he went on , putting his arm affectionately round Hatta 's neck . Hatta looked round and nodded , and went on with his bread and butter . ` Were you happy in prison , dear child ? ' said Haigha . Hatta looked round once more , and this time a tear or two trickled down his cheek : but not a word would he say . ` Speak , ca n't you ! ' Haigha cried impatiently . But Hatta only munched away , and drank some more tea . ` Speak , wo n't you ! ' cried the King . ` How are they getting on with the fight ? ' Hatta made a desperate effort , and swallowed a large piece of bread-and-butter . ` They 're getting on very well , ' he said in a choking voice : ` each of them has been down about eighty-seven times . ' ` Then I suppose they 'll soon bring the white bread and the brown ? ' Alice ventured to remark . ` It 's waiting for 'em now , ' said Hatta : ` this is a bit of it as I 'm eating . ' There was a pause in the fight just then , and the Lion and the Unicorn sat down , panting , while the King called out ` Ten minutes allowed for refreshments ! ' Haigha and Hatta set to work at once , carrying rough trays of white and brown bread . Alice took a piece to taste , but it was VERY dry . ' I do n't think they 'll fight any more to-day , ' the King said to Hatta : ` go and order the drums to begin . '
And XXXXX went bounding away like a grasshopper .
