“I am very sorry,” said Alice. “You began to talk about yourtail?”
“I had NOT!” the Mouse was very angry.
“A knot!” said Alice. “Oh, let me help you toundo it!”
The Mouse stood up and said, “You are a very rude girl!”
“Oh, but I tried to be polite,” cried poor Alice.
The Mouse didn't answer.
“Please come back and finish your story!” Alice called after it but the Mouse only shook its head and went away.
“It is sad that our Dinah is not here!” Alice said. “She would bring the Mouse back.”
“And who is Dinah?” asked the Lory. Alice was always ready to talk about her pet. “Dinah's our cat. And she's so good at catching mice! And oh, she is very good at catching birds too! She is very fast!”
After that, everyone ran away and Alice was soon alone.
“It was a bad idea to talk about Dinah!” She said to herself sadly. “It seems nobody likes her here, and I'm sure she's the best cat in the world! Oh, my dear Dinah! Will I ever see you again?” And here poor Alice began to cry again because she felt very sad. However, a little later she again heard some sounds far away. She thought that it was the Mouse and that it returned to finish the story.
