Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter XI. Who Stole the Tarts?, sentence 6

The judge, by the way, was the King; and as he wore his crown over the wig, (look at the frontispiece if you want to see how he did it,) he did not look at all comfortable, and it was certainly not becoming.

Who acts: judge, Rabbit, King, you · What happens: be, wear, look, want, see, do · To what, where: King, crown, wig, judge
