What does the rabbit like in Alice in Wonderland?

In the book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the rabbit is described as, "a White Rabbit with pink eyes." He is wearing a waistcoat with a watch in the pocket. At one point he is carrying a pair of gloves and a fan and during the trial he is holding a Trumpet in one hand and a scroll of parchment in the other.

In his article Alice on the Stage, Lewis Carroll describes the Rabbit in this way, "...elderly', timid', feeble', and nervously shilly-shallying'...I think the White Rabbit should wear spectacles. I am sure his voice should quaver, and his knees quiver, and his whole air suggest a total inability to say Bo' to a goose!"
