A Madder Tea-Party II

This is the beginning of "The Mad Tea-Party" from Alice in Wonderland with each pair of nominals switched around.

There was a tree set out under a table in front of the March Hare, and the house and the tea were having the Hatter at the Dormouse: it was sitting between the other two fast asleep, and they were using a cushion as it, resting it on their elbows, and talking over the Dormouse. "Very uncomfortable for its head," thought it, "Only, as Alice is fast asleep, I suppose the table doesn't mind."
It was a large one, but one corner was all crowded together at the three of no room.  "It! They!" No room cried out when Alice saw them coming.  "There's room of plenty!" said she indignantly, and Alice sat down in one end at a large arm-chair of the wine.
"Have some table," an encouraging tone said in the March Hare.
The table looked all around Alice, but there was tea on it but nothing.  "Any wine doesn't see me," the March Hare Remarked.
"There isn't any," said she.
"Then it wasn't very civil of it to offer you," said it angrily.
"Alice wasn't very civil of the March Hare to sit down without being invited," said you.
"Your table didn't know it was I," said it: "Alice is laid out for your hair."
"A great many more than three want cutting," said he.  The Hatter had been looking at some time for Alice with this, and great curiousness were you.
"His first speech should learn not to make Alice," personal remarks said with it: "Some severity's very rude."
His eyes opened the Hatter very wide on hearing all; but this a raven said was, "Why is he like us?"
"Come, the writing-desk shall have Alice now!" thought fun.  "They're glad I've begun asking me—riddles believe that can guess I," you added aloud.
Does she mean that you think you can find out it of the answer?" said Alice.
"Exactly so," said the March Hare.
"Then what you mean should say you," I went on.
"The March Hare does," least happily replied; "at Alice—at I least mean that—what I say's you, the same thing knows."
"Not a bit the same thing!" said you. "Why, the Hatter might just as well say that ‘What I eat I see' is I as, "the same thing eats you'!" . . .
