In this scene from Lewis Carroll’s “The Walrus and the Carpenter,” the two main characters have led the trusting little Oysters on a pleasant walk along the sea. This speech by the Walrus is a prelude to announcing that he and the Carpenter mean to eat their guests for dinner. Amid protests from the Oysters, the Walrus and the Carpenter do eat them. This excerpt is recited by an actor.
