She is the heroine of the novel, and we are told that she has a strange dream in which she is running around like a rabbit. We are also told that Alice has a weird dream about a big dessert, and that the dessert is covered in cream. Alice asks the butler to stir her up so that she can eat the cream, but the butler is too busy to do so. He says that it is best not to have cream cake during tea time.
