Just as actual dormice are famous for their long hibernation period (the name itself is a composition of "dormant" and "mouse"), Alice in Wonderland's Dormouse is characterized by a slow and sleepy demeanor. He sits between the Mad Hatter and the March Hare during the tea-party scene in Chapter 7, and the duo often use the poor beast as a cushion or armrest whenever he falls into a doze. When he is awake, he tells Alice a strange story about three sisters who live in a treacle well and draw pictures of things beginning with the letter M, including mousetraps, memory and muchness. The Dormouse later appears amongst the audience for the Knave of Hearts' trial in Chapter 11.[1]
