a-by lady, in Alice’s lap!
Till the feast’s ready, we’ve time for a nap;
When the feast’s over, we’ll go to the ball—
Red Queen and White Queen and Alice and all!
And now you know the words.
[She puts her head on Alice’s other shoulder.]
Just sing it through to me. I’m getting sleepy too.
[Both queens fall fast asleep and snore loudly.]
Alice
What am I to do? Take care of two Queens asleep at once? Do wake up, you heavy things!
[All lights go out, leaving a mysterious glow on Alice and the queens.]
White Rabbit
