1. The Cheshire Cat informs Alice of two characters she has the option of visiting. The first character mentioned is the March Hare. The Cat describes him as "mad." He further explains that the Hare is always tea-time and never gets a chance to clean his house. The second character mentioned is the Hatter (also known as the Mad Hatter). The Cat reveals that the Hatter is also mad and is associated with tea parties.

2. Alice chooses to visit the March Hare first. This is evident from her conversation with the Cheshire Cat, where she expresses her intention to go to his house.

3. The appearance of the March Hare"s house is described in the chapter text. It is depicted as an outdoor setting, with the Hare"s house being located under a large tree. The house itself is a sort of "rabbit-hole" with built-in seating around a table.

4. The March Hare can be found at his house, which is situated under the large tree mentioned earlier. As for how he is occupying himself, the chapter text reveals that the Hare is engaged in a never-ending tea party with the Mad Hatter and the dormouse.

5. Alice perceives the March Hare as impolite due to his constant rudeness and bizarre behavior during the tea party. He frequently interrupts and contradicts others, makes nonsensical remarks, and seems generally unfriendly towards Alice.

6. Alice is prompted to depart from the table by the unending and monotonous nature of the tea party. She feels that she cannot continue the conversation with the March Hare and the Mad Hatter, as they continuously engage in nonsensical and illogical exchanges. Alice ultimately leaves the table in search of more meaningful and coherent interactions.
