Alice (II)

Two more postcards of Alice sent by John (the UK):

"Would you tell me pleas," said Alice,
a little timidly,
"why you are painting those roses?"

The Dodo solemnly presented the thimble,
saying "We beg your acceptance of this
elegant thimble".

And one fmore from Laura (the UK), with a illustration of Margaret Tarrant (1888-1959):

Alice succeeded in getting her flamingo's
 body tucked away, comfortably enough, under
her arm, but generally just as
she had got its neck straightened out
it
would twist itself round
and look up into her face.

  1. Margaret Tarrant's Alice is a lot sweeter.

    1. We have an interesting discussion about the colour of Alice's dress.
