Answer to the White Queen's Riddle

The answer to “The White Queen’s Riddle” is an oyster.
An ironic and unexpected twist in “The Walrus and the Carpenter” was that all the oysters were eaten. There was no clear sign that they had been eaten until the very end when the Carpenter had asked them a question, as if expecting a reply, but received no answer.
