Reading notes: Alice in Wonderland part b

•  there was a table in front of the house with the hatter and the hare, and the dormouse was resting on a cushion 
• all 3 were at one end of the table so alice sat down at the other end 
• alice started arguing with the hare and the hatter about various things 
• she told the hatter it was weird that his watch didn't say the time, and he said it was because it stays the same time for so long 
• alice could not figure out the riddle that the hare asked her so she told him to do something better with his time 
• he said that time would do anything with the clock if they asked, like freeze or speed up time 
• time had to stop changing the clock because the queen ordered his execution 
• they grew tired of talking about the time so they had the dormouse tell them a story 
• alice kept interrupting the dormouse's story 
• they were being rude so she left and came across a tree with a door 
• it brought her back to the original room and she unlocked the door and went into the garden
• in the garden there were 3 gardeners painting the roses red and arguing 
• she asked why they were painting them when the queen came in
• the queen asked who she was and asked about the gardeners to which she refused to respond and the queen threatened to behead her 
• the queen called to behead the gardeners but alice saved them 
• the queen asked alice to join her for croquet 
• the white rabbit told her that the duchess was to be executed
• the game of croquet was played with live animals and everyone was fighting for turns so the queen kept calling for people to be beheaded 
• she found the Cheshire cat and talked to it 
• the king told the queen to execute the cat for not kissing his hand 
• they were all arguing because the cat didn't have a body to behead but the king wanted the executioner to do it anyway 
• alice said that the duchess should settle it 
• they all came to the court with the duchess to do a trial 
• the king was the judge and animals were the jurors 
• the hatter came in for a testimony 
• alice started to grow back to her original size during the testimony 
• the hatter could not give the testimony because he was too nervous so the king threatened to execute him 
• they let him go and he was far out of sight before he could be executed 
• the cook came in and the king asked her what was in tarts and she said pepper so he dismissed her
