+<h1>CHAPTER I</h1>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<h2>Down the Rabbit-Hole</h2>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>
|
|
|
+ Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister
|
|
|
+ on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had
|
|
|
+ peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures
|
|
|
+ or conversations in it, `and what is the use of a book,' thought
|
|
|
+ Alice `without pictures or conversation?'
|
|
|
+</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could,
|
|
|
+ for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the
|
|
|
+ pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of
|
|
|
+ getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit
|
|
|
+ with pink eyes ran close by her. </p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p class="figure">

|
|
|
+ <b>White Rabbit checking watch</b>
|
|
|
+</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>There was nothing so
|
|
|
+ <i>very</i> remarkable in that; nor did
|
|
|
+ Alice think it so
|
|
|
+ <i>very</i> much out of the way to hear the
|
|
|
+ Rabbit say to itself, `Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!' (when
|
|
|
+ she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought
|
|
|
+ to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite
|
|
|
+ natural); but when the Rabbit actually
|
|
|
+ <i>took a watch out of its
|
|
|
+ waistcoat</i>-
|
|
|
+ <i>pocket</i>, and looked at it, and then hurried on,
|
|
|
+ Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she
|
|
|
+ had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a
|
|
|
+ watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across
|
|
|
+ the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop
|
|
|
+ down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.
|
|
|
+</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>In another moment down went Alice after it, never once
|
|
|
+ considering how in the world she was to get out again. </p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>The rabbit-hole 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 a very deep well. </p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>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 was going to happen next. First, she tried to look down and
|
|
|
+ make out what she was coming 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 book-shelves; here and
|
|
|
+ there she saw maps and pictures hung upon pegs. She took down a jar
|
|
|
+ from one of the shelves as she passed; it was labelled `ORANGE
|
|
|
+ MARMALADE', but to her great disappointment it was empty: she did
|
|
|
+ not like to drop the jar for fear of killing somebody, so managed
|
|
|
+ to put it into one of the cupboards as she fell past it. </p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>`Well!' thought Alice to herself, `after such a fall as this, I
|
|
|
+ shall think nothing of tumbling down stairs! How brave they'll all
|
|
|
+ think me at home! Why, I wouldn't say anything about it, even if I
|
|
|
+ fell off the top of the house!' (Which was very likely true.) </p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Down, down, down. Would the fall
|
|
|
+ <i>never</i> come to an end!
|
|
|
+ `I wonder how many miles I've fallen by this time?' she said aloud.
|
|
|
+ `I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the earth. Let me
|
|
|
+ see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think--' (for, you
|
|
|
+ see, Alice had learnt several things of this sort in her lessons in
|
|
|
+ the schoolroom, and though this was not a
|
|
|
+ <i>very</i> good
|
|
|
+ opportunity for showing off her knowledge, as there was no one to
|
|
|
+ listen to her, still it was good practice to say it over) `--yes,
|
|
|
+ that's about the right distance--but then I wonder what Latitude or
|
|
|
+ Longitude I've got to?' (Alice had no idea what Latitude was, or
|
|
|
+ Longitude either, but thought they were nice grand words to say.)
|
|
|
+</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Presently she began again. `I wonder if I shall fall right
|
|
|
+ <i>through</i> the earth! How funny it'll seem to come out among
|
|
|
+ the people that walk with their heads downward! The Antipathies, I
|
|
|
+ think--' (she was rather glad there
|
|
|
+ <i>was</i> no one listening,
|
|
|
+ this time, as it didn't sound at all the right word) `--but I shall
|
|
|
+ have to ask them what the name of the country is, you know. Please,
|
|
|
+ Ma'am, is this New Zealand or Australia?' (and she tried to curtsey
|
|
|
+ as she spoke--fancy
|
|
|
+ <i>curtseying</i> as you're falling through the
|
|
|
+ air! Do you think you could manage it?) `And what an ignorant
|
|
|
+ little girl she'll think me for asking! No, it'll never do to ask:
|
|
|
+ perhaps I shall see it written up somewhere.'
|
|
|
+</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Down, down, down. There was nothing else to do, so Alice soon
|
|
|
+ began talking again. `Dinah'll miss me very much to-night, I should
|
|
|
+ think!' (Dinah was the cat.) `I hope they'll remember her saucer of
|
|
|
+ milk at tea-time. Dinah my dear! I wish you were down here with me!
|
|
|
+ There are no mice in the air, I'm afraid, but you might catch a
|
|
|
+ bat, and that's very like a mouse, you know. But do cats eat bats,
|
|
|
+ I wonder?' And here Alice began to get rather sleepy, and went on
|
|
|
+ saying to herself, in a dreamy sort of way, `Do cats eat bats? Do
|
|
|
+ cats eat bats?' and sometimes, `Do bats eat cats?' for, you see, as
|
|
|
+ she couldn't answer either question, it didn't much matter which
|
|
|
+ way she put it. She felt that she was dozing off, and had just
|
|
|
+ begun to dream that she was walking hand in hand with Dinah, and
|
|
|
+ saying to her very earnestly, `Now, Dinah, tell me the truth: did
|
|
|
+ you ever eat a bat?' when suddenly, thump! thump! down she came
|
|
|
+ upon a heap of sticks and dry leaves, and the fall was over. </p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Alice was not a bit hurt, and she jumped up on to her feet in a
|
|
|
+ moment: she looked up, but it was all dark overhead; before her was
|
|
|
+ another long passage, and the White Rabbit was still in sight,
|
|
|
+ hurrying down it. There was not a moment to be lost: away went
|
|
|
+ Alice like the wind, and was just in time to hear it say, as it
|
|
|
+ turned a corner, `Oh my ears and whiskers, how late it's getting!'
|
|
|
+ She was close behind it when she turned the corner, but the Rabbit
|
|
|
+ was no longer to be seen: she found herself in a long, low hall,
|
|
|
+ which was lit up by a row of lamps hanging from the roof. </p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>There were doors all round the hall, but they were all locked;
|
|
|
+ and when Alice had been all the way down one side and up the other,
|
|
|
+ trying every door, she walked sadly down the middle, wondering how
|
|
|
+ she was ever to get out again. </p>
|

|
|
|
+ <b>Alice finding tiny door behind curtain</b>
|
|
|
+</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Suddenly she came upon a little three-legged table, all made of
|
|
|
+ solid glass; there was nothing on it except a tiny golden key, and
|
|
|
+ Alice's first thought was that it might belong to one of the doors
|
|
|
+ of the hall; but, alas! either the locks were too large, or the key
|
|
|
+ was too small, but at any rate it would not open any of them.
|
|
|
+ However, on the second time round, she came upon a low curtain she
|
|
|
+ had not noticed before, and behind it was a little door about
|
|
|
+ fifteen inches high: she tried the little golden key in the lock,
|
|
|
+ and to her great delight it fitted! </p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Alice opened the door and found that it led into a small
|
|
|
+ passage, not much larger than a rat-hole: she knelt down and looked
|
|
|
+ along the passage into the loveliest garden you ever saw. How she
|
|
|
+ longed to get out of that dark hall, and wander about among those
|
|
|
+ beds of bright flowers and those cool fountains, but she could not
|
|
|
+ even get her head though the doorway; `and even if my head would go
|
|
|
+ through,' thought poor Alice, `it would be of very little use
|
|
|
+ without my shoulders. Oh, how I wish I could shut up like a
|
|
|
+ telescope! I think I could, if I only know how to begin.' For, you
|
|
|
+ see, so many out-of-the-way things had happened lately, that Alice
|
|
|
+ had begun to think that very few things indeed were really
|
|
|
+ impossible. </p>

|
|
|
+ <b>Alice taking "Drink Me" bottle</b>
|
|
|
+</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>There seemed to be no use in waiting by the little door, so she
|
|
|
+ went back to the table, half hoping she might find another key on
|
|
|
+ it, or at any rate a book of rules for shutting people up like
|
|
|
+ telescopes: this time she found a little bottle on it, (`which
|
|
|
+ certainly was not here before,' said Alice,) and round the neck of
|
|
|
+ the bottle was a paper label, with the words `DRINK ME' beautifully
|
|
|
+ printed on it in large letters. </p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>It was all very well to say `Drink me,' but the wise little
|
|
|
+ Alice was not going to do
|
|
|
+ <i>that</i> in a hurry. `No, I'll look
|
|
|
+ first,' she said, `and see whether it's marked "poison" or not';
|
|
|
+ for she had read several nice little histories about children who
|
|
|
+ had got burnt, and eaten up by wild beasts and other unpleasant
|
|
|
+ things, all because they
|
|
|
+ <i>would</i> not remember the simple rules
|
|
|
+ their friends had taught them: such as, that a red-hot poker will
|
|
|
+ burn you if you hold it too long; and that if you cut your finger
|
|
|
+ <i>very</i> deeply with a knife, it usually bleeds; and she had
|
|
|
+ never forgotten that, if you drink much from a bottle marked
|
|
|
+ `poison,' it is almost certain to disagree with you, sooner or
|
|
|
+ later.
|
|
|
+</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>However, this bottle was
|
|
|
+ <i>not</i> marked `poison,' so Alice
|
|
|
+ ventured to taste it, and finding it very nice, (it had, in fact, a
|
|
|
+ sort of mixed flavour of cherry-tart, custard, pine-apple, roast
|
|
|
+ turkey, toffee, and hot buttered toast,) she very soon finished it
|
|
|
+ off.
|
|
|
+</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>`What a curious feeling!' said Alice; `I must be shutting up
|
|
|
+ like a telescope.'</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p> And so it was indeed: she was now only ten inches high, and her
|
|
|
+ face brightened up at the thought that she was now the right size
|
|
|
+ for going through the little door into that lovely garden. First,
|
|
|
+ however, she waited for a few minutes to see if she was going to
|
|
|
+ shrink any further: she felt a little nervous about this; `for it
|
|
|
+ might end, you know,' said Alice to herself, `in my going out
|
|
|
+ altogether, like a candle. I wonder what I should be like then?'
|
|
|
+ And she tried to fancy what the flame of a candle is like after the
|
|
|
+ candle is blown out, for she could not remember ever having seen
|
|
|
+ such a thing. </p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p> After a while, finding that nothing more happened, she decided
|
|
|
+ on going into the garden at once; but, alas for poor Alice! when
|
|
|
+ she got to the door, she found she had forgotten the little golden
|
|
|
+ key, and when she went back to the table for it, she found she
|
|
|
+ could not possibly reach it: she could see it quite plainly through
|
|
|
+ the glass, and she tried her best to climb up one of the legs of
|
|
|
+ the table, but it was too slippery; and when she had tired herself
|
|
|
+ out with trying, the poor little thing sat down and cried. </p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p> `Come, there's no use in crying like that!' said Alice to
|
|
|
+ herself, rather sharply; `I advise you to leave off this minute!'
|
|
|
+ She generally gave herself very good advice, (though she very
|
|
|
+ seldom followed it), and sometimes she scolded herself so severely
|
|
|
+ as to bring tears into her eyes; and once she remembered trying to
|
|
|
+ box her own ears for having cheated herself in a game of croquet
|
|
|
+ she was playing against herself, for this curious child was very
|
|
|
+ fond of pretending to be two people. `But it's no use now,' thought
|
|
|
+ poor Alice, `to pretend to be two people! Why, there's hardly
|
|
|
+ enough of me left to make
|
|
|
+ <i>one</i> respectable person!'
|
|
|
+</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p> Soon her eye fell on a little glass box that was lying under
|
|
|
+ the table: she opened it, and found in it a very small cake, on
|
|
|
+ which the words `EAT ME' were beautifully marked in currants.
|
|
|
+ `Well, I'll eat it,' said Alice, `and if it makes me grow larger, I
|
|
|
+ can reach the key; and if it makes me grow smaller, I can creep
|
|
|
+ under the door; so either way I'll get into the garden, and I don't
|
|
|
+ care which happens!' </p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p> She ate a little bit, and said anxiously to herself, `Which
|
|
|
+ way? Which way?', holding her hand on the top of her head to feel
|
|
|
+ which way it was growing, and she was quite surprised to find that
|
|
|
+ she remained the same size: to be sure, this generally happens when
|
|
|
+ one eats cake, but Alice had got so much into the way of expecting
|
|
|
+ nothing but out-of-the-way things to happen, that it seemed quite
|
|
|
+ dull and stupid for life to go on in the common way. </p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p> So she set to work, and very soon finished off the cake. </p>
