The voice, belonging to the Rabbit, calls out, "Mary Ann! Mary Ann! Fetch me my gloves this moment!" Shortly afterward, she hears the sound of small footsteps on the stairs. Alice realizes it's the Rabbit coming to find her, and this causes her to tremble, forgetting that she's now much larger than him. The scene captures her mixture of curiosity and nervousness, characteristic of her adventures in Wonderland.
