Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Recording is in the public domain. Queen Alice to the
looking glass world. It was Alice that said, I've a
scepter in hand, I've a crown on my head. Let
the looking glass creatures, whatever they be, come and dine
with the Red Queen, the White Queen and me. Then
fill up the glasses as quick as you can, and

(00:22):
sprinkle the table with buttons and bran, put cats in
the coffee, and mice in the tea. And welcome Queen
Alice with thirty times three, Oh, looking glass creatures. Quoth Alice,
draw near, tis an honor to see me, a favor
to hear tis a privilege high to have dinner and
tea along with the Red Queen, the White Queen and me.

(00:47):
Then fill up the glasses with trickle and ink or
anything else that is pleasant to drink. Mix sand with
the cider, and woe with the wine, and welcome Queen
Alice with ninety times T nine. End of section seventeen.
