I39。d far better help you, hadn39。t I?39。 Butthe King took no notice of the question: it was quite clear that hecould neither hear her nor see her. So Alice picked him up very gently, and lifted him across moreslowly than she had lifted the Queen, that she mightn39。t take hisbreath away: but, before she put him on the table, she thought shemight as well dust him a little, he was so covered with ashes. She said afterwards that she had never seen in all her life such aface as the King made, when he found himself held in the air by aninvisible hand, and being dusted: he was far too much astonished tocry out, but his eyes and his mouth went on getting larger andlarger, and rounder and rounder, till her hand shook so with laughingthat she nearly let him drop upon the floor. `Oh! PLEASE don39。t make such faces, my dear!39。 she cried out, quiteforgetting that the King couldn39。t hear her. `You make me laugh sothat I can hardly hold you! And don39。t keep your mouth so wide open!All the ashes will get into it there, now I think you39。re tidyenough!39。 she added, as she smoothed his hair, and set him upon thetable near the Queen. The King immediately fell flat on his back, and lay perfectlystill: and Alice was a little alarmed at what she had done, and wentround the room to see if she could find any water to throw over him.However, she could find nothing but a bottle of ink, and when she gotback with it she found he had recovered, and he and the Queen weretalking together in a frightened whisper so low, that Alice couldhardly hear what they said. The King was saying, `I assure, you my dear, I turned cold to thevery ends of my whiskers!39。 To which the Queen replied, `You haven39。t got any whiskers.39。 `The horror of that moment,39。 the King went on, `I shall never,NEVER forget!39。 `You will, though,39。 the Queen said, `if you don39。t make a memorandumof it.39。 Alice looked on with great interest as the King took an enormousmemorandumbook out of his pocket, and began writing. A suddenthought struck her, and she took hold of the end of the pencil, whichcame some 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 toostrong for him, and at last he panted out, `My dear! I really MUSTget a thinner pencil. I can39。t manage this one a bit。 it writes allmanner of things that I don39。t intend 39。 `What manner of things?39。 said the Queen, looking over the book (inwhich Alice had put `THE WHITE KNIGHT IS SLIDING DOWN THE POKER. HEBALANCES VERY BADLY39。) `That39。s not a memorandum of YOUR feelings!39。 There was a book lying near Alice on the table, and while she satwatching the White King (for she was still a little anxious abouthim, and had the ink all ready to throw over him, in case he faintedagain), she turned over the leaves, to find some part that she couldread, ` for it39。s all in some language I don39。t know,39。 she said toherself. It was like this.

And if I holdit up to 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 Did gyre and gimble in the wabe。 All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. `Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jujub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!39。 He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought So rested he by the Tumtum gree, And stood awhile in thought. And as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wook, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snickersnack! He left it dead, and with 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 Did gyre and gimble in the wabe。 All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. `It seems very pretty,39。 she said when she had finished it, `butit39。s RATHER hard to understand!39。 (You see she didn39。t like toconfess, ever to herself, that she couldn39。t make it out at all.)`Somehow it seems to fill my head with ideas only I don39。t exactlyknow what they are! However, SOMEBODY killed SOMETHING: that39。sclear, at any rate 39。 `But oh!39。 thought Alice, suddenly jumping up, `if I don39。t make hasteI shall have to go back through the Lookingglass, before I39。ve seenwhat the rest of the house is like! Let39。s have a look at the gardenfirst!39。 She was out of the room in a moment, and ran down stairs or, at least, it wasn39。t exactly running, but a new invention of hersfor getting down stairs quickly and easily, as Alice said to herself.She just kept the tips of her fingers on the handrail, and floatedgently down without even touching the stairs with her feet。 then shefloated
