...British characters that Alice met on the other side of the looking glass was the White Knight. To be prepared for "everything" he carried not only tin armor and a helmet, but also a sandwich box, a mousetrap, fire-irons, carrots, a beehive; and his horse was equipped with anti-sharkbite anklets.
