Then the white knight shows up and he says the same thing and tries to take Alice as his prisoner. They began banging away at each other with such fury that Alice got behind a tree to be out of the way of the blows.
Alice asks the knight about his body. The Knight looked surprised at the question. :What does it matter where my body happens to be?" he said. "My mind goes on working all the same. In fact, the more head downwards I am, the more I keep inventing new things."
Alice has a golden crown on her head. She was not surprised at finding the Red Queen and the White Queen sitting by her. She would have liked very much to ask them how they came there, but she feared it would not be quite civil. However, there would be no harm, she thought, in asking if the game was over
