"Then it wasn't po-lite of you to ask me to have wine," said Al-ice.

"It wasn't po-lite of you to sit down when no one had asked you to have a seat," said the March Hare.

"I didn't know it was your ta-ble," said Al-ice; "it's laid for more than three."

"You should learn not to speak to a guest like that," said Al-ice; "it is ve-ry rude."

"Do you mean that you think you can find out the an-swer to it?" asked the March Hare.

"I do," said Al-ice.
