The hedgehog was engaged in a fight with another hedgehog, which seemed to Alice an excellent opportunity for croqueting one of them with the other: the only difficulty was, that her flamingo was gone across to the other side of the garden, where Alice could see it trying in a helpless sort of way to fly up into a tree. She didnt respond, but broke away, and her eyes were laughing again. Now he was sure that Strangways and the girl had been killed.
