In Chapter 8, the White Knight rescues Alice from the Red Knight and escorts her through the wood, explaining his inventions and repeatedly falling from his horse. After his farewell song, Alice watches him depart, crosses the last brook into the Eighth Square, and discovers a golden crown on her head.
