The Cheshire Cat's Head
Alice notices the Cheshire Cat's grin in the air, and the Cat's head gradually appears. They talk about the unfair game, and the Cat asks how Alice likes the Queen. Alice says she does not like her at all, but the Queen overhears and passes on. The King sees the Cat's head and wants it removed. The Queen orders the Cat's head off, but the executioner argues that a head cannot be cut off without a body. The King and Queen argue, and Alice suggests asking the Duchess, who is in prison. The Cat's head fades away before the executioner returns with the Duchess.
