Which Alice?

The King's Story
Of all the puzzle-adventures in Wonderland, those that now
follow are the ones Alice liked best. Not till her later journey
through the Looking-Glass did Alice come across such remarkable
examples of logical reasoning.
That last puzzle of the Gryphon was really good! thought Alice,
after she had left the Gryphon and the Mock Turtle. I wonder why
the Mock Turtle thought his puzzles were so sad. I think he was
being overly sentimental!
Alice walked quite a long way and after a while came across the
King of Hearts, seated all by himself on a bench, totally lost in
thought. Alice stood by for a while, not daring to say anything to
disturb him. Kings sometimes think about important things, thought
Alice. At least, so I have been told—so it would never do for me to
begin the conversation!
After some time, the King noticed Alice's presence and smiled.
"That was very fine work you did at the trials," he said. "You
displayed great sagacity for one so young!"
Alice was not quite sure whether she knew the word sagacity, but
whatever it did mean, it somehow sounded nice and was evidently
meant as a compliment—at least judging from the King's expression
and tone of voice.
"Oh, I enjoyed the trials enormously," said Alice, "and I certainly
wish to thank you for allowing me to serve on the jury."
