Read this passage from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.

“Quite right,” said the King: “this young lady saw him too. So of course, Nobody walks slower than you.”

“I do my best,” the Messenger said in a sullen tone. “I'm sure nobody walks much faster than I do!”

“He can't do that,” said the King, “or else he'd have been here first. However, now you've got your breath, you may tell us what's happened in the town.”

How does the author use this passage to show that the King is unusual?

He explains that the King wants to be informed about the news in town.
He explains that the King treats his messengers kindly.
He explains that the King thinks that Nobody is an actual person.
He explains that the King sends his messengers to do small tasks.
