You may copy it, give it away or re-use it under the terms ├──61: conversations in it, “and what is the use of a book,” thought Alice ├──70: There was nothing so _very_ remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it ├──73: it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the ├──76: on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she ├──86: dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think ├──91: plenty of time as she went down to look about her and to wonder what ├──93: what she was coming to, but it was too dark to see anything; then she ├──94: looked at the sides of the well, and noticed that they were filled with ├──109: getting somewhere near the centre of the earth. Let me see: that would ├──114: practice to say it over) “—yes, that’s about the right distance—but ├──115: then I wonder what Latitude or Longitude I’ve got to?” (Alice had no ├──116: idea what Latitude was, or Longitude either, but thought they were nice ├──120: the earth! How funny it’ll seem to come out among the people that walk ├──123: the right word) “—but I shall have to ask them what the name of the ├──126: falling through the air! Do you think you could manage it?) “And what ├──134: no mice in the air, I’m afraid, but you might catch a bat, and that’s ├──140: that she was dozing off, and had just begun to dream that she was ├──163: first thought was that it might belong to one of the doors of the hall; ├──170: Alice opened the door and found that it led into a small passage, not ├──173: out of that dark hall, and wander about among those beds of bright ├──179: happened lately, that Alice had begun to think that very few things ├──191: not going to do _that_ in a hurry. “No, I’ll look first,” she said, ├──196: such as, that a red-hot poker will burn you if you hold it too long; ├──197: and that if you cut your finger _very_ deeply with a knife, it usually ├──198: bleeds; and she had never forgotten that, if you drink much from a ├──214: “What a curious feeling!” said Alice; “I must be shutting up like a ├──218: brightened up at the thought that she was now the right size for going ├──219: through the little door into that lovely garden. First, however, she ├──223: wonder what I should be like then?” And she tried to fancy what the ├──227: After a while, finding that nothing more happened, she decided on going ├──236: “Come, there’s no use in crying like that!” said Alice to herself, ├──247: Soon her eye fell on a little glass box that was lying under the table: ├──256: growing, and she was quite surprised to find that she remained the same ├──259: things to happen, that it seemed quite dull and stupid for life to go ├──277: “Curiouser and curiouser!” cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that ├──279: opening out like the largest telescope that ever was! Good-bye, feet!” ├──296: Oh dear, what nonsense I’m talking!” ├──313: she hastily dried her eyes to see what was coming. It was the White ├──318: so desperate that she was ready to ask help of any one; so, when the ├──329: in the world am I? Ah, _that’s_ the great puzzle!” And she began ├──330: thinking over all the children she knew that were of the same age as ├──339: and four times seven is—oh dear! I shall never get to twenty at that ├──342: Rome, and Rome—no, _that’s_ all wrong, I’m certain! I must have been ├──361: I shall have to go and live in that poky little house, and have next to ├──365: I shall only look up and say ‘Who am I then? Tell me that first, and ├──366: then, if I like being that person, I’ll come up: if not, I’ll stay down ├──372: that she had put on one of the Rabbit’s little white kid gloves while ├──373: she was talking. “How _can_ I have done that?” she thought. “I must be ├──375: herself by it, and found that, as nearly as she could guess, she was ├──377: found out that the cause of this was the fan she was holding, and she ├──380: “That _was_ a narrow escape!” said Alice, a good deal frightened at the ├──386: before, never! And I declare it’s too bad, that it is!” ├──389: splash! she was up to her chin in salt water. Her first idea was that ├──390: she had somehow fallen into the sea, “and in that case I can go back by ├──392: her life, and had come to the general conclusion, that wherever you go ├──396: soon made out that she was in the pool of tears which she had wept when ├──401: being drowned in my own tears! That _will_ be a queer thing, to be ├──405: off, and she swam nearer to make out what it was: at first she thought ├──407: she was now, and she soon made out that it was only a mouse that had ├──411: Everything is so out-of-the-way down here, that I should think very ├──424: anything had happened.) So she began again: “Où est ma chatte?” which ├──427: fright. “Oh, I beg your pardon!” cried Alice hastily, afraid that she ├──447: _hated_ cats: nasty, low, vulgar things! Don’t let me hear the name ├──468: history, and you’ll understand why it is I hate cats and dogs.” ├──471: birds and animals that had fallen into it: there were a Duck and a ├──482: They were indeed a queer-looking party that assembled on the bank—the ├──519: “Found _what_?” said the Duck. ├──522: what ‘it’ means.” ├──524: “I know what ‘it’ means well enough, when _I_ find a thing,” said the ├──525: Duck: “it’s generally a frog or a worm. The question is, what did the ├──537: “In that case,” said the Dodo solemnly, rising to its feet, “I move ├──538: that the meeting adjourn, for the immediate adoption of more energetic ├──542: those long words, and, what’s more, I don’t believe you do either!” And ├──546: “What I was going to say,” said the Dodo in an offended tone, “was, ├──547: that the best thing to get us dry would be a Caucus-race.” ├──549: “What _is_ a Caucus-race?” said Alice; not that she wanted much to ├──550: know, but the Dodo had paused as if it thought that _somebody_ ought to ├──561: liked, so that it was not easy to know when the race was over. However, ├──578: Alice had no idea what to do, and in despair she put her hand in her ├──585: “Of course,” the Dodo replied very gravely. “What else have you got in ├──598: that she did not dare to laugh; and, as she could not think of anything ├──603: confusion, as the large birds complained that they could not taste ├──609: it is you hate—C and D,” she added in a whisper, half afraid that it ├──617: puzzling about it while the Mouse was speaking, so that her idea of the ├──620: “Fury said to a mouse, That he met in the house, ‘Let us both ├──628: “You are not attending!” said the Mouse to Alice severely. “What are ├──651: “What a pity it wouldn’t stay!” sighed the Lory, as soon as it was ├──682: eagerly, half hoping that the Mouse had changed his mind, and was ├──697: moment that it was looking for the fan and the pair of white kid ├──704: called out to her in an angry tone, “Why, Mary Ann, what _are_ you ├──706: a fan! Quick, now!” And Alice was so much frightened that she ran off ├──712: his fan and gloves—that is, if I can find them.” As she said this, she ├──721: began fancying the sort of thing that would happen: “‘Miss Alice! Come ├──723: nurse! But I’ve got to see that the mouse doesn’t get out.’ Only I ├──724: don’t think,” Alice went on, “that they’d let Dinah stop in the house ├──725: if it began ordering people about like that!” ├──731: little bottle that stood near the looking-glass. There was no label ├──735: I’ll just see what this bottle does. I do hope it’ll make me grow large ├──741: down the bottle, saying to herself “That’s quite enough—I hope I shan’t ├──745: Alas! it was too late to wish that! She went on growing, and growing, ├──751: can do no more, whatever happens. What _will_ become of me?” ├──760: rabbits. I almost wish I hadn’t gone down that rabbit-hole—and yet—and ├──761: yet—it’s rather curious, you know, this sort of life! I do wonder what ├──763: that kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of ├──764: one! There ought to be a book written about me, that there ought! And ├──769: now? That’ll be a comfort, one way—never to be an old woman—but ├──770: then—always to have lessons to learn! Oh, I shouldn’t like _that!_” ├──783: house, quite forgetting that she was now about a thousand times as ├──788: that attempt proved a failure. Alice heard it say to itself “Then I’ll ├──791: “_That_ you won’t!” thought Alice, and, after waiting till she fancied ├──795: from which she concluded that it was just possible it had fallen into a ├──805: “Now tell me, Pat, what’s that in the window?” ├──809: “An arm, you goose! Who ever saw one that size? Why, it fills the whole ├──812: “Sure, it does, yer honour: but it’s an arm for all that.” ├──820: _two_ little shrieks, and more sounds of broken glass. “What a number ├──821: of cucumber-frames there must be!” thought Alice. “I wonder what ├──832: rope—Will the roof bear?—Mind that loose slate—Oh, it’s coming down! ├──833: Heads below!” (a loud crash)—“Now, who did that?—It was Bill, I ├──835: it!—_That_ I won’t, then!—Bill’s to go down—Here, Bill! the master says ├──844: she heard a little animal (she couldn’t guess of what sort it was) ├──847: to see what would happen next. ├──852: now—Don’t choke him—How was it, old fellow? What happened to you? Tell ├──855: Last came a little feeble, squeaking voice, (“That’s Bill,” thought ├──866: wonder what they _will_ do next! If they had any sense, they’d take the ├──870: “A barrowful of _what?_” thought Alice; but she had not long to doubt, ├──873: this,” she said to herself, and shouted out, “You’d better not do that ├──876: Alice noticed with some surprise that the pebbles were all turning into ├──882: So she swallowed one of the cakes, and was delighted to find that she ├──893: second thing is to find my way into that lovely garden. I think that ├──897: arranged; the only difficulty was, that she had not the smallest idea ├──905: it; but she was terribly frightened all the time at the thought that it ├──909: Hardly knowing what she did, she picked up a little bit of stick, and ├──927: “And yet what a dear little puppy it was!” said Alice, as she leant ├──930: only been the right size to do it! Oh dear! I’d nearly forgotten that ├──933: question is, what?” ├──935: The great question certainly was, what? Alice looked all round her at ├──936: the flowers and the blades of grass, but she did not see anything that ├──940: behind it, it occurred to her that she might as well look and see what ├──945: caterpillar, that was sitting on the top with its arms folded, quietly ├──967: “What do you mean by that?” said the Caterpillar sternly. “Explain ├──983: after that into a butterfly, I should think you’ll feel it a little ├──1011: “Is that all?” said Alice, swallowing down her anger as well as she ├──1025: “Can’t remember _what_ things?” said the Caterpillar. ├──1041: But, now that I’m perfectly sure I have none, ├──1047: Pray, what is the reason of that?” ├──1065: That your eye was as steady as ever; ├──1067: What made you so awfully clever?” ├──1069: “I have answered three questions, and that is enough,” ├──1075: “That is not said right,” said the Caterpillar. ├──1085: “What size do you want to be?” it asked. ├──1093: before, and she felt that she was losing her temper. ├──1117: “One side of _what?_ The other side of _what?_” thought Alice to ├──1134: that there was no time to be lost, as she was shrinking rapidly; so she ├──1136: so closely against her foot, that there was hardly room to open her ├──1148: changed into alarm in another moment, when she found that her shoulders ├──1151: sea of green leaves that lay far below her. ├──1153: “What _can_ all that green stuff be?” said Alice. “And where _have_ my ├──1159: she tried to get her head down to them, and was delighted to find that ├──1175: “I haven’t the least idea what you’re talking about,” said Alice. ├──1184: “As if it wasn’t trouble enough hatching the eggs,” said the Pigeon; ├──1198: “Well! _What_ are you?” said the Pigeon. “I can see you’re trying to ├──1202: the number of changes she had gone through that day. ├──1206: _one_ with such a neck as that! No, no! You’re a serpent; and there’s ├──1207: no use denying it. I suppose you’ll be telling me next that you never ├──1215: they’re a kind of serpent, that’s all I can say.” ├──1217: This was such a new idea to Alice, that she was quite silent for a ├──1219: looking for eggs, I know _that_ well enough; and what does it matter to ├──1230: she remembered that she still held the pieces of mushroom in her hands, ├──1235: It was so long since she had been anything near the right size, that it ├──1238: done now! How puzzling all these changes are! I’m never sure what I’m ├──1240: right size: the next thing is, to get into that beautiful garden—how ├──1241: _is_ that to be done, I wonder?” As she said this, she came suddenly ├──1255: For a minute or two she stood looking at the house, and wondering what ├──1261: frog; and both footmen, Alice noticed, had powdered hair that curled ├──1262: all over their heads. She felt very curious to know what it was all ├──1274: Alice laughed so much at this, that she had to run back into the wood ├──1281: “There’s no sort of use in knocking,” said the Footman, “and that for ├──1311: “_Are_ you to get in at all?” said the Footman. “That’s the first ├──1322: “But what am _I_ to do?” said Alice. ├──1334: “There’s certainly too much pepper in that soup!” Alice said to ├──1340: that did not sneeze, were the cook, and a large cat which was sitting ├──1345: your cat grins like that?” ├──1347: “It’s a Cheshire cat,” said the Duchess, “and that’s why. Pig!” ├──1349: She said the last word with such sudden violence that Alice quite ├──1350: jumped; but she saw in another moment that it was addressed to the ├──1353: “I didn’t know that Cheshire cats always grinned; in fact, I didn’t ├──1354: know that cats _could_ grin.” ├──1358: “I don’t know of any that do,” Alice said very politely, feeling quite ├──1361: “You don’t know much,” said the Duchess; “and that’s a fact.” ├──1370: that it was quite impossible to say whether the blows hurt it or not. ├──1372: “Oh, _please_ mind what you’re doing!” cried Alice, jumping up and down ├──1382: think of what work it would make with the day and night! You see the ├──1393: figures!” And with that she began nursing her child again, singing a ├──1412: that Alice could hardly hear the words:— ├──1435: itself up and straightening itself out again, so that altogether, for ├──1445: “Don’t grunt,” said Alice; “that’s not at all a proper way of ├──1449: to see what was the matter with it. There could be no doubt that it had ├──1461: Alice was just beginning to think to herself, “Now, what am I to do ├──1463: violently, that she looked down into its face in some alarm. This time ├──1465: a pig, and she felt that it would be quite absurd for her to carry it ├──1479: felt that it ought to be treated with respect. ├──1486: “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat. ├──1494: “Oh, you’re sure to do that,” said the Cat, “if you only walk long ├──1497: Alice felt that this could not be denied, so she tried another ├──1498: question. “What sort of people live about here?” ├──1500: “In _that_ direction,” the Cat said, waving its right paw round, “lives ├──1501: a Hatter: and in _that_ direction,” waving the other paw, “lives a ├──1506: “Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. ├──1513: Alice didn’t think that proved it at all; however, she went on “And how ├──1514: do you know that you’re mad?” ├──1516: “To begin with,” said the Cat, “a dog’s not mad. You grant that?” ├──1526: “Call it what you like,” said the Cat. “Do you play croquet with the ├──1538: “By-the-bye, what became of the baby?” said the Cat. “I’d nearly ├──1548: which the March Hare was said to live. “I’ve seen hatters before,” she ├──1568: chimneys were shaped like ears and the roof was thatched with fur. It ├──1569: was so large a house, that she did not like to go nearer till she had ├──1620: begun asking riddles.—I believe I can guess that,” she added aloud. ├──1622: “Do you mean that you think you can find out the answer to it?” said ├──1627: “Then you should say what you mean,” the March Hare went on. ├──1629: “I do,” Alice hastily replied; “at least—at least I mean what I ├──1630: say—that’s the same thing, you know.” ├──1633: say that ‘I see what I eat’ is the same thing as ‘I eat what I see’!” ├──1635: “You might just as well say,” added the March Hare, “that ‘I like what ├──1636: I get’ is the same thing as ‘I get what I like’!” ├──1639: talking in his sleep, “that ‘I breathe when I sleep’ is the same thing ├──1647: The Hatter was the first to break the silence. “What day of the month ├──1667: Alice had been looking over his shoulder with some curiosity. “What a ├──1669: tell what o’clock it is!” ├──1671: “Why should it?” muttered the Hatter. “Does _your_ watch tell you what ├──1674: “Of course not,” Alice replied very readily: “but that’s because it ├──1687: eyes, “Of course, of course; just what I was going to remark myself.” ├──1692: “No, I give it up,” Alice replied: “what’s the answer?” ├──1699: time,” she said, “than waste it in asking riddles that have no ├──1705: “I don’t know what you mean,” said Alice. ├──1713: “Ah! that accounts for it,” said the Hatter. “He won’t stand beating. ├──1722: “That would be grand, certainly,” said Alice thoughtfully: “but then—I ├──1728: “Is that the way _you_ manage?” Alice asked. ├──1736: How I wonder what you’re at!’ ├──1751: “_Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, twinkle_—” and went on so long that they ├──1760: “And ever since that,” the Hatter went on in a mournful tone, “he won’t ├──1763: A bright idea came into Alice’s head. “Is that the reason so many ├──1766: “Yes, that’s it,” said the Hatter with a sigh: “it’s always tea-time, ├──1773: “But what happens when you come to the beginning again?” Alice ventured ├──1799: “What did they live on?” said Alice, who always took a great interest ├──1805: “They couldn’t have done that, you know,” Alice gently remarked; ├──1810: Alice tried to fancy to herself what such an extraordinary ways of ├──1826: Alice did not quite know what to say to this: so she helped herself to ├──1845: “What did they draw?” said Alice, quite forgetting her promise. ├──1870: This answer so confused poor Alice, that she let the Dormouse go on for ├──1875: things—everything that begins with an M—” ├──1885: little shriek, and went on: “—that begins with an M, such as ├──1898: looked back once or twice, half hoping that they would call after her: ├──1906: Just as she said this, she noticed that one of the trees had a door ├──1907: leading right into it. “That’s very curious!” she thought. “But ├──1913: and began by taking the little golden key, and unlocking the door that ├──1932: like that!” ├──1937: On which Seven looked up and said, “That’s right, Five! Always lay the ├──1943: “What for?” said the one who had spoken first. ├──1945: “That’s none of _your_ business, Two!” said Seven. ├──1976: hurried nervous manner, smiling at everything that was said, and went ├──1983: of such a rule at processions; “and besides, what would be the use of a ├──1985: faces, so that they couldn’t see it?” So she stood still where she was, ├──1993: Alice, she went on, “What’s your name, child?” ├──2026: “Leave off that!” screamed the Queen. “You make me giddy.” And then, ├──2027: turning to the rose-tree, she went on, “What _have_ you been doing ├──2039: flower-pot that stood near. The three soldiers wandered about for a ├──2048: “That’s right!” shouted the Queen. “Can you play croquet?” ├──2056: wondering very much what would happen next. ├──2068: “What for?” said Alice. ├──2070: “Did you say ‘What a pity!’?” the Rabbit asked. ├──2073: ‘What for?’” ├──2093: up in her face, with such a puzzled expression that she could not help ├──2095: going to begin again, it was very provoking to find that the hedgehog ├──2100: soon came to the conclusion that it was a very difficult game indeed. ├──2109: dispute with the Queen, but she knew that it might happen any minute, ├──2110: “and then,” thought she, “what would become of me? They’re dreadfully ├──2111: fond of beheading people here; the great wonder is, that there’s any ├──2128: she had someone to listen to her. The Cat seemed to think that there ├──2143: that the Queen was close behind her, listening: so she went on, ├──2144: “—likely to win, that it’s hardly worth while finishing the game.” ├──2160: that!” He got behind Alice as he spoke. ├──2162: “A cat may look at a king,” said Alice. “I’ve read that in some book, ├──2179: of things at all, as the game was in such confusion that she never knew ├──2184: other: the only difficulty was, that her flamingo was gone across to ├──2191: of the ground.” So she tucked it away under her arm, that it might not ├──2203: what they said. ├──2205: The executioner’s argument was, that you couldn’t cut off a head unless ├──2206: there was a body to cut it off from: that he had never had to do such a ├──2209: The King’s argument was, that anything that had a head could be ├──2210: beheaded, and that you weren’t to talk nonsense. ├──2212: The Queen’s argument was, that if something wasn’t done about it in ├──2214: this last remark that had made the whole party look so grave and ├──2240: to herself that perhaps it was only the pepper that had made her so ├──2245: does very well without—Maybe it’s always pepper that makes people ├──2247: kind of rule, “and vinegar that makes them sour—and camomile that makes ├──2248: them bitter—and—and barley-sugar and such things that make children ├──2249: sweet-tempered. I only wish people knew _that_: then they wouldn’t be ├──2254: about something, my dear, and that makes you forget to talk. I can’t ├──2255: tell you just now what the moral of that is, but I shall remember it in ├──2273: “’Tis so,” said the Duchess: “and the moral of that is—‘Oh, ’tis love, ├──2274: ’tis love, that makes the world go round!’” ├──2276: “Somebody said,” Alice whispered, “that it’s done by everybody minding ├──2281: _that_ is—‘Take care of the sense, and the sounds will take care of ├──2288: the Duchess said after a pause: “the reason is, that I’m doubtful about ├──2295: the moral of that is—‘Birds of a feather flock together.’” ├──2299: “Right, as usual,” said the Duchess: “what a clear way you have of ├──2305: everything that Alice said; “there’s a large mustard-mine near here. ├──2306: And the moral of that is—‘The more there is of mine, the less there is ├──2312: “I quite agree with you,” said the Duchess; “and the moral of that ├──2313: is—‘Be what you would seem to be’—or if you’d like it put more ├──2314: simply—‘Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might ├──2315: appear to others that what you were or might have been was not ├──2316: otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be ├──2319: “I think I should understand that better,” Alice said very politely, ├──2322: “That’s nothing to what I could say if I chose,” the Duchess replied, ├──2325: “Pray don’t trouble yourself to say it any longer than that,” said ├──2332: birthday presents like that!” But she did not venture to say it out ├──2345: even in the middle of her favourite word ‘moral,’ and the arm that was ├──2353: ground as she spoke; “either you or your head must be off, and that in ├──2364: back to the game, the Queen merely remarking that a moment’s delay ├──2371: that by the end of half an hour or so there were no arches left, and ├──2378: “No,” said Alice. “I don’t even know what a Mock Turtle is.” ├──2387: to the company generally, “You are all pardoned.” “Come, _that’s_ a ├──2392: you don’t know what a Gryphon is, look at the picture.) “Up, lazy ├──2398: as to go after that savage Queen: so she waited. ├──2401: she was out of sight: then it chuckled. “What fun!” said the Gryphon, ├──2404: “What _is_ the fun?” said Alice. ├──2406: “Why, _she_,” said the Gryphon. “It’s all her fancy, that: they never ├──2415: pitied him deeply. “What is his sorrow?” she asked the Gryphon, and the ├──2417: his fancy, that: he hasn’t got no sorrow, you know.

Never heard of ├──2498: uglifying!” it exclaimed. “You know what to beautify is, I suppose?” ├──2502: “Well, then,” the Gryphon went on, “if you don’t know what to uglify ├──2506: she turned to the Mock Turtle, and said “What else had you to learn?” ├──2511: that used to come once a week: _he_ taught us Drawling, Stretching, and ├──2514: “What was _that_ like?” said Alice. ├──2534: “What a curious plan!” exclaimed Alice. ├──2536: “That’s the reason they’re called lessons,” the Gryphon remarked: ├──2547: “That’s enough about lessons,” the Gryphon interrupted in a very ├──2567: said “No, never”) “—so you can have no idea what a delightful thing a ├──2570: “No, indeed,” said Alice. “What sort of a dance is it?” ├──2578: “_That_ generally takes some time,” interrupted the Gryphon. ├──2601: “Back to land again, and that’s all the first figure,” said the Mock ├──2636: “What matters it how far we go?” his scaly friend replied. ├──2645: feeling very glad that it was over at last: “and I do so like that ├──2655: seen them so often, of course you know what they’re like.” ├──2663: eyes.—“Tell her about the reason and all that,” he said to the Gryphon. ├──2665: “The reason is,” said the Gryphon, “that they _would_ go with the ├──2668: couldn’t get them out again.

And ├──2718: “Explain all that,” said the Mock Turtle. ├──2730: Turtle drew a long breath, and said “That’s very curious.” ├──2745: Quadrille, that she hardly knew what she was saying, and the words came ├──2760: “That’s different from what _I_ used to say when I was a child,” said ├──2798: “What _is_ the use of repeating all that stuff,” the Mock Turtle ├──2809: replied, so eagerly that the Gryphon said, in a rather offended tone, ├──2844: “What trial is it?” Alice panted as she ran; but the Gryphon only ├──2846: came, carried on the breeze that followed them, the melancholy words:— ├──2865: good, that it made Alice quite hungry to look at them—“I wish they’d ├──2871: about them in books, and she was quite pleased to find that she knew ├──2872: the name of nearly everything there. “That’s the judge,” she said to ├──2879: “And that’s the jury-box,” thought Alice, “and those twelve creatures,” ├──2883: proud of it: for she thought, and rightly too, that very few little ├──2887: The twelve jurors were all writing very busily on slates. “What are ├──2900: that all the jurors were writing down “stupid things!” on their slates, ├──2901: and she could even make out that one of them didn’t know how to spell ├──2902: “stupid,” and that he had to ask his neighbour to tell him. “A nice ├──2905: One of the jurors had a pencil that squeaked.
