The White Knight Couldn't<br />
Quite Remember<br />
"Humpty Dumpty is really one of the most confusing<br />
characters I've ever met!" thought <strong>Alice</strong>, sometime after she had<br />
left him seated in deep thought upon the wall. "And at the same<br />
time," she continued to herself, "he is so remarkably logical! I<br />
wonder how he manages to be both confusing and logical?"<br />
Just then <strong>Alice</strong> spied her old friend the White Knight way off in<br />
the distance, slowly riding in her direction. Of all <strong>Alice</strong>'s puzzleadventures<br />
in the Looking-Glass, those that now follow are the ones<br />
she remembered most vividly. For years after, she kept telling her<br />
friends these fascinating and unusual puzzles.<br />
The White Knight saw <strong>Alice</strong> from the distance, waved, and<br />
promptly tumbled off his horse.<br />
"Oh, dear!" thought <strong>Alice</strong>. "There he goes again! Maybe he really<br />
should have a wooden horse with wheels after all!"<br />
Well, the Knight was not the least bit hurt (having fallen headlong<br />
into his sugar-loaf helmet); he remounted and, after about five or<br />
six more tumbles, finally reached <strong>Alice</strong>. He was delighted to see her<br />
and to hear all about her latest adventures. He was particularly<br />
interested in the trials in Wonderland concerning the stolen tarts.<br />
"As to trials," said the White Knight, "I've been to some of the<br />
finest trials in the world!"<br />
"Oh, please tell me some!" said <strong>Alice</strong>, who was very interested in<br />
these matters.<br />
