'And who are these?' said the Queen, pointing to the three gardeners who were lying round the rosetree; for, you see, as they were lying on their faces, and the pattern on their backs was the same as the rest of the pack, she could not tell whether they were gardeners, or soldiers, or courtiers, or three of her own children.
--¿Y quiénes son éstos? --siguió preguntando la Reina, mientras señalaba a los tres jardineros que yacían en torno al rosal. Porque, claro, al estar de bruces sólo se les veía la parte de atrás, que era igual en todas las cartas de la baraja, y la Reina no podía saber si eran jardineros, o soldados, o cortesanos, o tres de sus propios hijos.
