A White Rabbit came -running by, in a great hurry; and, just as it passed Alice, it stopped, -and took its watch out of its pocket.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_2" id="Page_2">[2]</a></span></p> - -<p>Wasn’t <em>that</em> a funny thing? Did <em>you</em> ever see a Rabbit that -had a watch, and a pocket to put it in? Of course, when a Rabbit has a -watch, it <em>must</em> have a pocket to put it in: it would never do to carry -it about in its mouth——and it wants its hands sometimes, to -run about with.</p> - -<p>Hasn’t it got pretty pink eyes (I think <em>all</em> White Rabbits -have pink eyes); and pink ears; and a nice brown coat; and you can just -see its red pocket-handkerchief peeping out of its coat-pocket: and, -what with its blue neck-tie and its yellow waistcoat, it really is -<em>very</em> nicely dressed.</p> - -<p>“Oh dear, oh dear!” said the Rabbit. “I shall be -too late!” <em>What</em> would it be too late <em>for</em>, I wonder? Well, you -see, it had to go and visit the Duchess (you’ll see a picture -of the Duchess, soon, sitting in her kitchen): and the Duchess was a -very cross old lady: and the Rabbit <em>knew</em> she’d be very angry -indeed if he kept her waiting. So the poor thing was as frightened as -frightened could be (Don’t you see how he’s trembling? -Just shake the book a little,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_3" -id="Page_3">[3]</a></span> from side to side, and you’ll soon see -him tremble), because he thought the Duchess would have his head cut -off, for a punishment. That was what the Queen of Hearts used to do, -when <em>she</em> was angry with people (you’ll see a picture of <em>her</em>, -soon): at least she used to <em>order</em> their heads to be cut off, and she -always <em>thought</em> it was done, though they never <em>really</em> did it.</p> - -<p>And so, when the White Rabbit ran away, Alice wanted to see what -would happen to it: so she ran after it: and she ran, and she ran, till -she tumbled right down the rabbit-hole.</p> - -<p>And then she had a very long fall indeed. Down, and down, and down, -till she began to wonder if she was going right <em>through</em> the World, so -as to come out on the other side!</p> - -<p>It was just like a very deep well: only there was no water in it. -If anybody <em>really</em> had such a fall as that, it would kill them, most -likely: but you know it doesn’t hurt a bit to fall in a <em>dream</em>, -because, all the time you <em>think</em> you’re falling, you really -<em>are</em> lying somewhere, safe and sound, and fast asleep!</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_4" id="Page_4">[4]</a></span></p> - -<p>However, this terrible fall came to an end at last, and down came -Alice on a heap of sticks and dry leaves. But she wasn’t a bit -hurt, and up she jumped, and ran after the Rabbit again.</p> - -<p>And so that was the beginning of Alice’s curious dream. And, -next time you see a White Rabbit, try and fancy <em>you’re</em> going to -have a curious dream, just like dear little Alice.</p> - -<div class="chapter"></div> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_5" id="Page_5">[5]</a></span></p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 189px;"> - <a href="images/i_017.jpg"> - <img src="images/i_017tn.jpg" width="189" height="300" alt="Alice with bottle labeled drink" /> - </a> -</div> - -<h2>II.<br /> - -HOW ALICE GREW TALL.</h2> - -<p><span class="smcap">And</span> so, after Alice had tumbled down the -rabbit-hole, and had run a long long way underground, all of a sudden -she found herself in a great hall, with doors all round it.</p> - -<p>But all the doors were locked: so, you see, poor Alice -couldn’t get out of the hall: and that made her very sad.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">[6]</a></span></p> - -<p>However, after a little while, she came to a little table, all made -of glass, with three legs (There are <em>two</em> of the legs in the picture, -and just the <em>beginning</em> of the other leg, do you see?), and on the -table was a little key: and she went round the hall, and tried if she -could unlock any of the doors with it.</p> - -<p>Poor Alice! The key wouldn’t unlock <em>any</em> of the doors. But at -last she came upon a tiny little door: and oh, how glad she was, when -she found the key would fit it!</p> - -<p>So she unlocked the tiny little door, and she stooped down and -looked through it, and what do you think she saw? Oh, such a beautiful -garden! And she did so <em>long</em> to go into it! But the door was <em>far</em> too -small. She couldn’t squeeze herself through, any more than <em>you</em> -could squeeze yourself into a mouse-hole!</p> - -<p>So poor little Alice locked up the door, and took the key back to -the table again: and <em>this</em> time she found quite a new thing on it -(now look at the picture again), and what do you think it was? It was -a little bottle, with a label<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_7" -id="Page_7">[7]</a></span> tied to it, with the words “DRINK -ME” on the label.</p> - -<p>So she tasted it: and it was <em>very</em> nice: so she set to work, -and drank it up. And then <em>such</em> a curious thing happened to her! -You’ll never guess what it was: so I shall have to tell you. -She got smaller, and smaller, till at last she was just the size of a -little doll!</p> - -<p>Then she said to herself “<em>Now</em> I’m the right size to -get through the little door!” And away she ran. But, when she got -there, the door was locked, and the key was on the top of the table, -and she couldn’t reach it! <em>Wasn’t</em> it a pity she had -locked up the door again?</p> - -<div class="figright" style="width: 162px;"> - <a href="images/i_020.jpg"> - <img src="images/i_020tn.jpg" width="162" height="400" alt="very tall Alice with very long neck" /> - </a> -</div> - -<p>Well, the next thing she found was a little cake: and it had the -words “EAT ME” marked on it. So of course she set to work -and ate it up. And <em>then</em> what do you think happened to her? No, -you’ll never guess! I shall have to tell you again.</p> - -<p>She grew, and she grew, and she grew. Taller than she was before! -Taller than <em>any</em> child! Taller than any grown-up person! Taller,<span -class="pagenum"><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">[8]</a></span> and taller, -and taller! Just look at the picture, and you’ll <em>see</em> how tall -she got!</p> - -<p>Which would <em>you</em> have liked the best, do you think, to be a little -tiny Alice, no larger than a kitten, or a great tall Alice, with your -head always knocking against the ceiling?</p> - -<div class="chapter"></div> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_9" id="Page_9">[9]</a></span></p> - -<h2>III.<br /> - -THE POOL OF TEARS.</h2> - -<p><span class="smcap">Perhaps</span> you think Alice must have been -very much pleased, when she had eaten the little cake, to find herself -growing so tremendously tall? Because of course it would be easy -enough, <em>now</em>, to reach the little key off the glass table, and to open -the little tiny door.</p> - -<p>Well, of course she could do <em>that</em>: but what good was it to get the -door open, when she couldn’t get <em>through</em>? She was worse off -than ever, poor thing! She could just manage, by putting her head down, -close to the ground, to <em>look</em> through with one eye! But that was <em>all</em> -she could do. No wonder the poor tall child sat down and cried as if -her heart would break.</p> - -<p>So she cried, and she cried. And her tears ran down the middle -of the hall, like a deep<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_10" -id="Page_10">[10]</a></span> river. And very soon there was quite a -large Pool of Tears, reaching half-way down the hall.</p> - -<p>And there she might have staid, till this very day, if the White -Rabbit hadn’t happened to come through the hall, on his way to -visit the Duchess. He was dressed up as grand as grand could be, and -he had a pair of white kid gloves in one hand, and a little fan in the -other hand: and he kept on muttering to himself “Oh, the Duchess, -the Duchess! Oh, <em>won’t</em> she be savage if I’ve kept her -waiting!”</p> - -<p>But he didn’t see Alice, you know. So, when she began to say -“If you please, Sir——” her voice seemed to come -from the top of the hall, because her head was so high up. And the -Rabbit was dreadfully frightened: and he dropped the gloves and the -fan, and ran away as hard as he could go.</p> - -<p>Then a <em>very</em> curious thing indeed happened. Alice took up the fan, -and began to fan herself with it: and, lo and behold, she got quite -small again, and, all in a minute, she was just about the size of a -mouse!</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11">[11]</a></span></p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 442px;"> - <a href="images/i_023.jpg"> - <img src="images/i_023tn.jpg" width="442" height="300" alt="Alice and a mouse in water" /> - </a> -</div> - -<p>Now look at the picture, and you’ll soon guess what happened -next. It looks just like the sea, doesn’t it? But it <em>really</em> is -the Pool of Tears——all made of <em>Alice’s</em> tears, you -know!</p> - -<p>And Alice has tumbled into the Pool: and the Mouse has tumbled in: -and there they are, swimming about together.</p> - -<p>Doesn’t Alice look pretty, as she swims across the picture? -You can just see her blue stockings, far away under the water.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_12" -id="Page_12">[12]</a></span></p> - -<p>But why is the Mouse swimming away from Alice in such a hurry? Well, -the reason is, that Alice began talking about cats and dogs: and a -Mouse always <em>hates</em> talking about cats and dogs!</p> - -<p>Suppose <em>you</em> were swimming about, in a Pool of your own Tears: and -suppose somebody began talking to <em>you</em> about lesson-books and bottles -of medicine, wouldn’t <em>you</em> swim away as hard as you could -go?</p> - -<div class="chapter"></div> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_13" id="Page_13">[13]</a></span></p> - -<h2>IV.<br /> - -THE CAUCUS-RACE.</h2> - -<p><span class="smcap">When</span> Alice and the Mouse had got out of -the Pool of Tears, of course they were very wet: and so were a lot of -other curious creatures, that had tumbled in as well. There was a Dodo -(that’s the great bird, in front, leaning on a walking-stick); -and a Duck; and a Lory (that’s just behind the Duck, looking over -its head); and an Eaglet (that’s on the left-hand side of the -Lory); and several others.</p> - -<p>Well, and so they didn’t know how in the world they were -to get dry again. But the Dodo——who was a very wise -bird——told them the right way was to have a Caucus-Race. -And what do you think <em>that</em> was?</p> - -<p><em>You don’t know?</em> Well, you <em>are</em> an ignorant child! Now, be -very attentive, and I’ll soon cure you of your ignorance!</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_14" -id="Page_14">[14]</a></span></p> - -<p>First, you must have a <em>racecourse</em>. It ought to be a <em>sort</em> of -circle, but it doesn’t much matter <em>what</em> shape it is, so long as -it goes a good way round, and joins on to itself again.</p> - -<p>Then, you must put all the <em>racers</em> on the course, here and there: -it doesn’t matter <em>where</em>, so long as you don’t crowd them -too much together.</p> - -<p>Then, you needn’t say “One, two, three, and away!” -but let them all set off running just when they like, and leave off -just when they like.</p> - -<p>So all these creatures, Alice and all, went on running round and -round, till they were all quite dry again. And then the Dodo said -<em>everybody</em> had won, and <em>everybody</em> must have prizes!</p> - -<p>Of course <em>Alice</em> had to give them their prizes.

Quick, now!”</p> - -<p>Perhaps he couldn’t see very clearly with his pink eyes: -for I’m sure Alice doesn’t look very <em>like</em> a housemaid, -<em>does</em> she? However she was a very good-natured little girl: so she -wasn’t a bit offended, but ran off to the Rabbit’s house as -quick as she could.</p> - -<p>It was lucky she found the door open: for, if she had had to ring, I -suppose the <em>real</em> Mary Ann would have come to open the door: and she -would <em>never</em> have let Alice come in.

So Alice was very glad to run away, while it -wasn’t looking.</p> - -<p>Well, she wandered up and down, and didn’t know what in the -world to do, to make herself grow up to her right size again.

The -smoke comes through that long tube, that winds round and round like a -serpent.</p> - -<p>And do you see its long nose and chin? At least, they <em>look</em> exactly -like a nose and chin, don’t they? But they really <em>are</em> two of -its legs. You know a Caterpillar has got <em>quantities</em> of legs: you can -see some more of them, further down.</p> - -<p>What a bother it must be to a Caterpillar, counting over such a lot -of legs, every night, to make sure it hasn’t lost any of them!</p> - -<p>And <em>another</em> great bother must be, having to settle <em>which</em> leg -it had better move first. I think, if <em>you</em> had forty or fifty legs, -and if you wanted to go a walk, you’d be such a time in settling -which leg to begin with, that you’d never go a walk at all!</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_28" -id="Page_28">[28]</a></span></p> - -<p>And what did Alice and the Caterpillar <em>talk</em> about, I wonder?</p> - -<p>Well, Alice told it how <em>very</em> confusing it was, being first one -size and then another.</p> - -<p>And the Caterpillar asked her if she liked the size she was, just -then.</p> - -<p>And Alice said she would like to be just a <em>little</em> bit -larger——three inches was such a <em>wretched</em> height to be! -(Just mark off three inches on the wall, about the length of your -middle finger, and you’ll see what size she was.)</p> - -<p>And the Caterpillar told her one side of the mushroom would make her -grow <em>taller</em>, and the other side would make her grow <em>shorter</em>.</p> - -<p>So Alice took two little bits of it with her to nibble, and managed -to make herself quite a nice comfortable height, before she went on to -visit the Duchess.</p> - -<div class="chapter"></div> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_29" id="Page_29">[29]</a></span></p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 360px;"> - <a href="images/i_041.jpg"> - <img src="images/i_041tn.jpg" width="360" height="300" alt="Duchess holding a baby while Alice looks on and the cook is cooking" /> - </a> -</div> - -<h2>VIII.<br /> - -THE PIG-BABY.</h2> - -<p><span class="smcap">Would</span> you like to hear about -Alice’s visit to the Duchess?

The Duchess sat in the -middle of the room, nursing the Baby. The Baby was howling. The soup -was boiling. The Cook was stirring the soup. The Cat——it -was a <em>Cheshire</em> Cat——was grinning, as Cheshire Cats always -do. All these things were happening just as Alice went in.</p> - -<p>The Duchess has a beautiful cap and gown, hasn’t she? But -I’m afraid she <em>hasn’t</em> got a very beautiful <em>face</em>.</p> - -<p>The Baby——well, I daresay you’ve seen <em>several</em> -nicer babies than <em>that</em>: and more good-tempered ones, too. However, -take a good look at it, and we’ll see if you know it again, next -time you meet it!</p> - -<p>The Cook——well, you <em>may</em> have seen nicer cooks, once or -twice.</p> - -<p>But I’m nearly sure you’ve <em>never</em> seen a nicer <em>Cat</em>! -Now <em>have</em> you? And <em>wouldn’t</em> you like to have a Cat of your -own, just like that one, with lovely green eyes, and smiling so -sweetly?</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_31" -id="Page_31">[31]</a></span></p> - -<p>The Duchess was very rude to Alice. And no wonder. Why, she even -called her own <em>Baby</em> “Pig!” And it <em>wasn’t</em> a Pig, -<em>was</em> it? And she ordered the Cook to chop off Alice’s head: -though of course the Cook didn’t do it: and at last she threw the -Baby at her! So Alice caught the Baby, and took it away with her: and I -think that was about the best thing she could do.</p> - -<p>So she wandered away, through the wood, carrying the ugly little -thing with her. And a great job it was to keep hold of it, it wriggled -about so. But at last she found out that the <em>proper</em> way was, to keep -tight hold of its left foot and its right ear.</p> - -<p>But don’t <em>you</em> try to hold on to a Baby like that, my Child! -There are not many babies that <em>like</em> being nursed in <em>that</em> way!</p> - -<p>Well, and so the Baby kept grunting, and grunting so that Alice had -to say to it, quite seriously, “If you’re going to turn -into a <em>Pig</em>, my dear, I’ll have nothing more to do with you. -Mind now!”</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_32" id="Page_32">[32]</a></span></p> - -<div class="figright" style="width: 201px;"> - <a href="images/i_044.jpg"> - <img src="images/i_044tn.jpg" width="201" height="300" alt="Alice holding the pig" /> - </a> -</div> - -<p>And at last she looked down into its face, and what <em>do</em> you think -had happened to it? Look at the picture, and see if you can guess.</p> - -<p>“Why, <em>that’s</em> not the Baby that Alice was nursing, is -it?”</p> - -<p>Ah, I <em>knew</em> you wouldn’t know it again, though I told you to -take a good look at it! Yes, it <em>is</em> the Baby. And it’s turned -into a little <em>Pig</em>!</p> - -<p>So Alice put it down, and let it trot away into the wood. And she -said to herself “It was a <em>very</em> ugly <em>Baby</em>: but it makes rather -a handsome <em>Pig</em>, I think.”</p> - -<p>Don’t you think she was right?</p> - -<div class="chapter"></div> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_33" id="Page_33">[33]</a></span></p> - -<h2>IX.<br /> - -THE CHESHIRE-CAT.</h2> - -<p><span class="smcap">All</span> alone, all alone!

No -Baby, not even a <em>Pig</em> to keep her company!</p> - -<p>So you may be sure she was very glad indeed, when she saw the -Cheshire-Cat, perched up in a tree, over her head.</p> - -<p>The Cat has a very nice smile, no doubt: but just look what a lot of -teeth it’s got! Isn’t Alice just a <em>little</em> shy of it?</p> - -<p>Well, yes, a <em>little</em>. But then, it couldn’t help having -teeth, you know: and it <em>could</em> have helped smiling, supposing it had -been cross.

There’s a little lesson I want to teach -<em>you</em>, while we’re looking at this picture of Alice and the Cat. -Now don’t be in a bad temper about it, my dear Child! It’s -a very <em>little</em> lesson indeed!</p> - -<p>Do you see that Fox-Glove growing close to the tree? And do -you know why it’s called a <em>Fox</em>-Glove? Perhaps you<span -class="pagenum"><a name="Page_35" id="Page_35">[35]</a></span> think -it’s got something to do with a Fox? No indeed! <em>Foxes</em> never -wear Gloves!</p> - -<p>The right word is “<em>Folk’s</em>-Gloves.” Did you ever -hear that Fairies used to be called “the good <em>Folk</em>”?</p> - -<p>Now we’ve finished the lesson, and we’ll wait a minute, -till you’ve got your temper again.</p> - -<p>Well? Do you feel quite good-natured again? No temper-ache? No -crossness about the corners of the mouth? Then we’ll go on.</p> - -<p>“Cheshire Puss!” said Alice. (<em>Wasn’t</em> that a -pretty name for a Cat?) “Would you tell me which way I ought to -go from here?”</p> - -<p>And so the Cheshire-Cat told her which way she ought to go, if she -wanted to visit the Hatter, and which way to go, to visit the March -Hare. “They’re both mad!” said the Cat.</p> - -<p>And then the Cat vanished away, just like the flame of a candle when -it goes out!</p> - -<p>So Alice set off, to visit the March Hare. And as she went along, -there was the Cat again!

You ca’n’t see all the table, -you know, and even in the bit you <em>can</em> see there are nine cups, -counting the one the March Hare has got in his hand.</p> - -<p>That’s the March Hare, with the long ears, and straws mixed -up with his hair. The straws<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_38" -id="Page_38">[38]</a></span> showed he was mad——I -don’t know why. Never twist up straws among <em>your</em> hair, for fear -people should think you’re mad!</p> - -<p>There was a nice green arm-chair at the end of the table, that -looked as if it was just meant for Alice: so she went and sat down in -it.</p> - -<p>Then she had quite a long talk with the March Hare and the Hatter. -The Dormouse didn’t say much. You see it was fast asleep -generally, and it only just woke up for a moment, now and then.</p> - -<p>As long as it was asleep, it was very useful to the March Hare -and the Hatter, because it had a nice round soft head, just like a -pillow: so they could put their elbows on it, and lean across it, and -talk to each other quite comfortably. You wouldn’t like people -to use <em>your</em> head for a pillow, <em>would</em> you?

So I suppose<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_40" -id="Page_40">[40]</a></span> his plate and the milk-jug are hidden -behind that large tea-pot.</p> - -<p>The Hatter used to carry about hats to sell: and even the one that -he’s got on his head is meant to be sold.

She can see the dish of -tarts on the table, that she had taken such trouble to make.

A -“witness” is a person who has seen the prisoner do whatever -he’s accused of, or at any rate knows <em>something</em> that’s -important in the trial.</p> - -<p>But <em>Alice</em> hadn’t seen the Queen <em>make</em> the tarts: and -she hadn’t seen the Knave <em>take</em> the tarts: and, in fact, she -didn’t know anything about it: so why in the world they wanted -<em>her</em> to be a witness, I’m sure <em>I</em> ca’n’t tell -you!</p> - -<p>Anyhow, they <em>did</em> want her. And the White Rabbit blew his big -trumpet, and shouted out “Alice!” And so Alice jumped up in -a great hurry. And then——</p> - -<p>And then what <em>do</em> you think happened?

The King wanted the Jury to settle whether the -Knave of Hearts was <em>guilty</em> or <em>not guilty</em>——that means -that they were to settle whether <em>he</em> had stolen the Tarts, or if -somebody else had taken them.
