Script 2Alice looked round eagerly, and found that it was the Red Queen. ‘She’s grown a good deal!’ was her first remark. She had indeed: when Alice first found her in the ashes, she had been only three inches high — and here she was, half a head taller than Alice herself!‘It’s the fresh air that does it,’ said the Rose: ‘wonderfully fine air it is, out here.’‘I think I’ll go and meet her,’ said Alice, for, though the flowers were interesting enough, she felt that it would be far grander to have a talk with a real Queen.**Listen to all of our podcasts here&nbsp;- you can also watch on YouTube, or say to your smart speaker "Play How Do You Say That?!"About our guest: Anna Cass is a relative newcomer to the UK Voice industry, originally from Hertfordshire, now based in East London.
