Chapter 3 Looking-Glass Insects

Of course the first thing to do was to make a grand survey of thecountry she was going to travel through. `It's something very likelearning geography,' thought Alice, as she stood on tiptoe in hopes ofbeing able to see a little further. `Principal rivers--there ARE none.

  Principal mountains--I'm on the only one, but I don't think it's got anyname. Principal towns--why, what ARE those creatures, making honeydown there? They can't be bees--nobody ever saw bees a mile off, youknow--' and for some time she stood silent, watching one of them that wasbustling about among the flowers, poking its proboscis into them, `just asif it was a regular bee,' thought Alice.

  However, this was anything but a regular bee: in fact it was anelephant--as Alice soon found out, though the idea quite took her breathaway at first. `And what enormous flowers they must be!' was her nextidea. `Something like cottages with the roofs taken off, and stalks put tothem--and what quantities of honey they must make! I think I'll go downand--no, I won't JUST yet, ' she went on, checking herself just as she wasbeginning to run down the hill, and trying to find some excuse for turningshy so suddenly. `It'll never do to go down among them without a goodlong branch to brush them away--and what fun it'll be when they ask mehow I like my walk. I shall say-- "Oh, I like it well enough--"' (herecame the favourite little toss of the head), `"only it was so dusty and hot,and the elephants did tease so!"'

  `I think I'll go down the other way,' she said after a pause: `andperhaps I may visit the elephants later on. Besides, I do so want to getinto the Third Square!'

  So with this excuse she ran down the hill and jumped over the firstof the six little brooks.

  * * * * * * ** * * ** ** * * * * * *`Tickets, please!' said the Guard, putting his head in at the window.

  In a moment everybody was holding out a ticket: they were about thesame size as the people, and quite seemed to fill the carriage.

  `Now then! Show your ticket, child!' the Guard went on, lookingangrily at Alice. And a great many voices all said together (`like thechorus of a song,' thought Alice), `Don't keep him waiting, child! Why,his time is worth a thousand pounds a minute!'

  `I'm afraid I haven't got one,' Alice said in a frightened tone: `therewasn't a ticket-office where I came from.' And again the chorus of voiceswent on. `There wasn't room for one where she came from. The landthere is worth a thousand pounds an inch!'

  `Don't make excuses,' said the Guard: `you should have boughtone from the engine-driver.' And once more the chorus of voices went onwith `The man that drives the engine. Why, the smoke alone is worth athousand pounds a puff!'

  Alice thought to herself, `Then there's no use in speaking.' Thevoices didn't join in this time, as she hadn't spoken, but to her greatsurprise, they all THOUGHT in chorus (I hope you understand whatTHINKING IN CHORUS means--for I must confess that _I_ don't),`Better say nothing at all. Language is worth a thousand pounds a word!'

  `I shall dream about a thousand pounds tonight, I know I shall!'

  thought Alice.

  All this time the Guard was looking at her, first through a telescope,then through a microscope, and then through an opera- glass. At last hesaid, `You're travelling the wrong way,' and shut up the window and wentaway.

  `So young a child,' said the gentleman sitting opposite to her (hewas dressed in white paper), `ought to know which way she's going, evenif she doesn't know her own name!'

  A Goat, that was sitting next to the gentleman in white, shut his eyesand said in a loud voice, `She ought to know her way to the ticket-office,even if she doesn't know her alphabet!'

  There was a Beetle sitting next to the Goat (it was a very queercarriage-full of passengers altogether), and, as the rule seemed to be thatthey should all speak in turn, HE went on with `She'll have to go back from here as luggage!'

  Alice couldn't see who was sitting beyond the Beetle, but a hoarsevoice spoke next. `Change engines--' it said, and was obliged to leaveoff.

  `It sounds like a horse,' Alice thought to herself. And an extremelysmall voice, close to her ear, said, `You might make a joke on that-something about "horse" and "hoarse," you know.'

  Then a very gentle voice in the distance said, `She must be labelled"Lass, with care," you know--'

  And after that other voices went on (What a number of people thereare in the carriage!' thought Alice), saying, `She must go by post, as she'sgot a head on her--' `She must be sent as a message by the telegraph--'

  `She must draw the train herself the rest of the way--' and so on.

  But the gentleman dressed in white paper leaned forwards andwhispered in her ear, `Never mind what they all say, my dear, but take areturn-ticket every time the train stops.'

  `Indeed I shan't!' Alice said rather impatiently. `I don't belong tothis railway journey at all--I was in a wood just now --and I wish I couldget back there.'

  `You might make a joke on THAT,' said the little voice close to herear: `something about "you WOULD if you could," you know.'

  `Don't tease so,' said Alice, looking about in vain to see where thevoice came from; `if you're so anxious to have a joke made, why don't youmake one yourself?'

  The little voice sighed deeply: it was VERY unhappy, evidently,and Alice would have said something pitying to comfort it, `If it wouldonly sigh like other people!' she thought. But this was such awonderfully small sigh, that she wouldn't have heard it at all, if it hadn'tcome QUITE close to her ear. The consequence of this was that it tickledher ear very much, and quite took off her thoughts from the unhappinessof the poor little creature.

  `I know you are a friend, the little voice went on; `a dear friend, andan old friend. And you won't hurt me, though I AM an insect.'

  `What kind of insect?' Alice inquired a little anxiously. What she really wanted to know was, whether it could sting or not, but she thoughtthis wouldn't be quite a civil question to ask.

  `What, then you don't--' the little voice began, when it was drownedby a shrill scream from the engine, and everybody jumped up in alarm,Alice among the rest.

  The Horse, who had put his head out of the window, quietly drew itin and said, `It's only a brook we have to jump over.' Everybody seemedsatisfied with this, though Alice felt a little nervous at the idea of trainsjumping at all. `However, it'll take us into the Fourth Square, that's somecomfort!' she said to herself. In another moment she felt the carriage risestraight up into the air, and in her fright she caught at the thing nearest toher hand. which happened to be the Goat's beard.

  * * * * * * ** * * * * ** * * * * * *But the beard seemed to melt away as she touched it, and she foundherself sitting quietly under a tree--while the Gnat (for that was the insectshe had been talking to) was balancing itself on a twig just over her head,and fanning her with its wings.

  It certainly was a VERY large Gnat: `about the size of a chicken,'

  Alice thought. Still, she couldn't feel nervous with it, after they had beentalking together so long.

  `--then you don't like all insects?' the Gnat went on, as quietly as ifnothing had happened.

  `I like them when they can talk,' Alice said. `None of them evertalk, where _I_ come from.'

  `What sort of insects do you rejoice in, where YOU come from?' theGnat inquired.

  `I don't REJOICE in insects at all,' Alice explained, `because I'mrather afraid of them--at least the large kinds. But I can tell you thenames of some of them.'

  `Of course they answer to their names?' the Gnat remarkedcarelessly.

  `I never knew them do it.'

  `What's the use of their having names the Gnat said, `if they won'tanswer to them?'

  `No use to THEM,' said Alice; `but it's useful to the people whoname them, I suppose. If not, why do things have names at all?'

  `I can't say,' the Gnat replied. `Further on, in the wood down there,they've got no names--however, go on with your list of insects: you'rewasting time.'

  `Well, there's the Horse-fly,' Alice began, counting off the names onher fingers.

  `All right,' said the Gnat: `half way up that bush, you'll see aRocking-horse-fly, if you look. It's made entirely of wood, and getsabout by swinging itself from branch to branch.'

  `What does it live on?' Alice asked, with great curiosity.

  `Sap and sawdust,' said the Gnat. `Go on with the list.'

  Alice looked up at the Rocking-horse-fly with great interest, andmade up her mind that it must have been just repainted, it looked so brightand sticky; and then she went on.

  `And there's the Dragon-fly.'

  `Look on the branch above your head,' said the Gnat, `and thereyou'll find a snap-dragon-fly. Its body is made of plum-pudding, itswings of holly-leaves, and its head is a raisin burning in brandy.'

  `And what does it live on?'

  `Frumenty and mince pie,' the Gnat replied; `and it makes its nest ina Christmas box.'

  `And then there's the Butterfly,' Alice went on, after she had taken agood look at the insect with its head on fire, and had thought to herself, `Iwonder if that's the reason insects are so fond of flying into candles-because they want to turn into Snap-dragon-flies!'

  `Crawling at your feet,' said the Gnat (Alice drew her feet back insome alarm), `you may observe a Bread-and-Butterfly. Its wings are thinslices of Bread-and-butter, its body is a crust, and its head is a lump ofsugar.'

  `And what does IT live on?'

  `Weak tea with cream in it.'

  A new difficulty came into Alice's head. `Supposing it couldn'tfind any?' she suggested.

  `Then it would die, of course.'

  `But that must happen very often,' Alice remarked thoughtfully.

  `It always happens,' said the Gnat.

  After this, Alice was silent for a minute or two, pondering. The Gnatamused itself meanwhile by humming round and round her head: at lastit settled again and remarked, `I suppose you don't want to lose yourname?'

  `No, indeed,' Alice said, a little anxiously.

  `And yet I don't know,' the Gnat went on in a careless tone: `onlythink how convenient it would be if you could manage to go home withoutit! For instance, if the governess wanted to call you to your lessons, shewould call out "come here--," and there she would have to leave off,because there wouldn't be any name for her to call, and of course youwouldn't have to go, you know.'

  `That would never do, I'm sure,' said Alice: `the governess wouldnever think of excusing me lessons for that. If she couldn't remember myname, she'd call me "Miss!" as the servants do.'

  `Well. if she said "Miss," and didn't say anything more,' the Gnatremarked, `of course you'd miss your lessons. That's a joke. I wishYOU had made it.'

  `Why do you wish _I_ had made it?' Alice asked. `It's a very badone.'

  But the Gnat only sighed deeply, while two large tears came rollingdown its cheeks.

  `You shouldn't make jokes,' Alice said, `if it makes you so unhappy.'

  Then came another of those melancholy little sighs, and this timethe poor Gnat really seemed to have sighed itself away, for, when Alicelooked up, there was nothing whatever to be seen on the twig, and, as shewas getting quite chilly with sitting still so long, she got up and walkedon.

  She very soon came to an open field, with a wood on the other sideof it: it looked much darker than the last wood, and Alice felt a LITTLE timid about going into it. However, on second thoughts, she made up hermind to go on: `for I certainly won't go BACK,' she thought to herself,and this was the only way to the Eighth Square.

  `This must be the wood, she said thoughtfully to herself, `wherethings have no names. I wonder what'll become of MY name when I goin? I shouldn't like to lose it at all--because they'd have to give meanother, and it would be almost certain to be an ugly one. But then thefun would be trying to find the creature that had got my old name! That'sjust like the advertisements, you know, when people lose dogs-"ANSWERS TO THE NAME OF `DASH:' HAD ON A BRASSCOLLAR"--just fancy calling everything you met "Alice," till one of themanswered! Only they wouldn't answer at all, if they were wise.'

  She was rambling on in this way when she reached the wood: itlooked very cool and shady. `Well, at any rate it's a great comfort,' shesaid as she stepped under the trees, `after being so hot, to get into the--intoWHAT?' she went on, rather surprised at not being able to think of theword. `I mean to get under the--under the--under THIS, you know!'

  putting her hand on the trunk of the tree. `What DOES it call itself, Iwonder? I do believe it's got no name--why, to be sure it hasn't!'

  She stood silent for a minute, thinking: then she suddenly beganagain. `Then it really HAS happened, after all! And now, who am I?

  I WILL remember, if I can! I'm determined to do it!' But beingdetermined didn't help much, and all she could say, after a great deal ofpuzzling, was, `L, I KNOW it begins with L!'

  Just then a Fawn came wandering by: it looked at Alice with itslarge gentle eyes, but didn't seem at all frightened. `Here then! Herethen!' Alice said, as she held out her hand and tried to stroke it; but it onlystarted back a little, and then stood looking at her again.

  `What do you call yourself?' the Fawn said at last. Such a softsweet voice it had!

  `I wish I knew!' thought poor Alice. She answered, rather sadly,`Nothing, just now.'

  `Think again,' it said: `that won't do.'

  Alice thought, but nothing came of it. `Please, would you tell me what YOU call yourself?' she said timidly. `I think that might help alittle.'

  `I'll tell you, if you'll move a little further on,' the Fawn said. `I can'tremember here.'

  So they walked on together though the wood, Alice with her armsclasped lovingly round the soft neck of the Fawn, till they came out intoanother open field, and here the Fawn gave a sudden bound into the air,and shook itself free from Alice's arms. `I'm a Fawn!' it cried out in a voiceof delight, `and, dear me! you're a human child!' A sudden look of alarmcame into its beautiful brown eyes, and in another moment it had dartedaway at full speed.

  Alice stood looking after it, almost ready to cry with vexation athaving lost her dear little fellow-traveller so suddenly. `However, I knowmy name now.' she said, `that's SOME comfort. Alice--Alice--I won'tforget it again. And now, which of these finger-posts ought I to follow, Iwonder?'

  It was not a very difficult question to answer, as there was only oneroad through the wood, and the two finger-posts both pointed along it.

  `I'll settle it,' Alice said to herself, `when the road divides and they pointdifferent ways.'

  But this did not seem likely to happen. She went on and on, a longway, but wherever the road divided there were sure to be two finger-postspointing the same way, one marked `TO TWEEDLEDUM'S HOUSE' andthe other `TO THE HOUSE OF TWEEDLEDEE.'

  `I do believe,' said Alice at last, `that they live in the same house! Iwonder I never thought of that before--But I can't stay there long. I'll justcall and say "how d'you do?" and ask them the way out of the wood. If Icould only get to the Eighth Square before it gets dark!' So she wanderedon, talking to herself as she went, till, on turning a sharp corner, she cameupon two fat little men, so suddenly that she could not help starting back,but in another moment she recovered herself, feeling sure that they must be.

Chapter 2 The Garden of Live Flowers

I should see the garden far better,' said Alice to herself, `if I couldget to the top of that hill: and here's a path that leads straight to it--atleast, no, it doesn't do that--' (after going a few yards along the path, andturning several sharp corners), `but I suppose it will at last. But howcuriously it twists! It's more like a corkscrew than a path! Well, THISturn goes to the hill, I suppose--no, it doesn't! This goes straight back tothe house! Well then, I'll try it the other way.'

  And so she did: wandering up and down, and trying turn after turn,but always coming back to the house, do what she would. Indeed, once,when she turned a corner rather more quickly than usual, she ran against itbefore she could stop herself.

  `It's no use talking about it,' Alice said, looking up at the house andpretending it was arguing with her. `I'm NOT going in again yet. Iknow I should have to get through the Looking-glass again--back into theold room--and there'd be an end of all my adventures!'

  So, resolutely turning her back upon the house, she set out oncemore down the path, determined to keep straight on till she got to the hill.

  For a few minutes all went on well, and she was just saying, `I reallySHALL do it this time--' when the path gave a sudden twist and shookitself (as she described it afterwards), and the next moment she foundherself actually walking in at the door.

  'Oh, it's too bad!' she cried. `I never saw such a house for gettingin the way! Never!'

  However, there was the hill full in sight, so there was nothing to bedone but start again. This time she came upon a large flower-bed, with aborder of daisies, and a willow-tree growing in the middle.

  `O Tiger-lily,' said Alice, addressing herself to one that was wavinggracefully about in the wind, `I WISH you could talk!'

  `We CAN talk,' said the Tiger-lily: `when there's anybody worthtalking to.'

  Alice was so astonished that she could not speak for a minute: it quite seemed to take her breath away. At length, as the Tiger-lily onlywent on waving about, she spoke again, in a timid voice--almost in awhisper. `And can ALL the flowers talk?'

  `As well as YOU can,' said the Tiger-lily. `And a great deallouder.'

  `It isn't manners for us to begin, you know,' said the Rose, `and Ireally was wondering when you'd speak! Said I to myself, "Her face hasgot SOME sense in it, thought it's not a clever one!" Still, you're theright colour, and that goes a long way.'

  `I don't care about the colour,' the Tiger-lily remarked. `If only herpetals curled up a little more, she'd be all right.'

  Alice didn't like being criticised, so she began asking questions.

  `Aren't you sometimes frightened at being planted out here, with nobodyto take care of you?'

  `There's the tree in the middle,' said the Rose: `what else is it goodfor?'

  `But what could it do, if any danger came?' Alice asked.

  `It says "Bough-wough!" cried a Daisy: `that's why its branchesare called boughs!'

  `Didn't you know THAT?' cried another Daisy, and here they allbegan shouting together, till the air seemed quite full of little shrill voices.

  `Silence, every one of you!' cried the Tiger-lily, waving itself passionatelyfrom side to side, and trembling with excitement. `They know I can't getat them!' it panted, bending its quivering head towards Alice, `or theywouldn't dare to do it!'

  `Never mind!' Alice said in a soothing tone, and stooping down tothe daisies, who were just beginning again, she whispered, `If you don'thold your tongues, I'll pick you!'

  There was silence in a moment, and several of the pink daisiesturned white.

  `That's right!' said the Tiger-lily. `The daisies are worst of all.

  When one speaks, they all begin together, and it's enough to make onewither to hear the way they go on!'

  `How is it you can all talk so nicely?' Alice said, hoping to get it into a better temper by a compliment. `I've been in many gardens before, butnone of the flowers could talk.'

  `Put your hand down, and feel the ground,' said the Tiger-lily. `Thenyou'll know why.

  Alice did so. `It's very hard,' she said, `but I don't see what that hasto do with it.'

  `In most gardens,' the Tiger-lily said, `they make the beds too soft-so that the flowers are always asleep.'

  This sounded a very good reason, and Alice was quite pleased toknow it. `I never thought of that before!' she said.

  `It's MY opinion that you never think AT ALL,' the Rose said in arather severe tone.

  `I never saw anybody that looked stupider,' a Violet said, sosuddenly, that Alice quite jumped; for it hadn't spoken before.

  `Hold YOUR tongue!' cried the Tiger-lily. `As if YOU ever sawanybody! You keep your head under the leaves, and snore away there,till you know no more what's going on in the world, than if you were abud!'

  `Are there any more people in the garden besides me?' Alice said,not choosing to notice the Rose's last remark.

  `There's one other flower in the garden that can move about likeyou,' said the Rose. `I wonder how you do it--' (`You're alwayswondering,' said the Tiger-lily), `but she's more bushy than you are.'

  `Is she like me?' Alice asked eagerly, for the thought crossed hermind, `There's another little girl in the garden, somewhere!'

  `Well, she has the same awkward shape as you,' the Rose said, `butshe's redder--and her petals are shorter, I think.'

  `Her petals are done up close, almost like a dahlia,' the Tiger-lilyinterrupted: `not tumbled about anyhow, like yours.'

  `But that's not YOUR fault,' the Rose added kindly: `you'rebeginning to fade, you know--and then one can't help one's petals getting alittle untidy.'

  Alice didn't like this idea at all: so, to change the subject, sheasked `Does she ever come out here?'

  `I daresay you'll see her soon,' said the Rose. `She's one of thethorny kind.'

  `Where does she wear the thorns?' Alice asked with some curiosity.

  `Why all round her head, of course,' the Rose replied. `I waswondering YOU hadn't got some too. I thought it was the regular rule.'

  `She's coming!' cried the Larkspur. `I hear her footstep, thump,thump, thump, along the gravel-walk!'

  Alice looked round eagerly, and found that it was the Red Queen.

  `She's grown a good deal!' was her first remark. She had indeed: whenAlice first found her in the ashes, she had been only three inches high--andhere she was, half a head taller than Alice herself!

  `It's the fresh air that does it,' said the Rose: `wonderfully fine air itis, out here.'

  `I think I'll go and meet her,' said Alice, for, though the flowers wereinteresting enough, she felt that it would be far grander to have a talk witha real Queen.

  `You can't possibly do that,' said the Rose: `_I_ should advise youto walk the other way.'

  This sounded nonsense to Alice, so she said nothing, but set off atonce towards the Red Queen. To her surprise, she lost sight of her in amoment, and found herself walking in at the front-door again.

  A little provoked, she drew back, and after looking everywhere forthe queen (whom she spied out at last, a long way off), she thought shewould try the plan, this time, of walking in the opposite direction.

  It succeeded beautifully. She had not been walking a minutebefore she found herself face to face with the Red Queen, and full in sightof the hill she had been so long aiming at.

  `Where do you come from?' said the Red Queen. `And where areyou going? Look up, speak nicely, and don't twiddle your fingers all thetime.'

  Alice attended to all these directions, and explained, as well as shecould, that she had lost her way.

  `I don't know what you mean by YOUR way,' said the Queen: `allthe ways about here belong to ME--but why did you come out here at all?' she added in a kinder tone. `Curtsey while you're thinking what to say, itsaves time.'

  Alice wondered a little at this, but she was too much in awe of theQueen to disbelieve it. `I'll try it when I go home,' she thought to herself.

  `the next time I'm a little late for dinner.'

  `It's time for you to answer now,' the Queen said, looking at herwatch: `open your mouth a LITTLE wider when you speak, and alwayssay "your Majesty."'

  `I only wanted to see what the garden was like, your Majesty--'

  `That's right,' said the Queen, patting her on the head, which Alicedidn't like at all, `though, when you say "garden,"--I'VE seen gardens,compared with which this would be a wilderness.'

  Alice didn't dare to argue the point, but went on: `--and I thought I'dtry and find my way to the top of that hill--'

  `When you say "hill,"' the Queen interrupted, `_I_ could show youhills, in comparison with which you'd call that a valley.'

  `No, I shouldn't,' said Alice, surprised into contradicting her at last:

  `a hill CAN'T be a valley, you know. That would be nonsense--'

  The Red Queen shook her head, `You may call it "nonsense" if youlike,' she said, `but I'VE heard nonsense, compared with which that wouldbe as sensible as a dictionary!'

  Alice curtseyed again, as she was afraid from the Queen's tone thatshe was a LITTLE offended: and they walked on in silence till they gotto the top of the little hill.

  For some minutes Alice stood without speaking, looking out in alldirections over the country--and a most curious country it was. Therewere a number of tiny little brooks running straight across it from side toside, and the ground between was divided up into squares by a number oflittle green hedges, that reached from brook to brook.

  `I declare it's marked out just like a large chessboard!' Alice said atlast. `There ought to be some men moving about somewhere --and sothere are!' She added in a tone of delight, and her heart began to beat quickwith excitement as she went on. `It's a great huge game of chess that'sbeing played--all over the world--if this IS the world at all, you know.

  Oh, what fun it is! How I WISH I was one of them! I wouldn't mindbeing a Pawn, if only I might join--though of course I should LIKE to be aQueen, best.'

  She glanced rather shyly at the real Queen as she said this, but hercompanion only smiled pleasantly, and said, `That's easily managed. Youcan be the White Queen's Pawn, if you like, as Lily's too young to play;and you're in the Second Square to began with: when you get to theEighth Square you'll be a Queen --' Just at this moment, somehow orother, they began to run.

  Alice never could quite make out, in thinking it over afterwards,how it was that they began: all she remembers is, that they were runninghand in hand, and the Queen went so fast that it was all she could do tokeep up with her: and still the Queen kept crying `Faster! Faster!' butAlice felt she COULD NOT go faster, though she had not breath left tosay so.

  The most curious part of the thing was, that the trees and the otherthings round them never changed their places at all: however fast theywent, they never seemed to pass anything. `I wonder if all the thingsmove along with us?' thought poor puzzled Alice. And the Queenseemed to guess her thoughts, for she cried, `Faster! Don't try to talk!'

  Not that Alice had any idea of doing THAT. She felt as if shewould never be able to talk again, she was getting so much out of breath:

  and still the Queen cried `Faster! Faster!' and dragged her along. `Arewe nearly there?' Alice managed to pant out at last.

  `Nearly there!' the Queen repeated. `Why, we passed it tenminutes ago! Faster!' And they ran on for a time in silence, with thewind whistling in Alice's ears, and almost blowing her hair off her head,she fancied.

  `Now! Now!' cried the Queen. `Faster! Faster!' And theywent so fast that at last they seemed to skim through the air, hardlytouching the ground with their feet, till suddenly, just as Alice was gettingquite exhausted, they stopped, and she found herself sitting on the ground,breathless and giddy.

  The Queen propped her up against a tree, and said kindly, `You may rest a little now.'

  Alice looked round her in great surprise. `Why, I do believe we'vebeen under this tree the whole time! Everything's just as it was!'

  `Of course it is,' said the Queen, `what would you have it?'

  `Well, in OUR country,' said Alice, still panting a little, `you'd generallyget to somewhere else--if you ran very fast for a long time, as we've beendoing.'

  `A slow sort of country!' said the Queen. `Now, HERE, you see, ittakes all the running YOU can do, to keep in the same place. If you wantto get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!'

  `I'd rather not try, please!' said Alice. `I'm quite content to stayhere--only I AM so hot and thirsty!'

  `I know what YOU'D like!' the Queen said good-naturedly, taking alittle box out of her pocket. `Have a biscuit?'

  Alice thought it would not be civil to say `No,' though it wasn't at allwhat she wanted. So she took it, and ate it as well as she could: and itwas VERY dry; and she thought she had never been so nearly choked inall her life.

  `While you're refreshing yourself,' said the Queen, `I'll just take themeasurements.' And she took a ribbon out of her pocket, marked ininches, and began measuring the ground, and sticking little pegs in hereand there.

  `At the end of two yards,' she said, putting in a peg to mark thedistance, `I shall give you your directions--have another biscuit?'

  `No, thank you,' said Alice,: `one's QUITE enough!'

  `Thirst quenched, I hope?' said the Queen.

  Alice did not know what to say to this, but luckily the Queen did notwait for an answer, but went on. `At the end of THREE yards I shallrepeat them--for fear of your forgetting them. At then end of FOUR, Ishall say good-bye. And at then end of FIVE, I shall go!'

  She had got all the pegs put in by this time, and Alice looked onwith great interest as she returned to the tree, and then began slowlywalking down the row.

  At the two-yard peg she faced round, and said, `A pawn goes two squares in its first move, you know. So you'll go VERY quickly throughthe Third Square--by railway, I should think--and you'll find yourself inthe Fourth Square in no time. Well, THAT square belongs toTweedledum and Tweedledee--the Fifth is mostly water--the Sixth belongsto Humpty Dumpty--But you make no remark?'

  `I--I didn't know I had to make one--just then,' Alice faltered out.

  `You SHOULD have said,' `"It's extremely kind of you to tell me allthis"--however, we'll suppose it said--the Seventh Square is all forest-however, one of the Knights will show you the way--and in the EighthSquare we shall be Queens together, and it's all feasting and fun!' Alicegot up and curtseyed, and sat down again.

  At the next peg the Queen turned again, and this time she said,`Speak in French when you can't think of the English for a thing --turn outyour toes as you walk--and remember who you are!' She did not wait forAlice to curtsey this time, but walked on quickly to the next peg, whereshe turned for a moment to say `good-bye,' and then hurried on to the last.

  How it happened, Alice never knew, but exactly as she came to thelast peg, she was gone. Whether she vanished into the air, or whether sheran quickly into the wood (`and she CAN run very fast!' thought Alice),there was no way of guessing, but she was gone, and Alice began toremember that she was a Pawn, and that it would soon be time for her tomove.

Chapter 1 Looking-Glass house

One thing was certain, that the WHITE kitten had had nothing todo with it:--it was the black kitten's fault entirely. For the white kittenhad been having its face washed by the old cat for the last quarter of anhour (and bearing it pretty well, considering); so you see that itCOULDN'T have had any hand in the mischief.

  The way Dinah washed her children's faces was this: first she heldthe poor thing down by its ear with one paw, and then with the other pawshe rubbed its face all over, the wrong way, beginning at the nose: andjust now, as I said, she was hard at work on the white kitten, which waslying quite still and trying to purr--no doubt feeling that it was all meantfor its good.

  But the black kitten had been finished with earlier in the afternoon,and so, while Alice was sitting curled up in a corner of the great arm-chair,half talking to herself and half asleep, the kitten had been having a grandgame of romps with the ball of worsted Alice had been trying to wind up,and had been rolling it up and down till it had all come undone again; andthere it was, spread over the hearth-rug, all knots and tangles, with thekitten running after its own tail in the middle.

  `Oh, you wicked little thing!' cried Alice, catching up the kitten, andgiving it a little kiss to make it understand that it was in disgrace. `Really,Dinah ought to have taught you better manners! You OUGHT, Dinah,you know you ought!' she added, looking reproachfully at the old cat, andspeaking in as cross a voice as she could manage--and then she scrambledback into the arm-chair, taking the kitten and the worsted with her, andbegan winding up the ball again. But she didn't get on very fast, as shewas talking all the time, sometimes to the kitten, and sometimes to herself.

  Kitty sat very demurely on her knee, pretending to watch the progress ofthe winding, and now and then putting out one paw and gently touchingthe ball, as if it would be glad to help, if it might.

  `Do you know what to-morrow is, Kitty?' Alice began. `You'dhave guessed if you'd been up in the window with me--only Dinah was making you tidy, so you couldn't. I was watching the boys getting insticks for the bonfire--and it wants plenty of sticks, Kitty! Only it got socold, and it snowed so, they had to leave off. Never mind, Kitty, we'll goand see the bonfire to-morrow.' Here Alice wound two or three turns ofthe worsted round the kitten's neck, just to see how it would look: thisled to a scramble, in which the ball rolled down upon the floor, and yardsand yards of it got unwound again.

  `Do you know, I was so angry, Kitty,' Alice went on as soon as theywere comfortably settled again, `when I saw all the mischief you had beendoing, I was very nearly opening the window, and putting you out into thesnow! And you'd have deserved it, you little mischievous darling!

  What have you got to say for yourself? Now don't interrupt me!' shewent on, holding up one finger. `I'm going to tell you all your faults.

  Number one: you squeaked twice while Dinah was washing your face thismorning. Now you can't deny it, Kitty: I heard you! What that yousay?' (pretending that the kitten was speaking.) `Her paw went into youreye? Well, that's YOUR fault, for keeping your eyes open--if you'd shutthem tight up, it wouldn't have happened. Now don't make any moreexcuses, but listen! Number two: you pulled Snowdrop away by thetail just as I had put down the saucer of milk before her! What, you werethirsty, were you?

  How do you know she wasn't thirsty too? Now for number three: youunwound every bit of the worsted while I wasn't looking!

  `That's three faults, Kitty, and you've not been punished for any ofthem yet. You know I'm saving up all your punishments for Wednesdayweek--Suppose they had saved up all MY punishments!' she went on,talking more to herself than the kitten. `What WOULD they do at theend of a year? I should be sent to prison, I suppose, when the day came.

  Or--let me see--suppose each punishment was to be going without a dinner:

  then, when the miserable day came, I should have to go without fiftydinners at once! Well, I shouldn't mind THAT much! I'd far rather gowithout them than eat them!

  `Do you hear the snow against the window-panes, Kitty? Hownice and soft it sounds! Just as if some one was kissing the window all over outside. I wonder if the snow LOVES the trees and fields, that itkisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, witha white quilt; and perhaps it says, "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summercomes again." And when they wake up in the summer, Kitty, they dressthemselves all in green, and dance about--whenever the wind blows--oh,that's very pretty!' cried Alice, dropping the ball of worsted to clap herhands. `And I do so WISH it was true! I'm sure the woods look sleepyin the autumn, when the leaves are getting brown.

  `Kitty, can you play chess? Now, don't smile, my dear, I'm askingit seriously. Because, when we were playing just now, you watched justas if you understood it: and when I said "Check!" you purred! Well, itWAS a nice check, Kitty, and really I might have won, if it hadn't been forthat nasty Knight, that came wiggling down among my pieces. Kitty,dear, let's pretend--' And here I wish I could tell you half the things Aliceused to say, beginning with her favourite phrase `Let's pretend.' She hadhad quite a long argument with her sister only the day before --all becauseAlice had begun with `Let's pretend we're kings and queens;' and her sister,who liked being very exact, had argued that they couldn't, because therewere only two of them, and Alice had been reduced at last to say, `Well,YOU can be one of them then, and I'LL be all the rest.' And once shehad really frightened her old nurse by shouting suddenly in her ear, `Nurse!

  Do let's pretend that I'm a hungry hyaena, and you're a bone.'

  But this is taking us away from Alice's speech to the kitten. `Let'spretend that you're the Red Queen, Kitty! Do you know, I think if yousat up and folded your arms, you'd look exactly like her. Now do try,there's a dear!' And Alice got the Red Queen off the table, and set it upbefore the kitten as a model for it to imitate: however, the thing didn'tsucceed, principally, Alice said, because the kitten wouldn't fold its armsproperly. So, to punish it, she held it up to the Looking-glass, that it mightsee how sulky it was--`and if you're not good directly,' she added, `I'll putyou through into Looking-glass House. How would you like THAT?'

  `Now, if you'll only attend, Kitty, and not talk so much, I'll tell youall my ideas about Looking-glass House. First, there's the room you cansee through the glass--that's just the same as our drawing room, only the things go the other way. I can see all of it when I get upon a chair--allbut the bit behind the fireplace. Oh! I do so wish I could see THAT bit!

  I want so much to know whether they've a fire in the winter: you neverCAN tell, you know, unless our fire smokes, and then smoke comes up inthat room too--but that may be only pretence, just to make it look as ifthey had a fire. Well then, the books are something like our books, onlythe words go the wrong way; I know that, because I've held up one of ourbooks to the glass, and then they hold up one in the other room.

  `How would you like to live in Looking-glass House, Kitty? Iwonder if they'd give you milk in there? Perhaps Looking-glass milkisn't good to drink--But oh, Kitty! now we come to the passage. You canjust see a little PEEP of the passage in Looking-glass House, if you leavethe door of our drawing-room wide open: and it's very like our passageas far as you can see, only you know it may be quite different on beyond.

  Oh, Kitty! how nice it would be if we could only get through intoLooking- glass House! I'm sure it's got, oh! such beautiful things in it!

  Let's pretend there's a way of getting through into it, somehow, Kitty.

  Let's pretend the glass has got all soft like gauze, so that we can getthrough. Why, it's turning into a sort of mist now, I declare! It'll beeasy enough to get through--' She was up on the chimney-piece whileshe said this, though she hardly knew how she had got there. Andcertainly the glass WAS beginning to melt away, just like a bright silverymist.

  In another moment Alice was through the glass, and had jumpedlightly down into the Looking-glass room. The very first thing she didwas to look whether there was a fire in the fireplace, and she was quitepleased to find that there was a real one, blazing away as brightly as theone she had left behind. `So I shall be as warm here as I was in the oldroom,' thought Alice: `warmer, in fact, because there'll be no one here toscold me away from the fire. Oh, what fun it'll be, when they see methrough the glass in here, and can't get at me!'

  Then she began looking about, and noticed that what could be seenfrom the old room was quite common and uninteresting, but that all therest was a different as possible. For instance, the pictures on the wall next the fire seemed to be all alive, and the very clock on the chimney-piece (you know you can only see the back of it in the Looking-glass) hadgot the face of a little old man, and grinned at her.

  `They don't keep this room so tidy as the other,' Alice thought toherself, as she noticed several of the chessmen down in the hearth amongthe cinders: but in another moment, with a little `Oh!' of surprise, shewas down on her hands and knees watching them. The chessmen werewalking about, two and two!

  `Here are the Red King and the Red Queen,' Alice said (in a whisper,for fear of frightening them), `and there are the White King and the WhiteQueen sitting on the edge of the shovel--and here are two castles walkingarm in arm--I don't think they can hear me,' she went on, as she put herhead closer down, `and I'm nearly sure they can't see me. I feel somehowas if I were invisible--'

  Here something began squeaking on the table behind Alice, andmade her turn her head just in time to see one of the White Pawns roll overand begin kicking: she watched it with great curiosity to see what wouldhappen next.

  `It is the voice of my child!' the White Queen cried out as sherushed past the King, so violently that she knocked him over among thecinders. `My precious Lily! My imperial kitten!' and she beganscrambling wildly up the side of the fender.

  `Imperial fiddlestick!' said the King, rubbing his nose, which hadbeen hurt by the fall. He had a right to be a LITTLE annoyed with theQueen, for he was covered with ashes from head to foot.

  Alice was very anxious to be of use, and, as the poor little Lily wasnearly screaming herself into a fit, she hastily picked up the Queen and sether on the table by the side of her noisy little daughter.

  The Queen gasped, and sat down: the rapid journey through the airhad quite taken away her breath and for a minute or two she could donothing but hug the little Lily in silence. As soon as she had recoveredher breath a little, she called out to the White King, who was sitting sulkilyamong the ashes, `Mind the volcano!'

  `What volcano?' said the King, looking up anxiously into the fire, as if he thought that was the most likely place to find one.

  `Blew--me--up,' panted the Queen, who was still a little out ofbreath. `Mind you come up--the regular way--don't get blown up!'

  Alice watched the White King as he slowly struggled up from bar tobar, till at last she said, `Why, you'll be hours and hours getting to the table,at that rate. I'd far better help you, hadn't I?' But the King took nonotice of the question: it was quite clear that he could neither hear hernor see her.

  So Alice picked him up very gently, and lifted him across moreslowly than she had lifted the Queen, that she mightn't take his breathaway: but, before she put him on the table, she thought she might as welldust him a little, he was so covered with ashes.

  She said afterwards that she had never seen in all her life such a faceas the King made, when he found himself held in the air by an invisiblehand, and being dusted: he was far too much astonished to cry out, buthis eyes and his mouth went on getting larger and larger, and rounder androunder, till her hand shook so with laughing that she nearly let him dropupon the floor.

  `Oh! PLEASE don't make such faces, my dear!' she cried out, quiteforgetting that the King couldn't hear her. `You make me laugh so that Ican hardly hold you! And don't keep your mouth so wide open! All theashes will get into it--there, now I think you're tidy enough!' she added, asshe smoothed his hair, and set him upon the table near the Queen.

  The King immediately fell flat on his back, and lay perfectly still:

  and Alice was a little alarmed at what she had done, and went round theroom to see if she could find any water to throw over him. However, shecould find nothing but a bottle of ink, and when she got back with it shefound he had recovered, and he and the Queen were talking together in afrightened whisper--so low, that Alice could hardly hear what they said.

  The King was saying, `I assure, you my dear, I turned cold to thevery ends of my whiskers!'

  To which the Queen replied, `You haven't got any whiskers.'

  `The horror of that moment,' the King went on, `I shall never,NEVER forget!'

  `You will, though,' the Queen said, `if you don't make amemorandum of it.'

  Alice looked on with great interest as the King took an enormousmemorandum-book out of his pocket, and began writing. A suddenthought struck her, and she took hold of the end of the pencil, which camesome way over his shoulder, and began writing for him.

  The poor King look puzzled and unhappy, and struggled with thepencil for some time without saying anything; but Alice was too strong forhim, and at last he panted out, `My dear! I really MUST get a thinnerpencil. I can't manage this one a bit; it writes all manner of things that Idon't intend--'

  `What manner of things?' said the Queen, looking over the book (inwhich Alice had put `THE WHITE KNIGHT IS SLIDING DOWN THEPOKER. HE BALANCES VERY BADLY') `That's not amemorandum of YOUR feelings!'

  There was a book lying near Alice on the table, and while she satwatching the White King (for she was still a little anxious about him, andhad the ink all ready to throw over him, in case he fainted again), sheturned over the leaves, to find some part that she could read, `--for it's allin some language I don't know,' she said to herself.

  It was like this.

  YKCOWREBBAJsevot yhtils eht dna ,gillirb sawT`ebaw eht ni elbmig dna eryg diD ,sevogorob ehterew ysmim llA .ebargtuo shtar emom eht dnAShe puzzled over this for some time, but at last a bright thoughtstruck her. `Why, it's a Looking-glass book, of course! And if I hold it upto a glass, the words will all go the right way again.'

  This was the poem that Alice read.

  JABBERWOCKY'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Didgyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were theborogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.

  `Beware the Jabberwock, my son!

  The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jujubbird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!'

  He took his vorpal sword in hand:

  Long time the manxome foe he sought-- So rested he bythe Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought.

  And as in uffish thought he stood,The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whifflingthrough the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came!

  One, two! One, two! And through and throughThe vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, andwith its head He went galumphing back.

  `And has thou slain the Jabberwock?

  Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day!

  Calloh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy.

  'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Didgyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were theborogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.

  `It seems very pretty,' she said when she had finished it, `but it'sRATHER hard to understand!' (You see she didn't like to confess, ever toherself, that she couldn't make it out at all.) `Somehow it seems to fill myhead with ideas--only I don't exactly know what they are! However,SOMEBODY killed SOMETHING: that's clear, at any rate--'

  `But oh!' thought Alice, suddenly jumping up, `if I don't make haste Ishall have to go back through the Looking-glass, before I've seen what therest of the house is like! Let's have a look at the garden first!' She wasout of the room in a moment, and ran down stairs--or, at least, it wasn'texactly running, but a new invention of hers for getting down stairsquickly and easily, as Alice said to herself. She just kept the tips of herfingers on the hand-rail, and floated gently down without even touchingthe stairs with her feet; then she floated on through the hall, and wouldhave gone straight out at the door in the same way, if she hadn't caughthold of the door-post. She was getting a little giddy with so muchfloating in the air, and was rather glad to find herself walking again in thenatural way.
