'I don't think they play at all fairly,' Alice began, in rather a complaining tone, 'and they all quarrel so dreadfully one can't hear oneself speak--and they don't seem to have any rules in particular; at least, if there are, nobody attends to them--and you've no idea how confusing it is all the things being alive; for instance, there's the arch I've got to go through next walking about at the other end of the ground--and I should have croqueted the Queen's hedgehog just now, only it ran away when it saw mine coming!'
— Non credo che giochino realmente, — disse Alice lagnandosi. — Litigano con tanto calore che non sentono neanche la loro voce... non hanno regole nel giuoco; e se le hanno, nessuno le osserva... E poi c'è una tal confusione con tutti questi oggetti vivi; che non c'è modo di raccapezzarsi.
