she quite fot how to speak good English,) now I39。 m opening out like the largest telescope that ever was! Goodbye, feet! (for when she looked down at her feet, they seemed almost out of sight, they were getting so far off,) oh, my poor little feet, I wonder who will put on your shoes and stockings for you now, dears? I39。 m sure I can39。 t! I shall be a great deal too far off to bother myself about you: you must manage the best way you can— but I must be kind to them, thought Alice, or perhaps they won39。 t walk the way I want to go! Let me see: I39。 ll give them a new pair of boots every Christmas. And she went on planning to herself how she would manage it[12] they must go by the carrier, she thought, and how funny it39。 ll seem, sending presents to one39。 s own feet! And how odd the directions will look! ALICE39。 S RIGHT FOOT, ESQ. THE CARPET, with ALICE39。 S LOVE oh dear! what nonsense I am talking! Just at this moment, her head struck against the roof of the hall: in fact, she was now rather more than nine feet high, and she at once took up the little golden key, and hurried off to the garden door. Poor Alice! it was as much as she could do, lying down on one side, to look through into the garden with one eye, but to get through was more hopeless than ever: she sat down and cried again. You ought to be ashamed of yourself, said Alice, a great girl like you, (she might well say this,) to cry in this way! Stop this instant, I tell you! But she cried on all the same, shedding gallons of tears, until there was a large pool, about four inches deep, all round her, and reaching half way across the hall. After a time, she heard a little pattering of feet in the distance, and[13] dried her eyes to see what was ing. It was the white rabbit ing back again, splendidly dressed, with a pair of white kid gloves in one hand, and a nosegay in the other. Alice was ready to ask help of any one, she felt so desperate, and as the rabbit passed her, she said, in a low, timid voice, If you please, Sir— the rabbit started violently, looked up once into the roof of the hall, from which the voice seemed to e, and then dropped the nosegay and the white kid gloves, and skurried away into the darkness, as hard as it could go. Alice took up the nosegay and gloves, and found the nosegay so delicious that she kept smelling at it all the time she went on talking to herself— dear, dear! how queer everything is today! and yesterday everything happened just as usual: I wonder if I was changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning? I think I remember[14] feeling rather different. But if I39。 m not the same, who in the world am I? Ah, that39。 s the great puzzle! And she began thinking over all the children she knew of the same age as herself, to see if she could have been changed for any of them. I39。 m sure I39。 m not Gertrude, she said, for her hair goes in such long ringlets, and mine doesn39。 t go in ringlets at all— and I39。 m sure I ca39。 n39。 t be Florence, for I know all sorts of things, and she, oh! she knows such a very little! Besides, she39。 s she, and I39。 m I, and— oh dear! how puzzling it all is! I39。 ll try if I know all the things I used to know. Let me see: four times five is twelve, and four times six is thirteen, and four times seven is fourteen— oh dear! I shall never get to twenty at this rate! But the Multiplication Table don39。 t signify— let39。 s try Geography. London is the capital of France, and Rome is the capital of Yorkshire, and Paris— oh dear! dear! that39。 s all wrong, I39。 m certain! I must have been changed for Florence! I39。 ll try and say How doth the little, and she crossed her hands on her[15] lap, and began, but her voice sounded hoarse and strange, and the words did not sound the same as they used to do: How doth the little crocodile Improve its shining tail, And pour the waters of the Nile On every golden scale! How cheerfully it seems to grin! How neatly spreads its claws! And weles little fishes in With gentlysmiling jaws! I39。 m sure those are not the right words, said poor Alice, and her eyes filled with tears as she thought I must be Florence after all, and I shall have to go and live in that poky little house, and have next to no toys to play with, and oh! ever so many lessons to learn! No! I39。 ve made up my mind about it: if I39。 m Florence, I39。 ll stay down here! It39。 ll be no use their putting their heads down and saying 39。 e [16]up, dear!39。 I shall only look up and say 39。 who am I then? answer me that first, and then, if I like being that person, I39。 ll e up: if not, I39。 ll stay down here till I39。 m somebody else— but, oh dear! cried Alice with a sudden burst of tears, I do wish they would put their heads down! I am so tired of being all alone here! As she said this, she looked down at her hands, and was surprised to find she had put on one of the rabbit39。 s little gloves while she was talking. How can I have done that? thought she, I must be growing small again. She got up and went to the table to measure herself by it, and found that, as nearly as she could guess, she was now about two feet high, and was going on shrinking rapidly: soon she found out that the reason of it was the nosegay she held in her hand: she dropped it hastily, just in time to save herself from shrinking away altogether, and found that she was now only three inches high. Now for the garden! cried Alice,[17] as she hurried back to the little door, but the little door was locked again, and the little gold key was lying on the glass table as before, and things are worse than ever! thought the poor little girl, for I never was as small as this before, never! And I declare it39。 s too bad, it is! At this moment her foot slipped, and splash! she was up to her chin in。
