[_The curtain rises to show ALICE still asleep in the armchair, the fire in the grate suffusing her with its glow._]

CARROLL

Wake up, Alice, it is time for tea.

[_Off stage the characters repeat their most characteristic lines, "Off with her head," "Consider your verdict," "Oh! my fur and whiskers"; the DUCHESS sneezes, the cat cries, as if the characters were fading away into the pack of real playing cards which shower through the mirror all over ALICE. There is music._]

ALICE

[_Wakes, rises, and looks about in surprise and wonderment._]

Why----it was a dream!
