This sounded nonsense； but Alice very obediently got up； and
carried the dish round； and the cake divided itself into three
pieces as she did so。 ‘NOW cut it up；' said the Lion； as she
returned to her place with the empty dish。
‘I say； this isn't fair！' cried the Unicorn； as Alice sat with
the knife in her hand； very much puzzled how to begin。 ‘The
Monster has given the Lion twice as much as me！'
‘She's kept none for herself； anyhow；' said the Lion。 ‘Do you
like plum…cake； Monster？'
But before Alice could answer him； the drums began。
Where the noise came from； she couldn't make out： the air
seemed full of it； and it rang through and through her head till
she felt quite deafened。 She started to her feet and sprang
across the little brook in her terror；
* * * * * * *
* * * * * *
* * * * * * *
and had just time to see the Lion and the Unicorn rise to their
feet； with angry looks at being interrupted in their feast；
before she dropped to her knees； and put her hands over her ears；
vainly trying to shut out the dreadful uproar。
‘If THAT doesn't 〃drum them out of town；〃' she thought to
herself； 'nothing ever will！'
