` Now we shall get on better . ' ` I 'd rather finish my tea , ' said the Hatter , with an anxious look at the Queen , who was reading the list of singers . ` You may go , ' said the King , and the Hatter hurriedly left the court , without even waiting to put his shoes on . ' -- and just take his head off outside , ' the Queen added to one of the officers : but the Hatter was out of sight before the officer could get to the door . ` Call the next witness ! ' said the King . The next witness was the Duchess 's cook . She carried the pepper-box in her hand , and Alice guessed who it was , even before she got into the court , by the way the people near the door began sneezing all at once . ` Give your evidence , ' said the King . ` Sha n't , ' said the cook . The King looked anxiously at the White Rabbit , who said in a low voice , ` Your Majesty must cross-examine THIS witness . ' ` Well , if I must , I must , ' the King said , with a melancholy air , and , after folding his arms and frowning at the cook till his eyes were nearly out of sight , he said in a deep voice , ` What are tarts made of ? ' ` Pepper , mostly , ' said the cook . ` Treacle , ' said a sleepy voice behind her . ` Collar that Dormouse , ' the Queen shrieked out . ` Behead that Dormouse ! Turn that Dormouse out of court ! Suppress him ! Pinch him ! Off with his whiskers ! '
For some minutes the whole court was in confusion , getting the Dormouse turned out , and , by the time they had settled down again , the XXXXX had disappeared .
