Line 26:
* Brick Joke:
** In chapter 7, the Hatter tells Alice how he performed at the Queen's concert (singing a parody of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star") and the Queen ordered him executed for "murdering the time". Later, in chapter 11, when he's called on as a witness at the trial, the Queen looks at him closely, and then asks a servant to bring her a list of the performers from the concert. Clearly, she's remembering the incident he mentioned. The Hatter is noticeably nervous about it.
** Also, in chapter 6, the Duchess growls, "If everybody minded their own business," the Duchess said in a hoarse growl, "the world would go round a deal faster than it does." Then, in chapter 9 (when Alice meets her in a much better mood) there's this exchange between them:
{{quote|Duchess: Tis so. And the moral of that is, "Oh, 'tis love, 'tis love, that makes the world go round!"
{{quote|'''Alice:''' Somebody said that [[Little Miss Snarker| it's done by everybody minding their own business!]]!}}
:* As might be expected, the Duchess doesn't get the hint.
*:* The second book combines this with foreshadowing. When Alice sees the living chess pieces in miniature form, she writes in the King's notebook, "The White Knight is sliding down the poker; he balances very badly." Several chapters later, when she meets the white Knight in person, he clearly balances horribly, falling off his horse every few steps it makes.
*:* Humpty Dumpty's poem has him taking a corkscrew and going to punish the fish for not obeying him. Several chapters later, the two Queen's relate how he was trying to get into the house the other day with a corkscrew, although in their account, they say he was looking for a hippopotamus.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: The Dormouse.
* [[The Cast Showoff]]: The Mad Hatter taps because Wheeldon wanted to take advantage of the original dancer's skill.
