'Here! you may nurse it a bit, if you like!' the Duchess said to Alice, flinging the baby at her as she spoke. 'I must go and get ready to play croquet with the Queen,' and she hurried out of the room.
— Tieni, lo potrai cullare un poco se ti piace! — disse la Duchessa ad Alice, buttandole il bimbo in braccio. — Vado a prepararmi per giocare una partita a croquet con la Regina. — E uscì in fretta dalla stanza.
