Seven flung down his brush, and had just begun \u2018Well, of all the unjust things\u2014\u2019 when his eye chanced to fall upon Alice, as she stood watching them, and he checked himself suddenly: the others looked round also, and all of them bowed low. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Five and Seven said nothing, but looked at Two. Two began in a low voice, \u2018Why the fact is, you see, Miss, this here ought to have been a red<\/em> rose-tree, and we put a white one in by mistake; and if the Queen was to find it out, we should all have our heads cut off, you know. So you see, Miss, we\u2019re doing our best, afore she comes, to\u2014\u2019 At this moment Five, who had been anxiously looking across the garden, called out \u2018The Queen! The Queen!\u2019 and the three gardeners instantly threw themselves flat upon their faces. There was a sound of many footsteps, and Alice looked round, eager to see the Queen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “Alice recognized the White Rabbit: it was talking in a hurried nervous manner, smiling at everything that was said, and went by without noticing her.”<\/p>\nAlice in Wonderland<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n \n First came ten soldiers carrying clubs; these were all shaped like the\n three gardeners, oblong and flat, with their hands and feet at the\n corners: next the ten courtiers; these were ornamented all over with\n diamonds, and walked two and two, as the soldiers did. After these came\n the royal children; there were ten of them, and the little dears came\n jumping merrily along hand in hand, in couples: they were all ornamented\n with hearts. Next came the guests, mostly Kings and Queens, and among them\n Alice recognised the White Rabbit: it was talking in a hurried nervous\n manner, smiling at everything that was said, and went by without noticing\n her. Then followed the Knave of Hearts, carrying the King\u2019s crown on a\n crimson velvet cushion; and, last of all this grand procession, came THE\n KING AND QUEEN OF HEARTS.\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n \n Alice was rather doubtful whether she ought not to lie down on her face\n like the three gardeners, but she could not remember ever having heard of\n such a rule at processions; \u2018and besides, what would be the use of a\n procession,\u2019 thought she, \u2018if people had all to lie down upon their faces,\n so that they couldn\u2019t see it?\u2019 So she stood still where she was, and\n waited.\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n \n When the procession came opposite to Alice, they all stopped and looked at\n her, and the Queen said severely \u2018Who is this?\u2019 She said it to the Knave\n of Hearts, who only bowed and smiled in reply.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Seven flung down his brush, and had just begun \u2018Well, of all the unjust things\u2014\u2019 when his eye chanced to fall upon Alice, as she stood watching them, and he checked himself suddenly: the others…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":46,"featured_media":8319,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[151,152],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-159","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tips-advice","category-work"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/littlethemeshop.com\/fairy-boss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/littlethemeshop.com\/fairy-boss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/littlethemeshop.com\/fairy-boss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/littlethemeshop.com\/fairy-boss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/46"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/littlethemeshop.com\/fairy-boss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=159"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/littlethemeshop.com\/fairy-boss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/littlethemeshop.com\/fairy-boss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8319"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/littlethemeshop.com\/fairy-boss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=159"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/littlethemeshop.com\/fairy-boss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=159"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/littlethemeshop.com\/fairy-boss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=159"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
