Paragraph
<p> 'How do you like the Queen?' said the Cat in a low voice.
'Not at all,' said Alice: 'she's so extremely—' Just then she
noticed that the Queen was close behind her, listening: so
she went on, '—likely to win, that it's hardly worth while
finishing the game.' The Queen smiled and passed on.
'Who ARE you talking to?' said the King, going up to Alice,
and looking at the Cat's head with great curiosity. 'It's a
friend of mine—a Cheshire Cat,' said Alice: 'allow me to
introduce it.' 'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King:
'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.' 'I'd rather not,' the
Cat remarked. 'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and
don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he
spoke. 'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.
