“ You’ll see me there , ” said the Cat , and vanished . Alice was not much surprised at this , she was getting so used to queer things happening . While she was looking at the place where it had been , it suddenly appeared again . “ By - the - bye , what became of the baby ? ” said the Cat . “ I’d nearly forgotten to ask . ” “ It turned into a pig , ” Alice quietly said , just as if it had come back in a natural way . “ I thought it would , ” said the Cat , and vanished again . Alice waited a little , half expecting to see it again , but it did not appear , and after a minute or two she walked on in the direction in which the March Hare was said to live . “ I’ve seen hatters before , ” she said to herself ; “ the March Hare will be much the most interesting , and perhaps as this is May it won’t be raving mad — at least not so mad as it was in March . ” As she said this , she looked up , and there was the Cat again , sitting on a branch of a tree . “ Did you say pig , or fig ? ” said the Cat . “ I said pig , ” replied Alice ; “ and I wish you wouldn’t keep appearing and vanishing so suddenly : you make one quite giddy . ” “ All right , ” said the Cat ; and this time it vanished quite slowly , beginning with the end of the tail , and ending with the grin , which remained some time after the rest of it had gone . “ Well ! I’ve often seen a cat without a grin , ” thought Alice ; “ but a grin without a cat ! It’s the most curious thing I ever saw in my life ! ” She had not gone much farther before she came in sight of the house of the March Hare : she thought it must be the right house , because the chimneys were shaped like ears and the roof was thatched with fur . It was so large a house , that she did not like to go nearer till she had nibbled some more of the lefthand bit of mushroom , and raised herself to about two feet high : even then she walked up towards it rather timidly , saying to herself “ Suppose it should be raving mad after all ! I almost wish I’d gone to see the Hatter instead ! ” CHAPTER VII . A Mad Tea - Party There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house , and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it : a Dormouse was sitting between them , fast asleep , and the other two were using it as a cushion , resting their elbows on it , and talking over its head . “ Very uncomfortable for the Dormouse , ” thought Alice ; “ only , as it’s asleep , I suppose it doesn’t mind . ” The table was a large one , but the three were all crowded together at one corner of it : “ No room ! No room ! ” they cried out when they saw Alice coming . “ There’s plenty of room ! ” said Alice indignantly , and she sat down in a large arm - chair at one end of the table .
