Alice looked at the jury-box, and saw that, in her haste, she had put

the Lizard in head downwards, and the poor little thing was waving its

tail about in a melancholy way, being quite unable to move. 🔊 She soon got

it out again, and put it right; ‘not that it signifies much,’ she said

to herself; ‘I should think it would be quite as much use in the trial

one way up as the other.’ 🔊

As soon as the jury had a little recovered from the shock of being

upset, and their slates and pencils had been found and handed back to

them, they set to work very diligently to write out a history of the

accident, 🔊 all except the Lizard, who seemed too much overcome to do

anything but sit with its mouth open, gazing up into the roof of the

court. 🔊

‘What do you know about this business?’ the King said to Alice. 🔊

‘Nothing,’ said Alice.

‘Nothing whatever?’ persisted the King.

‘Nothing whatever,’ said Alice. 🔊
