The mouse did not answer, so Alice went on eagerly: there is such a nice little dog near our house I should like to show you! A little brighteyed terrier, you know, with oh! such long curly brown hair! And it39。t be angry about it. And yet I wish I could show you our cat Dinah: I think you39。s a French mouse, e over with William the Conqueror! (for,[20]with all her knowledge of history, Alice had no very clear notion how long ago anything had happened,) so she began again: o249。t cried so much! said Alice, as she swam about, trying to find her way out, I shall be punished for it now, I suppose, by being drowned in my own tears! Well! that39。ll stay down here till I39。e [16]up, dear!39。ve made up my mind about it: if I39。s all wrong, I39。m I, and— oh dear! how puzzling it all is! I39。m sure I ca39。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。s own feet! And how odd the directions will look! ALICE39。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。ll get into the garden, and I don39。s no use in crying! said Alice to herself rather sharply, I advise you to leave off this minute! (she generally gave herself very good advice, and sometimes scolded herself so severely as to bring tears into her eyes, and once she remembered boxing her own ears for having been unkind to herself[10] in a game of croquet she was playing with herself, for this curious child was very fond of pretending to be two people,) but it39。 there was nothing lying upon it, but a tiny golden key, and Alice39。t answer either question, it didn39。ll never do to ask: perhaps I shall see it written up somewhere. Down, down, down: there was nothing else to do, so Alice soon began talking again. Dinah will miss me very much tonight, I should think! (Dinah was the cat.) I hope they39。ll be to e out among the people that walk with their heads downwards! But I shall have to ask them what the name of the country is, you know. Please, Ma39。ll all think me at home!

In a moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again. The rabbithole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly, that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself, before she found herself falling down what seemed a deep well. Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her, and to wonder what would happen next. First, she tried to look down and make out what she was ing to, but it was too dark to see anything: then, she looked at the sides of the well, and noticed that they were filled with cupboards and bookshelves: here and there were maps and pictures hung on pegs. She took a jar down off one of the shelves as she passed: it was labelled[3] Orange Marmalade, but to her great disappointment it was empty: she did not like to drop the jar, for fear of killing somebody underneath, so managed to put it into one of the cupboards as she fell past it. Well! thought Alice to herself, after such a fall as this, I shall think nothing of tumbling down stairs! How brave they39。s the right distance, but then what Longitude or Latitudeline shall I be in? (Alice had no idea[4] what Longitude was, or Latitude either, but she thought they were nice grand words to say.) Presently she began again: I wonder if I shall fall right through the earth! How funny it39。ll think me for asking! No, it39。s very like a mouse, you know, my dear. But do cats eat bats, I wonder? And here Alice began to get rather sleepy, and kept on saying to herself, in a dreamy sort of way do cats eat bats? do cats eat bats? and sometimes,[5] do bats eat cats? for, as she couldn39。s getting! She turned the corner after it, and instantly found herself in a long, low hall, lit up by a row of lamps which hung from the roof. There were doors all round the hall, but they were all locked, and when Alice had been all round it, and tried them all, she walked sadly down the middle, wondering[6] how she was ever to get out again: suddenly she came upon a little threelegged table, all made of solid glass。s marked poison or not, for Alice had read several nice little stories about children that got burnt, and eaten up by wild beasts, and other unpleasant things,
