The puzzle begins here. March Hare and Mad Hatter sipped eggnog and watched the crowd when Alice happened to glance in the Hare's direction and ask, ''Why are you giving me such an angry look?'' ''I'm not giving it to you. I'm giving it back,'' replied the Hare. ''I didn't look crossly at you.'' ''Well somebody did,'' the Hare said, turning to glare at the Hatter. ''Guess who!'' said the newcomer in a thin
flat voice. The Mad Hatter froze a moment and declared, ''I have no use
for practical jokers. ''Ha! Neither have I,'' retorted the stranger,
keeping his hands over the Hatter's eyes. At that the Hatter took up the
challenge of the game and asked series of questions.
Q: Ahem. Would you by chance be in a black suit this evening?
A: I would, but not by chance, by design.
Q: I presume you're a member of all the posh clubs?
A: Afraid not. Never even been invited.
Q: Surely you're better than average? ____A: Yes indeed!
Q: Not spotted, I hope? ____A: Knock wood.
Q: Married? A: No happy. _____________Who is behind the Mad Hatter?
