When the Red Queen refuses to exclude a walrus from Wonderland, the other residents, who have ""heard"" that walruses are dishonest, rude, and even smelly, attempt to make him feel unwelcome. They don't listen to Alice when she says that the walrus is very nice. But, when the Queen gives them a taste of their own medicine and throws a walrus-only party, they finally see the error of their ways.
