Ch 9 - The Mock Turtle's Story

The croquet game resumes after the Cheshire Cat has vanished, and the Duchess takes Alice's arm. The two begin to walk, and Alice becomes irritated by the Duchess's near proximity to her. The Duchess uses every opportunity to teach Alice different moral lessons as they walk and speak. They come across the Queen, who tells the Duchess to leave and asks Alice to resume the croquet game.
The Queen quickly reduces the croquet game to Alice, the King, and herself. Many of the other characters have been sentenced to death. When there are no more soldiers to pose as arches, the Queen calls a halt to the game and orders Alice to pay a visit to the Mock Turtle. The Queen takes Alice to the Gryphon, who leads her to the Mock Turtle. The Gryphon explains to Alice on the way that the Queen never kills anyone. When Alice first sees the Mock Turtle, she is worried because he seems to be sad.
The Mock Turtle starts his story by revealing that he used to be a real turtle. Every day, he went to sea school, where his instructor was an elderly turtle called Tortoise. He then goes on to explain his education, which he claims is the best available. Reeling and Writing, as well as Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision, were among the peculiar subjects he studied. When Alice inquires about the duration of the lessons, the Mock Turtle responds that they've become shorter with each passing year. This perplexes Alice, but the Mock Turtle explains that they were given the name lessons because they "lessen." When Alice inquires about what happened when there wasn't enough time for classes, the Gryphon shifts the conversation to sports.

Ch 12 - Alice's Evidence
The White Rabbit calls Alice to the witness stand. She forgets that she has risen in size and knocks over the jury table, scrambling to reassemble all of the jurors. Alice appears to know "absolutely nothing" about the tarts. Rule 42, which says, "All persons higher than a mile high must leave the court," is interjected by the King. Everyone's attention is drawn to Alice, who denies being a mile tall and accuses the King of making up the law. The King responds that Rule 42 is the book's oldest rule, but Alice counters that if it is the book's oldest rule, it should be the first rule.
As the debate continues, the Queen demands that the sentence be read before the verdict. Alice criticizes the Queen, who has called for Alice's execution. By then, Alice had reached her full size. Alice awakens unexpectedly and finds herself back on her sister's lap on the riverbank. She tells her sister about her adventures. Alice walks away, leaving her sister daydreaming on the riverbank. She sees the characters from Alice's adventures, but she knows the images will fade when she opens her eyes. She envisions that Alice will reach adulthood she will find pleasure in all their simple joys, remembering her own child-life.

Ch 11 - Who Stole The Tarts?
When Alice enters the courtroom, she discovers the King and Queen of Hearts sitting on their thrones, surrounded by a swarm of animals and the entire deck of cards. The Knave sits chained in front of them. Alice looks around the room, delighted in remembering the different features of a court of law that she has read about.
As a spokesman for the court, the White Rabbit reads the charge that the Knave of Hearts has stolen the Queen's tarts. With a teacup and a piece of bread and butter, the Mad Hatter appears as the first witness. The King asks the Hatter to take off his hat, but the Hatter refuses, saying that he does not own the hats and just sells them. As Alice observes, she notes that she has resumed her growth. The court session continues, and everyone continues to debate and have conflicting interests, the King orders the next witness to take the stand, and the White Rabbit summons Alice.

Ch 10 - The Lobster Quadrille
The Mock Turtle sighs and sobs some more before eventually asking Alice if she has ever seen a lobster. Alice comes close to saying she's had one, but she stops herself and clearly says no. The Lobster-Quadrille is described by the Mock Turtle and the Gryphon as a dance in which all sea animals (except jellyfish) join forces with lobsters, advance from the seashore, and throw the lobsters out to sea. Even though they don't have any lobsters, the Mock Turtle and Gryphon decide to show Alice the first figure of the Lobster-Quadrille.
The Mock Turtle sings a song about whiting and a snail as they dance. After they've finished dancing. The Mock Turtle sings "Turtle Soup" after Alice requests it. The Gryphon hears the cry and states"The trial has begun!" and whisks Alice away as the Mock Turtle finishes the tune.

Ch 8 - The Queen's Croquet Ground
When Alice enters the greenhouse, she encounters three card-shaped gardeners. While painting the white roses on the rose trees red, the gardeners' Two, Five, and Seven argue with each other. When the gardeners notice Alice, they explain that they have accidentally planted white rose trees and must paint them red before the Queen of Hearts notices. The Queen appears at that exact time, followed by a large number of living playing cards. The Queen inquires about the shivering gardeners but Alice saves the gardeners by hiding them in a flower pot and leaves to play croquet with the Queen. When Alice arrives at the croquet match, the White Rabbit tells her that the Duchess is facing execution for boxing the Queen's ears.
The Queen's peculiar version of croquet is proving difficult for Alice to adapt to. The Queen screams angrily for everyone's beheading as she plays. Alice tries to flee the croquet match, but the Cheshire Cat's smile catches her eye. When the Cheshire Cat inquires about her well-being, Alice starts to complain about the Queen's odd behavior. The King overhears the exchange and tries to bully the Cheshire Cat, but the Cheshire Cat refuses to respond to his teasing. The King becomes enraged and orders the Queen to take the Cheshire Cat away. The Queen orders its beheading carelessly, but the executioner and the King can't agree on how to kill the Cheshire Cat. They approach Alice, who recommends they seek advice from the Cheshire Cat's owner, the Duchess. The Cheshire Cat has disappeared completely by the time the Duchess arrives.
