she screamed at the top of her voice , and all the guests began drinking it directly , and very queerly they managed it : some of them put their glasses upon their heads like extinguishers , and drank all that trickled down their faces -- others upset the decanters , and drank the wine as it ran off the edges of the table -- and three of them -LRB- who looked like kangaroos -RRB- scrambled into the dish of roast mutton , and began eagerly lapping up the gravy , ` just like pigs in a trough ! ' thought Alice . ` You ought to return thanks in a neat speech , ' the Red Queen said , frowning at Alice as she spoke . ` We must support you , you know , ' the White Queen whispered , as Alice got up to do it , very obediently , but a little frightened . ` Thank you very much , ' she whispered in reply , ` but I can do quite well without . ' ` That would n't be at all the thing , ' the Red Queen said very decidedly : so Alice tried to submit to it with a good grace . -LRB- ` And they DID push so ! ' she said afterwards , when she was telling her sister the history of the feast . ` You would have thought they wanted to squeeze me flat ! ' -RRB- In fact it was rather difficult for her to keep in her place while she made her speech : the two Queens pushed her so , one on each side , that they nearly lifted her up into the air : ' I rise to return thanks -- ' Alice began : and she really DID rise as she spoke , several inches ; but she got hold of the edge of the table , and managed to pull herself down again . ` Take care of yourself ! ' screamed the White Queen , seizing Alice 's hair with both her hands . ` Something 's going to happen ! ' And then -LRB- as Alice afterwards described it -RRB- all sorts of things happened in a moment . The candles all grew up to the ceiling , looking something like a bed of rushes with fireworks at the top . As to the bottles , they each took a pair of plates , which they hastily fitted on as wings , and so , with forks for legs , went fluttering about in all directions : ` and very like birds they look , ' Alice thought to herself , as well as she could in the dreadful confusion that was beginning . At this moment she heard a hoarse laugh at her side , and turned to see what was the matter with the White Queen ; but , instead of the Queen , there was the leg of mutton sitting in the chair . ` Here I am ! ' cried a voice from the soup tureen , and Alice turned again , just in time to see the Queen 's broad good-natured face grinning at her for a moment over the edge of the tureen , before she disappeared into the soup . There was not a moment to be lost .
Already several of the guests were lying down in the dishes , and the soup ladle was walking up the table towards XXXXX 's chair , and beckoning to her impatiently to get out of its way . '
