The Gnat
One of the White King's messengers. He is, according to the White King, an Anglo-Saxon messenger, and therefore exhibits Anglo-Saxon "attitudes"—that is, he dances oddly while he moves. Alice begins reciting an alphabet game when she learns Haigha's name in which she lists silly things about him beginning with H. Because of this, Haigha pulls several odd things beginning with H out of his bag, including ham sandwiches and hay. The illustrations and endnotes in the book reveal that Haigha is an incarnation of the March Hare from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
