The Duchess' Kitchen
“The door led right into a large kitchen, which was full of smoke from one end to the other: the Duchess was sitting on a three-legged stool in the middle, nursing a baby; the cook was leaning over the fire, stirring a large cauldron which seemed to be full of soup.”
Introduction
One of the most chaotic and nonsensical of Alice’s encounters, this scene introduces us to many of Carroll’s best-known characters: The Duchess, the Cheshire Cat, the Cook, and the Baby/Pig.
