Alice in Wonderland (25)

(7)PIG AND PEPPER

For a munute or two, she stood looking at the house and wondering what o do next.

Then suddenly footman in lively came running out of the wood(she considered him to be a footman because he was in lively:otherwise, judging by his face only, she would have calld him a fish. )
※footman:
制服を着た)従僕 《来客の案内，食堂の給仕，車のドアの開閉などを受け持つ》

He tapped loudly at the door with his knuckles.

The door opened immediately by another footman in lively,with a round face, and large eyes like a frog.

The Fish-Footman produced a great letter, nearly as large as himself and handed it to the Frog-Footman.



" For the Duchess. An invitation from the  Queen to play croquet, " he said in a solemn tone.

The Frog-Footman repeated the same words.

Then they both bowed low, and their curls got entangled together.

Alice laughed so much at this.
So she had to run back into the wood to fear hearing her voice.

When she next peeped out, the Fish-footman was gone.

The Frog-Footman was sitting on the ground near the door, dropped the letter on the step, staring stupidly up into the sky.



Alice ventured to show herself.
She went timidly up to the door and knocked.
