` She runs so fearfully quick . You might as well try to catch a Bandersnatch ! But I 'll make a memorandum about her , if you like -- She 's a dear good creature , ' he repeated softly to himself , as he opened his memorandum-book . ` Do you spell `` creature '' with a double `` e '' ? ' At this moment the Unicorn sauntered by them , with his hands in his pockets . ' I had the best of it this time ? ' he said to the King , just glancing at him as he passed . ' A little -- a little , ' the King replied , rather nervously . ` You should n't have run him through with your horn , you know . ' ` It did n't hurt him , ' the Unicorn said carelessly , and he was going on , when his eye happened to fall upon Alice : he turned round rather instantly , and stood for some time looking at her with an air of the deepest disgust . ` What -- is -- this ? ' he said at last . ` This is a child ! ' Haigha replied eagerly , coming in front of Alice to introduce her , and spreading out both his hands towards her in an Anglo-Saxon attitude . ` We only found it to-day . It 's as large as life , and twice as natural ! ' ' I always thought they were fabulous monsters ! ' said the Unicorn . ` Is it alive ? ' ` It can talk , ' said Haigha , solemnly .
The Unicorn looked dreamily at XXXXX , and said ` Talk , child . '
