Alice then recites “How Doth the Little Busy Bee,” but, as described in chapter three, “Her voice sounded hoarse and strange, and the words did not come out the same as they used to.” Next, in chapter five, the caterpillar tells her to recite “You are Old, Father William,” and in chapter ten, Alice was also instructed to recite “The Lobster-Quadrille” to the Mock Turtle but they, like all the others, it came out…
