"The trial cannot proceed," said the King in a very grave voice, looking hard at Alice as he said so. "until all the Heideggerian jurymen are back in their proper places -- all," he repeated with great emphasis ..."all of you must realise that the accused claims that the meaning of "'vorausspringender Fuersorge," in his children's book Sein und Zeit, does not mean a taking-care-of others, in the sense that Al Capone, or the accused and his gangster Nazi pals later "took care" of people, but in a sense which clears the way for the victims to be less dependant and to take care of themselves, and live a life of uninterupted freedom and potential happiness in the realm much like any other member of the German population. What actually happened is ignored by the defendant anyway, for after the war he suffered from mental problems, and an apparent loss of memory, and he has never apologised right up to the time he entered our witness box at half past nine this very morning." As soon as the jury of Heideggerians had a little recovered from the shock of being upset, and their slates and pencils had been found and handed back to them, they set to work very diligently to rub out the history of their hero's Nazi activities, all except the Lizard, who seemed too much overcome to do anything but sit with its mouth open, gazing up into the roof of the court and wondering how and why he had ever blundered into Blunderland in the first place. `What do you know about this business?' the King said to Alice. `Nothing,' said Alice. `Nothing whatever?' persisted the King. `Nothing whatever,' said Alice. `That's very important,' the King said, turning to the jury. "Alice says "nothing," but we all know that "nothing doesn't exist" - so how can she know something that doesn't exist?" They were just beginning to write this down on their slates, when the White Rabbit interrupted: `Being' your Majesty means, 'Being',' he said in a very respectful tone, but frowning and making faces at him as he spoke. `Being', of course, 'Being'' the King hastily said, and went on to himself in an undertone, `Being--Being--- Being---Being---' as if he were trying to convice himself it had some meaning. The jury loved words - particularly meaningless words, and some of them wrote down `Being,' and some `Nothing.' Alice could see these meaningless words, as she was near enough to look over their slates; `but it doesn't matter a bit,' she thought to herself. - "they're just silly old cards." At this the whole pack of lies rose up into the air, and like the Japanese aircraft at Pearl Harbour came flying down upon her: screaming: "Being! Being! Being!" She gave a little scream, half of fright and half of anger, and tried to beat them off, and found herself lying on the bank, with her head in the lap of her sister, who was gently brushing away some dead leaves that had fluttered down from the trees upon her face.
