ALICE'S ADVENTURES

"I suppose you know how to manage them," said Alice.

"Oh yes," the Black Knight said. "You see, they have to go to me for their facts. The fiction they do themselves. By the way, would you like to see an Iconoclast?"

"What is it?" asked Alice, not quite sure whether it was an animal or a Greek temple.

"Come on," said the Black Knight. "I'll show you."

Alice was doubtful at first whether she wanted to go or not, but she followed the Black Knight till they came to a place where there were a lot of gravestones scattered about. At least, Alice thought they were gravestones until she read on one of them:
