[edit]Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There
[edit]-
The kitten had been having a grand game of romps with the ball of worsted Alice had been trying to wind up...
-
«What have you got to say for yourself?» Now don't interrupt me!
-
The glass was beginning to melt away, just like a bright silvery mist.
-
In another moment Alice was through the glass and had jumped lightly down into the Looking-glass room
-
The chessmen were walking about, two and two!
-
He was far too much astonished to cry out, but his eyes and his mouth want on getting larger ana larger.
-
The White Knight is sliding down the poker. He balances very badly.
-
«The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood...» -
«O Tiger-lily...I wish you could talk!»
-
«Look up, speak nicely, and don't twiddle your fingers all the time.»
-
Alice stood without speaking, looking out in all directions over the country — and a most curious country it was.
-
«Now! Now!» cried the Queen.
«Faster! Faster!» -
The Guard was looking at her, first through a telescope then through a microscope, and then through an opera-glass.
-
«Half way up that bush, you'll see a Rocking-horse-fly, if you look.»
-
«Its body is made of plum-pudding, its wings of holly-leaves, and its head is a raising burning in brandy»
-
«Its wings are thin slices of bread-and-butter, its body is a crust, and its head is a lump of sugar»
-
So they walked on together through the wood...
-
They were standing under a tree, each with an arm round the other's neck.
-
«The Walrus and the Carpenter were walking close at hand...»
-
«But wait a bit, the Oysters cried,
Before we have our chat...» -
I weep for you, the Walrus said:«I deeply sympathize»
-
He had a tall red night-cap on, with a tassel, and he was lying crumpled up into a sort of untidy heap, and snoring loud...
-
«I knew it was! cried Tweedledum, beginning to stamp about wildly and tear his hair.»
-
«Do I look very pale?» said Tweedledum, coming up to have his helmet tied on.
-
«It can't go straight, you know, if you pin it all on one side», Alice said, as she gently put it right for her...
-
«He's in prison now, being punished: and the trial doesn't even begin till next Wednesday.»
-
She was in a little dark shop, leaning with her elbows on the counter, and opposite to her was an old Sheep...
-
They hadn't gone much farther before the blade of one of the oars got fast in the water...
-
And he grinned almost from ear to ear, as he leant forwards...
and offered Alice his hand. -
«Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe.» -
«I said it very loud and clear;
I went and shouted in his ear.» -
The ground was soon covered with little heaps of men.
-
«I feel faint — Give me a ham sandwich!»
-
«Ten minutes allowed for refreshments!»
-
«Are you animal —
or vegetable — or mineral?» -
She dropped to her knees, and put her hands over her ears, vainly trying to shut out the dreadful uproar.
-
They began banging away at each other with such a fury that Alice got behind a tree...
-
She thought she had never seen such a strange-looking soldier in all her life.
-
Whenever the horse stopped (which it did very often), he fell off in front...
-
«How can you go on talking so quietly, head downwards?» Alice asked, as she dragged him out by the feet...
-
«I shook him well from side to side,
until his face was blue...» -
«But how can it have got there without my knowing it?»
-
She didn't feel a bit surprised at finding the Red Queen and the White Queen sitting close to her...
-
In another moment both Queens were fast asleep, and snoring loud...
-
«Where's the servant whose business it is to answer the door?»
she began angrily. -
The leg of mutton got up in the dish and made a little bow to Alice...
-
On good pull, and plates, dishes, guests, and candles came crashing down together in a heap on the floor.
-
She took her off the table as she spoke, and shook her backwards and forwards with all her might.
-
And it really was a kitten, after all.
-
«Snowdrop, my pet!» she went on, looking over her shoulder at the White Kitten.
