The Red Queen

"Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place"

"When you've once taken a king, you're bound to leave him or else you'll be killed by going upon the next square"

"Speak in French when you can't think of the English for a thing"

"It's very rude of him to sit there while we're all here"

"That's enough for one day, certainly"

"Curtsey while you're thinking what to say"

"It saves time"

"Hold up your head!"

"Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place."

"I dare say you've not had much practice."

"Stuff and nonsense!"

"You've only a few yards to go down the hill, and then you'll be at the Eighth Square—that's the end of the game."

"Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place."

"Speak when you're spoken to!"

"It's very rude of him to sit there while we're all talking."

"Off with their heads!"

"A queen ought to know better than to sleep during the game."

"That would never do!"
