A good question for a reader to ask to clarify what is happening in the story would be: Where are Alice and the Queen going? This question encourages exploration of the context and purpose of their frantic running, which is central to understanding the scene.
Read this excerpt from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.
Alice never could quite make out, in thinking it over afterwards, how it was that they began: all she remembers is, that they were running hand in hand, and the Queen went so fast that it was all she could do to keep up with her: and still the Queen kept crying "Faster! Faster!” but Alice felt she COULD NOT go faster, though she had not breath left to say so.
