WHITE QUEEN: But I don’t want it done at all. I’ve been a-dressing myself for the last two hours. ALICE: Every single thing’s crooked, and you’re all over pins; may I put your shawl straight for you? WHITE QUEEN: I don’t know what’s the matter with it! It’s out of temper. I’ve pinned it here, and I’ve pinned it there, but there’s no pleasing it. ALICE: It can’t go straight, you know, if you pin it all on one side, and dear me, what a state your hair is in! WHITE QUEEN: The brush has got entangled in it! And I lost the comb yesterday. ALICE: (Takes out the brush and arranges the QUEEN’S hair.) You look better now! But really you should have a lady’s maid! The White Queen is bossy. The White Queen is proud of her appearance. The White Queen is absentminded. The White Queen is a strict ruler. The White Queen is careless.
