Alice cried with a merry laugh (воскликнула Алиса с веселым смешком). `And curtsey while you're thinking what to — what to purr (и приседай, пока думаешь что бы такое — что бы такое промурлыкать). It saves time, remember (это экономит время, помни)!' And she caught it up and gave it one little kiss (и она схватила ее, подняла и легонько поцеловала), `just in honour of having been a Red Queen (просто в честь того, что /ты/ была Черной Королевой).'
