For a minute or two she stood looking at the house, and wondering what to do next, when suddenly a footman in livery came running out of the wood--{she considered him to be a footman because he was in livery: otherwise, judging by his face only, she would have called him a fish}--and rapped loudly at the door with his knuckles. It was opened by another footman in livery, with a round face, and large eyes like a frog; and both footmen, Alice noticed, had powdered hair that curled all over their heads. She felt very curious to know what it was all about, and crept a little way out of the wood to listen.
