Alice, pale, innocent and distanced, has not only assigned her grin to the cat. She handed over her vitality exhaustively to the little cat-mummy, thereby creating an uncanny and Pygmalion-like inversion of what is dead and what is alive. A human and the beastly mode of existence. Fading away, her Victorian beauty reanimates the shrunken creature. As a Cheshire cat it rises forever.
