What does the White Rabbit always say in Alice in Wonderland?

Answer 1

In the 1951 animated movie by Disney, he says, "I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date. No time to say hello, goodbye, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!"

In Lewis Carroll's book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the first thing the White Rabbit says is, "Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!"

When we next see him he says, "Oh! The Duchess, the Duchess! Oh! Won't she be savage if I've kept her waiting!"

On his third appearance, he is still clearly concerned about the Duchess when he says, "The Duchess! The Duchess! Oh my dear paws! Oh my fur and whiskers! She'll have me executed as sure as ferrets are ferrets!"

After this his manner of speech takes on a much more conversational tone, as he instructs Alice to fetch his gloves and fan, and subsequently discusses with his servants how best to remove the giant Alice from his house.

The last time he appears in the book is during the trial, at which he acts as herald. During the trial he cries out "Silence in the court," reads the accusation and calls the witnesses.
