Am I addressing the White Queen?
White Queen
Well, yes, if you call that a-dressing. It isn’t my notion of the thing, at all.
If your Majesty will only tell me the right way to begin, I’ll do it as well as I can.
White Queen
But I don’t want it done at all. I’ve been a-dressing myself for the last two hours.
Alice
Every single thing’s crooked, and you’re all over pins; may I put your shawl straight for you?
White Queen
