"`I wish I hadn't cried so much' said Alice, as she swam about."
"The Rabbit ... skurried away into the darkness as hard as he could go."
"The Rabbit started violently,
dropped the white kid
gloves and the fan..."
"The Rabbit started violently, dropped the white kid gloves and the fan, and skurried away into the darkness as hard
as he could go."
"Alice felt so desperate that she was ready to ask help of any one; so, when the Rabbit
came near her, she began, in a low, timid voice, `If you please,
sir--' "
"Alice led the way, and the whole party swam to the shore."
"Curiouser and curiouser' cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good
English); `now I'm opening out like the largest telescope that
ever was."
"It was the White Rabbit returning, splendidly dressed, with a pair of white kid gloves in one hand and a large fan in the other."
"She took down a jar from one of the shelves as she passed; it was labelled `ORANGE MARMALADE', but to her great disappointment it was empty."
"However, on the second time round, she came upon a low curtain she had not noticed before, and behind it was a little door about fifteen inches high: she tried the little golden key
in the lock, and to her great delight it fitted."
"So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble
of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her."
this time she found a little bottle on it, (`which certainly was not here before,' said Alice,) and round the neck
of the bottle was a paper label, with the words `DRINK ME' beautifully printed on it in large letters.
"The Rabbit actually TOOK A WATCH OUT OF ITS WAISTCOAT-POCKET, and looked at it, and then hurried on."
"Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never
before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it."
"Alice had no idea what to do, and in despair she put her hand in her pocket, and pulled out a box of comfits, (luckily the salt water had not got into it), and handed them round as prizes. There was exactly one a-piece all round."
"They all sat down at once, in a large ring, with the Mouse in the middle."

"`Now tell me, Pat, what's that in the window?'
`Sure, it's an arm, yer honour' "
"The poor little Lizard, Bill, was in the middle, being held up by
two guinea-pigs, who were giving it something out of a bottle."
"She ran out of the house, and found quite a crowd of little animals and birds waiting outside. The poor little Lizard, Bill, was in the middle, being held up by two guinea-pigs, who were giving it something out of a bottle."
"It did so indeed, and much sooner than she had expected: before she had drunk half the bottle, she found her head pressing
against the ceiling, and had to stoop to save her neck from being broken."
"She stretched herself up on tiptoe, and peeped over the edge ofthe mushroom, and her eyes immediately met those of a large caterpillar, that was sitting on the top with its arms folded,
quietly smoking a long hookah, and taking not the smallest notice of her or of anything else."
"`Who are YOU?' said
the Caterpillar."
"The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence."
"At last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth, and addressed her in a languid, sleepy voice."
"The next thing was to eat the comfits: this caused some noise and confusion, as the large birds complained that they could not taste theirs, and the small ones choked and had to be patted on the back."

"The door led right into a large kitchen, which was full of smoke from one end to the other: the Duchess was sitting on a three-legged stool in the middle, nursing a baby; the cook was leaning over the fire,stirring a large cauldron which seemed to be full of soup."
"She said the last word with such sudden violence that Alice quite jumped; but she saw in another moment that it was addressed to the baby, and not to her, so she took courage, and went on again:--"
"Alice caught the baby with some difficulty, as it was a queer-
shaped little creature, and held out its arms and legs in all directions, `just like a starfish,' thought Alice."
"Alice went timidly up to the door, and knocked.
`There's no sort of use in knocking,' said the Footman."
"The Fish-Footman began by producing from under his arm a great letter, nearly as large as himself, and this he handed over to the other, saying, in a solemn tone, `For the Duchess. An
invitation from the Queen to play croquet.' "
"This time there could be NO mistake about it: it was neither more nor less than a pig, and she felt that it would be quite absurd for her to carry it further.
So she set the little creature down, and felt quite relieved to see it trot away quietly into the wood."
"While she was trying to fix on one, the cook took
the cauldron of soup off the fire, and at once set to work throwing everything within her reach at the Duchess and the baby"
"The baby grunted again, and Alice looked very anxiously into its face to see what was the matter with it. There could be no
doubt that it had a VERY turn-up nose, much more like a snout than a real nose"
"As soon as she had made out the proper way of nursing it,
(which was to twist it up into a sort of knot, and then keep tight hold of its right ear and left foot, so as to prevent its undoing itself,) she carried it out into the open air."
"She was a little startled by seeing the Cheshire Cat sitting on a bough of a tree a few yards off.
The Cat only grinned when it saw Alice."
"There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it: a Dormouse was sitting between them, fast asleep, and the other two were using it as a cushion, resting their elbows on it, and talking over its head."
"The table was a large one, but the three were all crowded together at one corner of it: `No room No room' they cried out when they saw Alice coming."
"`There's PLENTY of room' said
Alice indignantly, and she sat down in a large arm-chair at one
end of the table.
`Have some wine,' the March Hare said in an encouraging tone.
Alice looked all round the table, but there was nothing on it but tea. `I don't see any wine,' she remarked.
`There isn't any,' said the March Hare."
"The Hatter opened his eyes very wide on hearing this; but all he SAID was, `Why is a raven like a writing-desk?'"
"`There's PLENTY of room' said Alice indignantly, and she sat down in a large arm-chair at one end of the table."
"A large rose-tree stood near the entrance of the garden: the roses growing on it were white, but there were three gardeners at it, busily painting them red."
"Alice thought this a very curious thing, and she went nearer to watch them, and just as she came up to them she heard one of them say, `Look out now, Five Don't go splashing paint over me like that'"
"`You shan't be beheaded' said Alice, and she put them into a large flower-pot that stood near. "
"`Nonsense' said Alice, very loudly and decidedly, and the Queen was silent."
"Alice thought this a very curious thing, and she went nearer to watch them, and just as she came up to them she heard one of them say, `Look out now, Five Don't go splashing paint over me like that'"
"`Idiot' said the Queen, tossing her head impatiently; and, turning to Alice, she went on, `What's your name, child?'
`My name is Alice, so please your Majesty,' said Alice very politely."
" The chief difficulty Alice found at first was in managing her flamingo: she succeeded in getting its body tucked away, comfortably enough, under her arm, with its legs hanging down, but generally, just as she had got its neck nicely straightened out, and was going to give the hedgehog a blow with its head, it WOULD twist itself round and look up in her face, with such a puzzled expression that she could not help bursting out laughing."
"`I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: `however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
`I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked."
"When she got back to the Cheshire Cat, she was surprised to
find quite a large crowd collected round it: there was a dispute
going on between the executioner, the King, and the Queen, who
were all talking at once, while all the rest were quite silent, and looked very uncomfortable."
"So they went up to the Mock Turtle, who looked at them with large eyes full of tears, but said nothing."
"`I'll tell it to her,' said the Mock Turtle in a deep, hollow tone: `sit down, both of you, and don't speak a word till I've
finished.'
So they sat down, and nobody spoke for some minutes."
"She had quite forgotten the Duchess by this time, and was a little startled when she heard her voice close to her ear.
`You're thinking about something, my dear, and that makes you forget to talk. I can't tell you just now what the moral of that
is, but I shall remember it in a bit."

"Alice did not much like keeping so close to her: first, because the Duchess was VERY ugly; and secondly, because she was exactly the right height to rest her chin upon Alice's shoulder, and it was an uncomfortably sharp chin."

"So they began solemnly dancing round and round Alice, every now and then treading on her toes when they passed too close"
"So they began solemnly dancing round and round Alice, every now and then treading on her toes when they passed too close, and waving their forepaws to mark the time, while the Mock Turtle sang."
"So they began solemnly dancing round and round Alice, every now and then treading on her toes when they passed too close."
" `Come on' cried the Gryphon, and, taking Alice by the hand, it hurried off, without waiting for the end of the song."
"The King and Queen of Hearts were seated on their throne when they arrived, with a great crowd assembled about them--all sorts
of little birds and beasts, as well as the whole pack of cards: the Knave was standing before them, in chains, with a soldier on each side to guard him; and near the King was the White Rabbit, with a trumpet in one hand, and a scroll of parchment in the
other."
" `Herald, read the accusation' said the King."
"Here the Queen put on her spectacles, and began staring at the Hatter, who turned pale and fidgeted."
"`There's more evidence to come yet, please your Majesty,' said the White Rabbit, jumping up in a great hurry; `this paper has just been picked up.'"
"'Here' cried Alice, quite forgetting in the flurry of the moment how large she had grown in the last few minutes, and she jumped up in such a hurry that she tipped over the jury-box with the edge of her skirt, upsetting all the jurymen on to the heads of the crowd below, and there they lay sprawling about, reminding
her very much of a globe of goldfish she had accidentally upset
the week before."
"Who cares for you?' said Alice, (she had grown to her full size by this time.) `You're nothing but a pack of cards'
At this the whole pack rose up into the air, and came flying down upon her."
"At this the whole pack rose up into the air, and came flying down upon her: she gave a little scream, half of fright and half of anger, and tried to beat them off."
