Mouse - Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Flashcards
(16 cards)
Oh, pardon me. I quite forgot you don’t like cats.
Would you like cats if you were me?
Perhaps not.
Indeed not.
You needn’t be rude. It was am honest mistake.
My mortal enemy, you dismiss as a mistake?
You speak a bit dramatically, don’t you think?
The dander, the claws, the teeth, the pounce, the hissssss. I think I speak with great restraint.
If only you met my cat, you would not speak so ill of cats. Dinah sits and purrs so nicely, licking her paws and washing her face - and she’s such a capital one for catching mice - Oh I do beg your pardon. We won’t talk about her more if you’d rather not.
We indeed. As if I would talk on such a subject. Our family always hated…. cats: nasty, low, vulgar things! Dinah, Dinah, Dinah! Don’t let me hear that name again!
We could have talked of something else. You needn’t run off like that.
I’m otherwise occupied, in case you hadn’t noticed.
Isn’t it obvious?
She’s not very bright and rather rude.
He’s not very bright either.
She’s not interested. Doesn’t seem to understand the simplest facts of things and talks of such unsavory subjects to boot.
I understand. You’re all running.
In a circle.
I see that.
Very quickly.
When you’re wet.
She’s not a bit polite, I tell you.
Tell us. that story. Tell us your tale.
You’ve heard it many times before.
We could use a bit of entertainment while we rest.
The entire thing?
Since she’s never heard it.
I’ll need some room. That means you too.
It’s his tail!
Fury said to a mouse, that he met in the house,
Let us both go to law. I will prosecute you.
Come, I’ll take no denial; we must have a trial.
For really this, morning I’ve had nothing to do.
Said the mouse to the cur.
Such a trial, dear sir, with no jury or judge.
would be wasting our breath.
I’ll be judge I’ll be jury
Said cunning old Fury
I’ll try the whole cause, and condemn you to death.
It’s going on a bit long.
What did I tell you? Just as I said. Rude, rude rude! I’ve no tome for someone barging in and then not understanding a thing as simple as the Caucus Race then complaining about the complimentary entertainment.
