The Fish-Footman and the Frog-Footman

Alice stands before the little house and sees a Fish-Footman deliver a letter to a Frog-Footman, inviting the Duchess to play croquet with the Queen. The two footmen bow, their curls tangling, and Alice laughs. The Fish-Footman leaves, and the Frog-Footman sits on the ground, staring at the sky. Alice knocks on the door, but the Footman tells her it's useless because they are on the same side and the noise inside is too loud. A plate flies out and hits the Footman's head, but he continues as if nothing happened. Alice opens the door and enters the kitchen.
