Alice timidly approached them. \u2018Would you be so kind as to tell me why you are painting these roses?\u2019 Two began in a low voice: \u2018The fact is, you see, miss, there ought to be a red rose here, and we have put in a white one by mistake. If the Queen finds out, we shall all have our heads cut off.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At that moment, Five cried out: \"The Queen! The Queen!\u2018 And the three gardeners immediately threw themselves face down on the ground. First came the soldiers, then the courtiers, then the Queen's children, the guests, the White Rabbit, the Knave of Hearts, and, bringing up the rear of this long procession, the King and Queen. \u2019What is your name, little one?\u2018 \u2019Alice!\u2018 \u2019And who are these?\" \u2018 said the Queen, pointing to the three gardeners lying on the ground. \u2019How should I know?\u2018 replied Alice. The Queen, red with anger, began to shout, \u2019Off with her head!\u2018 The King said timidly, \u2019She's only a child.\u2018 \u2019Do you know how to play croquet?\" \u2018Yes,\u2019 cried Alice. \u2018Well, come on then!\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Alice had never seen such a curious game of croquet as this: hedgehogs were used as balls, and flamingos as mallets. The soldiers bent over double to form arches. The players all played at once, without waiting for their turn, arguing all the time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Queen&#8217;s Croquet.
