A White Rabbit hurries through a darkened tunnel, late for an important meeting with the Queen of Hearts. Alice tumbles through the same tunnel, confused and shaken. She asks the White Rabbit how to get home, but the White Rabbit is more concerned about the execution that awaits him, should he be late to meet the Queen of Hearts. As the White Rabbit dashes off, he drops one of his gloves. A second Alice appears, picking up the glove and hurrying off after the White Rabbit. How peculiar!
