Alice in Wonderland, chapter VI, part 2: The baby, the pig and the Cheshire Cat, sentence 14

The Cat says a Hatter lives one way and a March Hare the other: "Visit either you like: they're both mad", and "we're all mad here"; Alice must be mad too, it says, "or you wouldn't have come here"; "mad as a hatter" and "mad as a March hare" were old sayings, because hares leap and box wildly in spring.

Who acts: Cat, Hatter, you, we, Alice, way · What happens: say, live, visit, like, be, not come · To what, where: one way, old sayings · Speech: someone speaks here
