The King orders the Hatter to remove his hat, but the Hatter claims it isn't his, saying he keeps hats to sell and does not own any himself. The King immediately suspects the hat is stolen and consults the jury to record the suspicion, emphasizing the importance of the hat's origin.
The Hatter explains his profession as a hat-maker and clarifies that he simply sells hats rather than owning them personally. This exchange illustrates the playful yet mysterious tone of Lewis Carroll's story, highlighting the strange logic and curious characters in Wonderland.
