    The March Hare and the Hatter were having a mad tea party under a tree with a sleeping Dormouse. When Alice arrived, they cried that there was no room, though there was plenty. Alice sat down anyway. The March Hare offered her wine though there was none. They questioned whether she meant what she said in a nonsensical conversation about riddles and wordplay. The party then sat in silence as Alice tried to remember anything about ravens and writing desks.

    CHAPTER VII

    A MAD TEA-PARTY
    THERE was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and the
    March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it : a Dormouse was sitting
    between them, fast asleep, and the other two were using it as a cushion,
    resting their elbows on it, and talking over its head. “Very uncomfortable
    for the Dormouse,” thought Alice ; “only, as it ’s asleep, I suppose it
    doesn’t mind. ”The table was a large one, but the there were all crowded
    together at one corner of it :“No room ! No room !” they cried out when
    they saw Alice coming. “There’s plenty of room !” said Alice indignantly,
    and she sat down in a large arm-chair at one end of the table. “Have some
    wine,” the March Hare said in an encouraging tone. Alice looked all round
    the table, but there was nothing on it but tea. “I don ’t see any wine,” she
    remarked. “There isn’t any,” said the March Hare. “Then it wasn’t very
    civil of you to offer it,” said Alice angrily. “It wasn’t very civil of you to sit
    down without being invited,” said the March Hare.“ I didn’t know it was
    your table,” said Alice ; “it’s laid for a great many more than three.” “Your
    hair wants cutting,” said the Hatter. He had been looking at Alice for some
    time with great curiosity, and this was his first speech. “You should learn
    not to make personal remarks,” Alice said with some severity : “it’s very
    rude. The Hatter opened his eyes very wide on hearing this; but all he said
    was, “Why is a raven like a writing-desk ?” “Come, we shall have some
    fun now! ”thought Alice. “I’m glad they’ve begun asking riddles—I
    believe I can guess that,” she added aloud. “Do you mean that you think
    you can find out the answer to it ?” said the March Hare. “Exactly so,” said
    Alice. “Then you should say what you mean,” the March Hare went on. “I
    do,” Alice hastily replied; “at least—at least I mean what I say—that’s the
    same thing, you know.” “Not the same thing a bit!” said the Hatter. “Why,
    you might just as well say that ‘I see what I eat’ is the same thing as ‘I eat
    what I see’ !” “You might just as well say,” added the March Hare, “that ‘I
    like what I get’ is the same thing as ‘I get what I like’ !” “You might just as
    well say,” added the Dormouse, who seemed to be talking in his sleep,
    “that ‘I breathe when I sleep’ is the same thing as ‘I sleep when I breathe’!”
    “It is the same thing with you,” said the Hatter, and here the conversation
    dropped, and the party sat silent for a minute, while Alice thought over all
    she could remember about ravens and writing-desks, which wasn’t much.
    The Hatter was the first to break the silence.
