From the text of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, we can see that tea-time is 6 o'clock. However, because the Hatter has upset Time, who is described as though it were a living person, it's ALWAYS 6 o'clock, and therefore always tea-time. 'And ever since that,' the Hatter went on in a mournful tone, 'he [Time] wo'n't do a thing I ask! It's always six o'clock now.'

A bright idea came into Alice's head. 'Is that the reason so many tea-things are put out here?' she asked.

'Yes, that's it.' said the Hatter with a sigh: 'it's always tea-time, and we've no time to wash the things between whiles.'

In the book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Alice and the Hatter have a long conversation about time, during the mad tea party. During this conversation, the Hatter explains that Time is a person, and if you get on with him, he can fix the time of day make it whatever time you like.'....Now, if you only kept on good terms with him, he'd do almost anything you liked with the clock. For instance, suppose it were nine o'clock in the morning, just time to begin lessons: you'd only have to whisper a hint to Time, and round goes the clock in a twinkling! Half-past one, time for dinner!'Unfortunately, it emerges that the Hatter has upset Time, by mangling the meter of a song he was singing at a concert given for the Queen of Hearts.`Well, I'd hardly finished the first verse,' said the Hatter, `when the Queen jumped up and bawled out, "He's murdering the time!
