The imagery in this is so detailed that you can see the scene clearly in your mind.The long grass rustled at her feet as the white rabbit hurried by- the frightened mouse splashed his way through the pool of tears-she could hear the rattle of the teacups as the march hare and his friends shared their never-ending meal , and the shrill voice of the queen ordering off her unfortunate guests to execution-once more the pig-baby was sneezing on the duchess’s knee , while plates and dishes crashed around it-once more the shriek of the gryphon , the squeak of the lizards slate-pencil , and the choking of the suppressed guinea-pigs , filled the air , mixed up with the distant sob of the miserable mock turtle.
