I speak severely to my boy,
I beat him when he sneezes;

[Frog sneezes, Alice sneezes.]

For he can thoroughly enjoy
The pepper when he pleases!”

[Duchess sneezes, Frog sneezes, Alice sneezes, Duchess gasps and gives a tremendous sneeze.]

Alice

Oh dear!

[She jumps aside as kettles and pots come flying out of the door. The Duchess pays no attention.]

What a cook to have!

[She calls inside.]

Oh! please mind what you’re doing!
