was speaking, so that her idea of the tale was something like this:—"Fury said to
a mouse, That
he met in the
house, 'Let
us both go
to law: I
will prose-
cute you.—
Come, I'll
take no de-
nial: We
must have
the trial;
For really
this morn-
ing I've
nothing
to do.'
Said the
mouse to
the cur,
Such a
trial, dear
sir, With
no jury
or judge,
would
be wast-
ing our
breath.
'I'll be
judge,
I'll be
jury,
said
cun-
ning
old
Fury:
'I'll
try
the
whole
cause,
and
con-
demn
you to
death.
"You are not attending!" said the Mouse to Alice, severely. "What are you thinking of?"
