Alice almost stamped with irritation at the slow drawl in which he spoke .<br>` THIS door , of course ! '<br>The Frog looked at the door with his large dull eyes for a minute : then he went nearer and rubbed it with his thumb , as if he were trying whether the paint would come off ; then he looked at Alice .<br>` To answer the door ? '<br>he said .<br>` What 's it been asking of ? '<br>He was so hoarse that Alice could scarcely hear him . '<br>I do n't know what you mean , ' she said . '<br>I talks English , does n't I ? '<br>the Frog went on .<br>` Or are you deaf ?<br>What did it ask you ? '
Based on Alice's issues hearing the frog the frog worried Alice may have issues hearing.
Based on the frog's response asking if Alice was deaf you can tell the frog had concerns of Alice's ability to hear.
