I’ve never seen this one before (love when that happens) but it is open to interpretation. Is Dill standing on his tippy-toes trying to look tall but we are seeing Alice’s much-exaggerated view of it? Or are we seeing what Dill thinks he looks like when doing this? I’ll go with the latter as Alice’s eyes never look upwards at Dill – always straight ahead.
A reporter wanted to interview General Tom Thumb, the famous midget. He went to his hotel, got the room number, went up, and knocked on the door. An eight foot giant opened it. “I’m sorry, I was looking for General Tom Thumb, the famous midget.”

Quiet disillusionment —> surprised trumpeting —> consternation—> angry admonishment —> honest assessment (Dill, quiet delighted compliance) —> uneasy concern. Richard Thompson —> simple brilliance.

Dill’s imagination has The Power! Even Alice can see what he is imagining!
