When the procession came opposite to Alice, they all stopped & looked at her, and the Queen said severely
"Who is this?" She said it to the Knaves of Hearts, who only bowed and smiled in reply. "Idiot!" said the Queen,
tossing her head impatiently; and, turning to Alice, she went on, "What's your name, child?" "My name is Alice,
so please your Majesty," said Alice very politely; but she added, to herself, "Why, they're only a pack of cards,
after all. I needn't be afraid of them!"
Sir John Tenniel was the artist who agreed to illustrate the revised and
expanded text which was now called Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The edition of Alice's Adventures in
Wonderland which was published in July was subsequently withdrawn. The illustrator was displeased at the poor quality of printing, which did not do justice to his illustrations. All but about 15 copies were successfully recalled
and presumed destroyed. A new edition was published in November 1865 (but dated 1866).
