+ ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND
2
+
3
+ Lewis Carroll
4
+
5
+ CHAPTER I. 📩 the 🐇-🕳
6
+
7
+ Alice was beginning to get very 😩 of sitting by her sister on the
8
+ 🏦, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the
9
+ 📗 her sister was reading, but it had 🙊 pictures or conversations in
10
+ it, 'and what is the 🇻🇮 of a 📗,' 💭 Alice 'without pictures or
11
+ conversations?'
12
+
13
+ So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the
14
+ ♨ day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure
15
+ of making a daisy-⛓ would be worth the trouble of getting 🆙 and
16
+ ⛏ the daisies, when suddenly a White 🐇 with pink 👀 ran
17
+ close by her.
18
+
19
+ There was nothing so VERY remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so
20
+ VERY much out of the way to 🙉 the 🐇 say to itself, 'Oh dear!
21
+ Oh dear! I shall be late!' (when she 💭 it over afterwards, it
22
+ occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time
23
+ it all seemed quite natural); but when the 🐇 actually TOOK A ⌚
24
+ OUT OF ITS WAISTCOAT-POCKET, and looked at it, and then hurried on,
25
+ Alice started to her 🐾, for it 📸 across her mind that she had
26
+ never before seen a 🐇 with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a ⌚
27
+ to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the 🏑
28
+ after it, and fortunately was just in time to 🙈 it pop 📩 a large
29
+ 🐇-🕳 under the hedge.
30
+
31
+ In another moment 📩 went Alice after it, never once considering how
32
+ in the 🌏 she was to get out again.
33
+
34
+ The 🐇-🕳 went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then
35
+ dipped suddenly 📩, so suddenly that Alice had 🚯 a moment to think
36
+ about ⏹ herself before she found herself 🍂 📩 a very deep
37
+ well.
38
+
39
+ Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had
40
+ plenty of time as she went 📩 to look about her and to wonder what was
41
+ going to happen next. 🥇, she tried to look 📩 and make out what
42
+ she was coming to, but it was too 🌑 to 🙈 anything; then she
43
+ looked at the sides of the well, and noticed that they were filled with
44
+ cupboards and 📗-shelves; here and there she saw 🗾 and pictures
45
+ hung upon pegs. She took 📩 a jar from 1️⃣ of the shelves as
46
+ she passed; it was 🏷 '🔶 MARMALADE', but to her great
47
+ disappointment it was empty: she did 🚯 like to 💧 the jar for 😱
48
+ of killing somebody, so managed to put it into 1️⃣ of the cupboards as
49
+ she fell past it.
50
+
51
+ 'Well!' 💭 Alice to herself, 'after such a fall as this, I shall
52
+ think nothing of tumbling 📩 stairs! How brave they'll all think me at
53
+ 🏡! Why, I wouldn't say anything about it, even if I fell 📴 the 🔝
54
+ of the 🏡!' (Which was very likely true.)
55
+
56
+ 📩, 📩, 📩. Would the fall NEVER come to an 🔚! 'I wonder how
57
+ many miles I've fallen by this time?' she said aloud. 'I must be getting
58
+ somewhere near the centre of the 🌐. Let me 🙈: that would be 🕓
59
+ thousand miles 📩, I think--' (for, you 🙈, Alice had learnt several
60
+ things of this sort in her lessons in the schoolroom, and though this
61
+ was 🚯 a VERY good opportunity for showing 📴 her knowledge, as there
62
+ was 🙊 1️⃣ to listen to her, still it was good practice to say it over)
63
+ '--yes, that's about the ⏯ distance--but then I wonder what Latitude
64
+ or Longitude I've got to?' (Alice had 🙊 💡 what Latitude was, or
65
+ Longitude either, but 💭 they were nice grand words to say.)
66
+
67
+ 🎁 she began again. 'I wonder if I shall fall ⏯ THROUGH the
68
+ 🌐! How funny it'll seem to come out among the people that 🚶 with
69
+ their 🗣 downward! The Antipathies, I think--' (she was rather glad
70
+ there WAS 🙊 1️⃣ listening, this time, as it didn't sound at all the
71
+ ⏯ word) '--but I shall have to 🙏 them what the Brow. of the country
72
+ is, you know. Please, Ma'am, is this 🇳🇿 Zealand or 🇦🇺?' (and
73
+ she tried to curtsey as she spoke--fancy CURTSEYING as you're 🍂
74
+ through the air! Do you think you could manage it?) 'And what an
75
+ ignorant little 👧 she'll think me for 🙏! 🙊, it'll never do to
76
+ 🙏: perhaps I shall 🙈 it written 🆙 somewhere.'
77
+
78
+ 📩, 📩, 📩. There was nothing else to do, so Alice 🔜 began
79
+ talking again. 'Dinah'll miss me very much to-🌉, I should think!'
80
+ (Dinah was the 🐈.) 'I hope they'll remember her saucer of 🥛 at
81
+ 🍵-time. Dinah my dear! I wish you were 📩 here with me! There are 🙊
82
+ mice in the air, I'm afraid, but you might catch a 🦇, and that's very
83
+ like a 🐁, you know. But do 😽 eat 🏓, I wonder?' And here Alice
84
+ began to get rather sleepy, and went on saying to herself, in a dreamy
85
+ sort of way, 'Do 😾 eat 🏏? Do 🐈 eat 🏓?' and sometimes, 'Do
86
+ 🦇 eat 😹?' for, you 🙈, as she couldn't answer either ❓,
87
+ it didn't much matter which way she put it. She felt that she was dozing
88
+ 📴, and had just begun to dream that she was 🚶 ✌ in ✌ with
89
+ Dinah, and saying to her very earnestly, 'Now, Dinah, tell me the truth:
90
+ did you ever eat a 🦇?' when suddenly, thump! thump! 📩 she came upon
91
+ a heap of 🍢 and dry leaves, and the fall was over.
92
+
93
+ Alice was 🚯 a bit 🤕, and she jumped 🆙 on to her 🐾 in a moment:
94
+ she looked 🆙, but it was all 🌑 overhead; before her was another
95
+ long passage, and the White 🐇 was still in sight, hurrying 📩 it.
96
+ There was 🚯 a moment to be lost: away went Alice like the 🎐, and
97
+ was just in time to 🙉 it say, as it turned a corner, 'Oh my 👂
98
+ and whiskers, how late it's getting!' She was close behind it when she
99
+ turned the corner, but the 🐇 was 🙊 longer to be seen: she found
100
+ herself in a long, 🔅 hall, which was lit 🆙 by a row of 🛋 hanging
101
+ from the roof.
102
+
103
+ There were 🚪 all round the hall, but they were all 🔓; and when
104
+ Alice had been all the way 📩 1️⃣ side and 🆙 the other, trying every
105
+ 🚪, she 🚶 sadly 📩 the middle, wondering how she was ever to
106
+ get out again.
107
+
108
+ Suddenly she came upon a little 🔊-🍗 table, all made of solid
109
+ 🍷; there was nothing on it except a tiny golden 🔑, and Alice's
110
+ 🥇 💭 was that it might belong to 1️⃣ of the 🚪 of the hall;
111
+ but, alas! either the 🔑 were too large, or the 🔑 was too 🦐,
112
+ but at any rate it would 🚯 📬 any of them. However, on the 🥈
113
+ time round, she came upon a 🔅 curtain she had 🚯 noticed before, and
114
+ behind it was a little 🚪 about fifteen inches 🔊: she tried the
115
+ little golden 🔑 in the 🔒, and to her great delight it fitted!
116
+
117
+ Alice 😅 the 🚪 and found that it led into a 🦐 passage, 🚯
118
+ much larger than a 🐀-🕳: she knelt 📩 and looked along the passage
119
+ into the loveliest 🏡 you ever saw. How she longed to get out of
120
+ that 🌑 hall, and wander about among those 🛏 of 🌞 🌻 and
121
+ those 🆒 🖋, but she could 🚯 even get her 🗣 through the
122
+ doorway; 'and even if my 🗣 would go through,' 💭 poor Alice, 'it
123
+ would be of very little 🇺🇲 without my shoulders. Oh, how I wish I could
124
+ shut 🆙 like a 🔭! I think I could, if I only knew how to begin.'
125
+ For, you 🙈, so many out-of-the-way things had happened lately,
126
+ that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really
127
+ impossible.
128
+
129
+ There seemed to be 🙊 🇻🇮 in waiting by the little 🚪, so she went
130
+ 🔙 to the table, half hoping she might find another 🔑 on it, or at
131
+ any rate a 📗 of rules for shutting people 🆙 like telescopes: this
132
+ time she found a little 🍾 on it, ('which certainly was 🚯 here
133
+ before,' said Alice,) and round the neck of the 🍾 was a 🗞
134
+ 🏷, with the words '🚱 ME' beautifully 👣 on it in large
135
+ 🔡.
136
+
137
+ It was all very well to say '🚱 me,' but the 🦉 little Alice was
138
+ 🚯 going to do THAT in a hurry. '🙊, I'll look 🥇,' she said, 'and
139
+ 🙈 whether it's 🆙 "poison" or 🚯'; for she had read several nice
140
+ little histories about children who had got burnt, and eaten 🆙 by wild
141
+ beasts and other unpleasant things, all because they WOULD 🚯 remember
142
+ the simple rules their friends had taught them: such as, that a 🔽-♨
143
+ poker will burn you if you 👬 it too long; and that if you cut your
144
+ 🤘 VERY deeply with a 🗡, it usually bleeds; and she had never
145
+ forgotten that, if you 🚱 much from a 🍾 ❕ 'poison,' it is
146
+ almost certain to disagree with you, sooner or later.
147
+
148
+ However, this 🍾 was 🚯 ‼ 'poison,' so Alice ventured to taste
149
+ it, and finding it very nice, (it had, in fact, a sort of mixed flavour
150
+ of 🍒-tart, 🍮, 🎍-🍏, roast 🦃, toffee, and ♨
151
+ buttered toast,) she very 🔜 finished it 📴.

+
159
+ 'What a curious feeling!' said Alice; 'I must be shutting 🆙 like a
160
+ 🔭.'
161
+
162
+ And so it was indeed: she was now only 🔟 inches 🔊, and her 😡
163
+ brightened 🆙 at the 💭 that she was now the ⏯ size for going
164
+ through the little 🚪 into that 💕 🏡. 🥇, however, she
165
+ waited for a few minutes to 🙈 if she was going to shrink any further:
166
+ she felt a little nervous about this; 'for it might 🔚, you know,' said
167
+ Alice to herself, 'in my going out altogether, like a 🕯. I wonder
168
+ what I should be like then?' And she tried to fancy what the 🔥 of a
169
+ 🕯 is like after the 🕯 is blown out, for she could 🚯 remember
170
+ ever having seen such a thing.
171
+
172
+ After a while, finding that nothing more happened, she decided on going
173
+ into the 🏡 at once; but, alas for poor Alice! when she got to the
174
+ 🚪, she found she had forgotten the little golden 🔑, and when she
175
+ went 🔙 to the table for it, she found she could 🚯 possibly reach
176
+ it: she could 🙈 it quite plainly through the 🍷, and she tried her
177
+ best to climb 🆙 1️⃣ of the 🍗 of the table, but it was too slippery;
178
+ and when she had 😩 herself out with trying, the poor little thing
179
+ sat 📩 and cried.
180
+
181
+ 'Come, there's 🙊 🇺🇲 in 😢 like that!' said Alice to herself,
182
+ rather sharply; 'I advise you to leave 📴 this minute!' She generally
183
+ gave herself very good advice, (though she very seldom followed it),
184
+ and sometimes she scolded herself so severely as to bring 😂 into
185
+ her 👀; and once she remembered trying to 🗳 her own 👂 for having
186
+ cheated herself in a 🎲 of croquet she was 🎴 against herself,
187
+ for this curious 🚸 was very fond of pretending to be 2️⃣ people.
188
+ 'But it's 🙊 🇻🇮 now,' 💭 poor Alice, 'to pretend to be 2️⃣ people!
189
+ Why, there's hardly enough of me ◀ to make 1️⃣ respectable person!'
190
+
191
+ 🔜 her 👁 fell on a little 🍷 🗳 that was lying under the table:
192
+ she 📬 it, and found in it a very 🦐 🍰, on which the words
193
+ 'EAT ME' were beautifully 📑 in currants. 'Well, I'll eat it,' said
194
+ Alice, 'and if it makes me grow larger, I can reach the 🔑; and if it
195
+ makes me grow smaller, I can creep under the 🚪; so either way I'll
196
+ get into the 🏡, and I don't 💅 which happens!'
197
+
198
+ She ate a little bit, and said anxiously to herself, 'Which way? Which
199
+ way?', 👬 her ✌ on the 🔝 of her 🗣 to feel which way it was
200
+ growing, and she was quite 🙀 to find that she remained the same
201
+ size: to be sure, this generally happens when 1️⃣ eats 🍰, but Alice
202
+ had got so much into the way of expecting nothing but out-of-the-way
203
+ things to happen, that it seemed quite dull and stupid for life to go on
204
+ in the common way.
205
+
206
+ So she 📐 to work, and very 🔜 finished 📴 the 🍰.

217
+ CHAPTER II. The Pool of 😹
218
+
219
+ 'Curiouser and curiouser!' cried Alice (she was so much 🙀, that
220
+ for the moment she quite forgot how to 🗣 good English); 'now I'm
221
+ 😃 out like the largest 🔭 that ever was! Good-bye, 🐾!'
222
+ (for when she looked 📩 at her 🐾, they seemed to be almost out of
223
+ sight, they were getting so far 📴). 'Oh, my poor little 🐾, I wonder
224
+ who will put on your 👢 and stockings for you now, dears? I'm sure
225
+ _I_ shan't be able! I shall be a great deal too far 📴 to trouble
226
+ myself about you: you must manage the best way you can;--but I must be
227
+ kind to them,' 💭 Alice, 'or perhaps they 😤't 🚶 the way I want
228
+ to go! Let me 🙈: I'll give them a 🇳🇿 pair of 👢 every 🎄.'
229
+
230
+ And she went on planning to herself how she would manage it. 'They must
231
+ go by the carrier,' she 💭; 'and how funny it'll seem, sending
232
+ 🎁 to 1️⃣'s own 🐾! And how odd the directions will look!
233
+
234
+ ALICE'S ⏯ FOOT, ESQ.
235
+ HEARTHRUG,
236
+ NEAR THE FENDER,
237
+ (WITH ALICE'S 🏩).
238
+
239
+ Oh dear, what nonsense I'm talking!'
240
+
241
+ Just then her 🗣 struck against the roof of the hall: in fact she was
242
+ now more than 🕤 🐾 🔊, and she at once took 🆙 the little golden
243
+ 🔑 and hurried 📴 to the 🏡 🚪.
244
+
245
+ Poor Alice! It was as much as she could do, lying 📩 on 1️⃣ side, to
246
+ look through into the 🏡 with 1️⃣ 👁; but to get through was more
247
+ hopeless than ever: she sat 📩 and began to 😿 again.
248
+
249
+ 'You ought to be ashamed of yourself,' said Alice, 'a great 👧 like
250
+ you,' (she might well say this), 'to go on 😿 in this way! ⏹ this
251
+ moment, I tell you!' But she went on all the same, shedding gallons of
252
+ 😿, until there was a large pool all round her, about 🕓 inches
253
+ deep and reaching half 📩 the hall.
254
+
255
+ After a time she 🇭🇲 a little pattering of 🐾 in the distance, and
256
+ she hastily dried her 👀 to 🙈 what was coming. It was the White
257
+ 🐇 returning, splendidly 👗, with a pair of white kid 🥊 in
258
+ 1️⃣ ✌ and a large fan in the other: he came trotting along in a great
259
+ hurry, muttering to himself as he came, 'Oh! the Duchess, the Duchess!
260
+ Oh! 😤't she be savage if I've kept her waiting!' Alice felt so
261
+ desperate that she was ready to 🙏 🆘 of any 1️⃣; so, when the 🐇
262
+ came near her, she began, in a 🔅, timid voice, 'If you please, sir--'
263
+ The 🐇 started violently, 💧 the white kid 🥊 and the fan,
264
+ and skurried away into the 🌑 as hard as he could go.
265
+
266
+ Alice took 🆙 the fan and 🥊, and, as the hall was very ♨, she
267
+ kept fanning herself all the time she went on talking: 'Dear, dear! How
268
+ queer everything is to-day! And yesterday things went on just as usual.
269
+ I wonder if I've been changed in the 🌉? Let me think: was I the
270
+ same when I got 🆙 this 🌅? I almost think I can remember feeling a
271
+ little different. But if I'm 🚯 the same, the next ❓ is, Who
272
+ in the 🌏 am I? Ah, THAT'S the great puzzle!' And she began thinking
273
+ over all the children she knew that were of the same age as herself, to
274
+ 🙈 if she could have been changed for any of them.
275
+
276
+ 'I'm sure I'm 🚯 Ada,' she said, 'for her hair goes in such long
277
+ ringlets, and mine doesn't go in ringlets at all; and I'm sure I can't
278
+ be Mabel, for I know all sorts of things, and she, oh! she knows such a
279
+ very little! Besides, SHE'S she, and I'm I, and--oh dear, how puzzling
280
+ it all is! I'll try if I know all the things I 🇺🇲 to know. Let me
281
+ 🙈: 🕓 times 🕠 is 🕧, and 🕓 times 6️⃣ is thirteen, and
282
+ 🕓 times 7️⃣ is--oh dear! I shall never get to twenty at that rate!
283
+ However, the ❌ Table doesn't signify: let's try Geography.
284
+ London is the capital of Paris, and Paris is the capital of Rome, and
285
+ Rome--🙊, THAT'S all wrong, I'm certain! I must have been changed for
286
+ Mabel! I'll try and say "How doth the little--"' and she 🎌 her
287
+ 🤞 on her lap as if she were saying lessons, and began to 🔁 it,
288
+ but her voice sounded hoarse and strange, and the words did 🚯 come the
289
+ same as they 🇻🇮 to do:--
290
+
291
+ 'How doth the little 🐊
292
+ Improve his shining tail,
293
+ And pour the 🚾 of the Nile
294
+ On every golden scale!
295
+
296
+ 'How cheerfully he seems to 😸,
297
+ How neatly spread his claws,
298
+ And welcome little 🦈 in
299
+ With gently 😙 jaws!'
300
+
301
+ 'I'm sure those are 🚯 the ⏯ words,' said poor Alice, and her 👀
302
+ filled with 😂 again as she went on, 'I must be Mabel after all, and
303
+ I shall have to go and live in that poky little 🏡, and have next to
304
+ 🙊 toys to ⏯ with, and oh! ever so many lessons to learn! 🙊, I've
305
+ made 🆙 my mind about it; if I'm Mabel, I'll stay 📩 here! It'll be 🙊
306
+ 🇺🇲 their putting their 🗣 📩 and saying "Come 🆙 again, dear!" I
307
+ shall only look 🆙 and say "Who am I then? Tell me that 🥇, and then,
308
+ if I like being that person, I'll come 🆙: if 🚯, I'll stay 📩 here
309
+ till I'm somebody else"--but, oh dear!' cried Alice, with a sudden burst
310
+ of 😢, 'I do wish they WOULD put their 🗣 📩! I am so VERY 😩
311
+ of being all alone here!'
312
+
313
+ As she said this she looked 📩 at her 👈, and was 🙀 to 🙈
314
+ that she had put on 1️⃣ of the 🐇's little white kid 🥊 while
315
+ she was talking. 'How CAN I have done that?' she 💭. 'I must
316
+ be growing 🦐 again.' She got 🆙 and went to the table to measure
317
+ herself by it, and found that, as nearly as she could guess, she was now
318
+ about 2️⃣ 🐾 🔊, and was going on shrinking rapidly: she 🔜 found
319
+ out that the cause of this was the fan she was 👫, and she ☔
320
+ it hastily, just in time to avoid shrinking away altogether.
321
+
322
+ 'That WAS a narrow escape!' said Alice, a good deal frightened at the
323
+ sudden change, but very glad to find herself still in existence; 'and
324
+ now for the 🏡!' and she ran with all 🚅 🔙 to the little 🚪:
325
+ but, alas! the little 🚪 was shut again, and the little golden 🔑 was
326
+ lying on the 🍷 table as before, 'and things are worse than ever,'
327
+ 💭 the poor 🚸, 'for I never was so 🦐 as this before, never!
328
+ And I declare it's too bad, that it is!'
329
+
330
+ As she said these words her foot slipped, and in another moment, splash!
331
+ she was 🆙 to her chin in salt 🤽. Her 🥇 💡 was that she
332
+ had somehow fallen into the ⛵, 'and in that case I can go 🔙 by
333
+ 🚅,' she said to herself. (Alice had been to the seaside once in
334
+ her life, and had come to the general conclusion, that wherever you go
335
+ to on the English coast you find a number of 🛀 machines in the
336
+ ⛵, some children digging in the ⏳ with wooden ♠, then a row
337
+ of lodging houses, and behind them a 🚅 🚉.) However, she 🔜
338
+ made out that she was in the pool of 😿 which she had wept when she
339
+ was 🕤 🐾 🔊.
340
+
341
+ 'I wish I hadn't cried so much!' said Alice, as she swam about, trying
342
+ to find her way out. 'I shall be punished for it now, I suppose, by
343
+ being drowned in my own 😂! That WILL be a queer thing, to be sure!
344
+ However, everything is queer to-day.'
345
+
346
+ Just then she 🇭🇲 something splashing about in the pool a little way
347
+ 📴, and she swam nearer to make out what it was: at 🥇 she 💭
348
+ it must be a walrus or hippopotamus, but then she remembered how 🦐
349
+ she was now, and she 🔜 made out that it was only a 🐁 that had
350
+ slipped in like herself.
351
+
352
+ 'Would it be of any 🇻🇮, now,' 💭 Alice, 'to 🗣 to this 🐁?
353
+ Everything is so out-of-the-way 📩 here, that I should think very
354
+ likely it can talk: at any rate, there's 🙊 harm in trying.' So she
355
+ began: '🅾 🐁, do you know the way out of this pool? I am very 😩
356
+ of 👙 about here, 🅾 🐁!' (Alice 💭 this must be the ⏯
357
+ way of 🙊 to a 🐁: she had never done such a thing before, but
358
+ she remembered having seen in her brother's 🔡 Grammar, 'A 🐁--of
359
+ a 🐁--to a 🐁--a 🐁--🅾 🐁!') The 🐁 looked at her rather
360
+ inquisitively, and seemed to her to 😜 with 1️⃣ of its little 👀,
361
+ but it said nothing.
362
+
363
+ 'Perhaps it doesn't understand English,' 💭 Alice; 'I daresay it's
364
+ a 🇲🇫 🐁, come over with William the Conqueror.' (For, with all
365
+ her knowledge of history, Alice had 🙊 very clear notion how long ago
366
+ anything had happened.) So she began again: 'Ou est ma chatte?' which
367
+ was the 🥇 sentence in her 🇲🇫 lesson-📗. The 🐁 gave a
368
+ sudden leap out of the 🤽, and seemed to quiver all over with fright.
369
+ 'Oh, I beg your pardon!' cried Alice hastily, afraid that she had 🤕
370
+ the poor animal's feelings. 'I quite forgot you didn't like 🐱.'
371
+
372
+ '🚯 like 😽!' cried the 🐁, in a shrill, passionate voice. 'Would
373
+ YOU like 😺 if you were me?'
374
+
375
+ 'Well, perhaps 🚯,' said Alice in a soothing 🏽: 'don't be 💢
376
+ about it. And yet I wish I could show you our 🐈 Dinah: I think you'd
377
+ take a fancy to 😻 if you could only 🙈 her. She is such a dear 🔇
378
+ thing,' Alice went on, half to herself, as she swam lazily about in the
379
+ pool, 'and she sits purring so nicely by the 🔥, licking her 🐾 and
380
+ washing her 😡--and she is such a nice 🍦 thing to nurse--and she's
381
+ such a capital 1️⃣ for catching mice--oh, I beg your pardon!' cried
382
+ Alice again, for this time the 🐁 was bristling all over, and she
383
+ felt certain it must be really offended. 'We 😤't talk about her any
384
+ more if you'd rather 🚯.'
385
+
386
+ 'We indeed!' cried the 🐁, who was trembling 📩 to the 🔚 of his
387
+ tail. 'As if I would talk on such a subject! Our 👪 always HATED
388
+ 🐱: nasty, 🔅, vulgar things! Don't let me 🙉 the Brow. again!'
389
+
390
+ 'I 😤't indeed!' said Alice, in a great hurry to change the subject of
391
+ conversation. 'Are you--are you fond--of--of 🐕?' The 🐁 did 🚯
392
+ answer, so Alice went on eagerly: 'There is such a nice little 🐕 near
393
+ our 🏡 I should like to show you! A little 🌞-eyed terrier, you
394
+ know, with oh, such long curly brown hair! And it'll fetch things when
395
+ you throw them, and it'll sit 🆙 and beg for its dinner, and all sorts
396
+ of things--I can't remember half of them--and it belongs to a farmer,
397
+ you know, and he says it's so 🇺🇲, it's worth a hundred #️⃣! He
398
+ says it kills all the 🐀 and--oh dear!' cried Alice in a sorrowful
399
+ 🏽, 'I'm afraid I've offended it again!' For the 🐁 was 🏊
400
+ away from her as hard as it could go, and making quite a commotion in
401
+ the pool as it went.
402
+
403
+ So she 🤙 softly after it, '🐁 dear! Do come 🔙 again, and we
404
+ 😤't talk about 😻 or 🐶 either, if you don't like them!' When the
405
+ 🐁 🇭🇲 this, it turned round and swam slowly 🔙 to her: its
406
+ 😡 was quite pale (with passion, Alice 💭), and it said in a 🔅
407
+ trembling voice, 'Let us get to the shore, and then I'll tell you my
408
+ history, and you'll understand why it is I hate 🐱 and 🐶.'
409
+
410
+ It was 🔊 time to go, for the pool was getting quite crowded with the
411
+ 🦉 and animals that had fallen into it: there were a 🦆 and a Dodo,
412
+ a Lory and an Eaglet, and several other curious creatures. Alice led the
413
+ way, and the whole party swam to the shore.
414
+
415
+
416
+
417
+
418
+ CHAPTER III. A Caucus-Race and a Long Tale
419
+
420
+ They were indeed a queer-looking party that assembled on the 🏦--the
421
+ 🕊 with draggled feathers, the animals with their fur clinging close
422
+ to them, and all dripping wet, ⛑, and uncomfortable.
423
+
424
+ The 🥇 ❓ of course was, how to get dry again: they had a
425
+ consultation about this, and after a few minutes it seemed quite natural
426
+ to Alice to find herself talking familiarly with them, as if she had
427
+ known them all her life. Indeed, she had quite a long argument with the
428
+ Lory, who at last turned sulky, and would only say, 'I am older than
429
+ you, and must know better'; and this Alice would 🚯 allow without
430
+ knowing how 🗝 it was, and, as the Lory positively refused to tell its
431
+ age, there was 🙊 more to be said.
432
+
433
+ At last the 🐁, who seemed to be a person of authority among them,
434
+ 🤙 out, 'Sit 📩, all of you, and listen to me! I'LL 🔜 make you
435
+ dry enough!' They all sat 📩 at once, in a large 💍, with the 🐁
436
+ in the middle. Alice kept her 👀 anxiously fixed on it, for she felt
437
+ sure she would catch a bad 🌨 if she did 🚯 get dry very 🔜.
438
+
439
+ 'Ahem!' said the 🐁 with an important air, 'are you all ready? This
440
+ is the driest thing I know. Silence all round, if you please! "William
441
+ the Conqueror, whose cause was favoured by the pope, was 🔜 submitted
442
+ to by the English, who wanted leaders, and had been of late much
443
+ accustomed to usurpation and conquest. Edwin and Morcar, the earls of
444
+ Mercia and Northumbria--"'
445
+
446
+ 'Ugh!' said the Lory, with a shiver.
447
+
448
+ 'I beg your pardon!' said the 🐁, 😦, but very politely: 'Did
449
+ you 🗣?'
450
+
451
+ '🚯 I!' said the Lory hastily.
452
+
453
+ 'I 💭 you did,' said the 🐁. '--I proceed. "Edwin and Morcar,
454
+ the earls of Mercia and Northumbria, declared for him: and even Stigand,
455
+ the patriotic archbishop of Canterbury, found it advisable--"'
456
+
457
+ 'Found WHAT?' said the 🦆.
458
+
459
+ 'Found IT,' the 🐁 replied rather crossly: 'of course you know what
460
+ "it" means.'
461
+
462
+ 'I know what "it" means well enough, when I find a thing,' said the
463
+ 🦆: 'it's generally a 🐸 or a worm. The ❓ is, what did the
464
+ archbishop find?'
465
+
466
+ The 🐁 did 🚯 notice this ❓, but hurriedly went on, '"--found
467
+ it advisable to go with Edgar Atheling to meet William and offer him the
468
+ 👑. William's conduct at 🥇 was moderate. But the insolence of his
469
+ Normans--" How are you getting on now, my dear?' it continued, turning
470
+ to Alice as it spoke.
471
+
472
+ 'As wet as ever,' said Alice in a melancholy 🏽: 'it doesn't seem to
473
+ dry me at all.'
474
+
475
+ 'In that case,' said the Dodo solemnly, 💹 to its 🐾, 'I move
476
+ that the meeting adjourn, for the immediate adoption of more energetic
477
+ remedies--'
478
+
479
+ '🗣 English!' said the Eaglet. 'I don't know the meaning of half
480
+ those long words, and, what's more, I don't believe you do either!' And
481
+ the Eaglet bent 📩 its 🗣 to hide a 😆: some of the other 🦆
482
+ tittered audibly.
483
+
484
+ 'What I was going to say,' said the Dodo in an offended 🏽, 'was, that
485
+ the best thing to get us dry would be a Caucus-race.'
486
+
487
+ 'What IS a Caucus-race?' said Alice; 🚯 that she wanted much to know,
488
+ but the Dodo had paused as if it 💭 that SOMEBODY ought to 🗣,
489
+ and 🙊 1️⃣ else seemed inclined to say anything.
490
+
491
+ 'Why,' said the Dodo, 'the best way to explain it is to do it.' (And, as
492
+ you might like to try the thing yourself, some winter day, I will tell
493
+ you how the Dodo managed it.)
494
+
495
+ 🥇 it ✅ out a race-course, in a sort of ⚪, ('the exact
496
+ shape doesn't matter,' it said,) and then all the party were placed
497
+ along the course, here and there. There was 🙊 '1️⃣, 2️⃣, 🔊, and
498
+ away,' but they began 💨 when they liked, and ◀ 📴 when they
499
+ liked, so that it was 🚯 easy to know when the race was over. However,
500
+ when they had been 💨 half an hour or so, and were quite dry again,
501
+ the Dodo suddenly 📲 out 'The race is over!' and they all crowded
502
+ round it, panting, and 🙏, 'But who has 😤?'
503
+
504
+ This ❓ the Dodo could 🚯 answer without a great deal of 💭,
505
+ and it sat for a long time with 1️⃣ 🤘 pressed upon its forehead
506
+ (the position in which you usually 🙈 Shakespeare, in the pictures
507
+ of him), while the rest waited in silence. At last the Dodo said,
508
+ 'EVERYBODY has 😤, and all must have 🏆.'
509
+
510
+ 'But who is to give the 🏆?' quite a chorus of voices 🙏.
511
+
512
+ 'Why, SHE, of course,' said the Dodo, 👈 to Alice with 1️⃣ 🤘;
513
+ and the whole party at once crowded round her, 🤙 out in a confused
514
+ way, '🏆! 🏆!'
515
+
516
+ Alice had 🙊 💡 what to do, and in despair she put her ✌ in her
517
+ pocket, and pulled out a 🗳 of comfits, (luckily the salt 🤽 had
518
+ 🚯 got into it), and 🖖 them round as 🏆. There was exactly 1️⃣
519
+ a-piece all round.
520
+
521
+ 'But she must have a 🏆 herself, you know,' said the 🐁.
522
+
523
+ 'Of course,' the Dodo replied very gravely. 'What else have you got in
524
+ your pocket?' he went on, turning to Alice.
525
+
526
+ 'Only a thimble,' said Alice sadly.
527
+
528
+ '✌ it over here,' said the Dodo.
529
+
530
+ Then they all crowded round her once more, while the Dodo solemnly
531
+ 🎁 the thimble, saying 'We beg your acceptance of this elegant
532
+ thimble'; and, when it had finished this short 🗨, they all cheered.
533
+
534
+ Alice 💭 the whole thing very absurd, but they all looked so grave
535
+ that she did 🚯 dare to 🤣; and, as she could 🚯 think of anything
536
+ to say, she simply 🙏, and took the thimble, looking as solemn as she
537
+ could.
538
+
539
+ The next thing was to eat the comfits: this caused some noise and
540
+ confusion, as the large 🦉 complained that they could 🚯 taste
541
+ theirs, and the 🦐 🔛 choked and had to be patted on the 🔙.
542
+ However, it was over at last, and they sat 📩 again in a 💍, and
543
+ begged the 🐁 to tell them something more.
544
+
545
+ 'You promised to tell me your history, you know,' said Alice, 'and why
546
+ it is you hate--C and D,' she added in a whisper, half afraid that it
547
+ would be offended again.
548
+
549
+ 'Mine is a long and a 😿 tale!' said the 🐁, turning to Alice, and
550
+ sighing.
551
+
552
+ 'It IS a long tail, certainly,' said Alice, looking 📩 with wonder at
553
+ the 🐁's tail; 'but why do you 📲 it 😿?' And she kept on puzzling
554
+ about it while the 🐁 was 🙊, so that her 💡 of the tale was
555
+ something like this:--
556
+
557
+ 'Fury said to a
558
+ 🐁, That he
559
+ met in the
560
+ 🏡,
561
+ "Let us
562
+ both go to
563
+ law: I will
564
+ prosecute
565
+ YOU.--Come,
566
+ I'll take 🙊
567
+ denial; We
568
+ must have a
569
+ trial: For
570
+ really this
571
+ 🌅 I've
572
+ nothing
573
+ to do."
574
+ Said the
575
+ 🐁 to the
576
+ cur, "Such
577
+ a trial,
578
+ dear Sir,
579
+ With
580
+ 🙊 jury
581
+ or judge,
582
+ would be
583
+ wasting
584
+ our
585
+ breath."
586
+ "I'll be
587
+ judge, I'll
588
+ be jury,"
589
+ Said
590
+ cunning
591
+ 🗝 Fury:
592
+ "I'll
593
+ try the
594
+ whole
595
+ cause,
596
+ and
597
+ condemn
598
+ you
599
+ to
600
+ ⚱."'
601
+
602
+
603
+ 'You are 🚯 attending!' said the 🐁 to Alice severely. 'What are you
604
+ thinking of?'
605
+
606
+ 'I beg your pardon,' said Alice very humbly: 'you had got to the fifth
607
+ bend, I think?'
608
+
609
+ 'I had 🚯!' cried the 🐁, sharply and very angrily.
610
+
611
+ 'A knot!' said Alice, always ready to make herself 🇻🇮, and looking
612
+ anxiously about her. 'Oh, do let me 🆘 to undo it!'
613
+
614
+ 'I shall do nothing of the sort,' said the 🐁, getting 🆙 and 🚶
615
+ away. 'You insult me by talking such nonsense!'
616
+
617
+ 'I didn't mean it!' pleaded poor Alice. 'But you're so easily offended,
618
+ you know!'
619
+
620
+ The 🐁 only growled in reply.
621
+
622
+ 'Please come 🔙 and finish your story!' Alice 🤙 after it; and the
623
+ others all joined in chorus, 'Yes, please do!' but the 🐁 only shook
624
+ its 🗣 impatiently, and 🚶 a little quicker.
625
+
626
+ 'What a pity it wouldn't stay!' sighed the Lory, as 🔜 as it was quite
627
+ out of sight; and an 🗝 🦀 took the opportunity of saying to her
628
+ daughter 'Ah, my dear! Let this be a lesson to you never to lose
629
+ YOUR temper!' '👬 your 👅, Ma!' said the 🌱 🦀, a little
630
+ snappishly. 'You're enough to try the patience of an oyster!'
631
+
632
+ 'I wish I had our Dinah here, I know I do!' said Alice aloud, addressing
633
+ nobody in particular. 'She'd 🔜 fetch it 🔙!'
634
+
635
+ 'And who is Dinah, if I might venture to 🙏 the ❓?' said the
636
+ Lory.
637
+
638
+ Alice replied eagerly, for she was always ready to talk about her 🐹:
639
+ 'Dinah's our 🐈. And she's such a capital 1️⃣ for catching mice you
640
+ can't think! And oh, I wish you could 🙈 her after the 🦅! Why,
641
+ she'll eat a little 🐦 as 🔜 as look at it!'
642
+
643
+ This 🗨 caused a remarkable sensation among the party. Some of the
644
+ 🐦 hurried 📴 at once: 1️⃣ 🗝 Magpie began wrapping itself 🆙 very
645
+ carefully, remarking, 'I really must be getting 🏡; the 🌉-air
646
+ doesn't ♣ my throat!' and a Canary 🤙 out in a trembling voice to
647
+ its children, 'Come away, my dears! It's 🔊 time you were all in 🛏!'
648
+ On various pretexts they all moved 📴, and Alice was 🔜 ◀ alone.
649
+
650
+ 'I wish I hadn't mentioned Dinah!' she said to herself in a melancholy
651
+ 🏽. 'Nobody seems to like her, 📩 here, and I'm sure she's the best
652
+ 🐈 in the 🌏! Oh, my dear Dinah! I wonder if I shall ever 🙈 you
653
+ any more!' And here poor Alice began to 😿 again, for she felt very
654
+ lonely and 🔅-spirited. In a little while, however, she again 🇭🇲
655
+ a little pattering of footsteps in the distance, and she looked 🆙
656
+ eagerly, half hoping that the 🐁 had changed his mind, and was coming
657
+ 🔙 to finish his story.
658
+
659
+
660
+
661
+
662
+ CHAPTER IV. The 🐇 Sends in a Little 💶
663
+
664
+ It was the White 🐇, trotting slowly 🔙 again, and looking
665
+ anxiously about as it went, as if it had lost something; and she 🇭🇲
666
+ it muttering to itself 'The Duchess! The Duchess! Oh my dear 🐾! Oh
667
+ my fur and whiskers! She'll get me executed, as sure as ferrets are
668
+ ferrets! Where CAN I have 💧 them, I wonder?' Alice guessed in a
669
+ moment that it was looking for the fan and the pair of white kid 🥊,
670
+ and she very good-naturedly began hunting about for them, but they were
671
+ nowhere to be seen--everything seemed to have changed since her 🏊 in
672
+ the pool, and the great hall, with the 🍷 table and the little 🚪,
673
+ had vanished completely.
674
+
675
+ Very 🔜 the 🐇 noticed Alice, as she went hunting about, and
676
+ 🤙 out to her in an 💢 🏽, 'Why, Mary Ann, what ARE you doing
677
+ out here? Run 🏡 this moment, and fetch me a pair of 🥊 and a fan!
678
+ Quick, now!' And Alice was so much frightened that she ran 📴 at once
679
+ in the ↖ it 👈 to, without trying to explain the mistake it
680
+ had made.
681
+
682
+ 'He took me for his housemaid,' she said to herself as she ran. 'How
683
+ 🙀 he'll be when he finds out who I am! But I'd better take him
684
+ his fan and 🥊--that is, if I can find them.' As she said this, she
685
+ came upon a neat little 🏡, on the 🚪 of which was a 🌞 brass
686
+ 🍽 with the Brow. 'W. 🐇' engraved upon it. She went in without
687
+ knocking, and hurried upstairs, in great 😱 lest she should meet the
688
+ real Mary Ann, and be turned out of the 🏡 before she had found the
689
+ fan and 🥊.
690
+
691
+ 'How queer it seems,' Alice said to herself, 'to be going messages for
692
+ a 🐇! I suppose Dinah'll be sending me on messages next!' And she
693
+ began fancying the sort of thing that would happen: '"Miss Alice! Come
694
+ here directly, and get ready for your 🚶!" "Coming in a minute,
695
+ nurse! But I've got to 🙈 that the 🐁 doesn't get out." Only I don't
696
+ think,' Alice went on, 'that they'd let Dinah ⏹ in the 🏡 if it
697
+ began ordering people about like that!'
698
+
699
+ By this time she had found her way into a tidy little room with a table
700
+ in the window, and on it (as she had hoped) a fan and 2️⃣ or 🔊 pairs
701
+ of tiny white kid 🥊: she took 🆙 the fan and a pair of the 🥊,
702
+ and was just going to leave the room, when her 👁 fell upon a little
703
+ 🍾 that stood near the looking-🍷. There was 🙊 🏷 this time
704
+ with the words '🚱 ME,' but nevertheless she uncorked it and put it
705
+ to her 💋. 'I know SOMETHING interesting is sure to happen,' she said
706
+ to herself, 'whenever I eat or 🚱 anything; so I'll just 🙈 what
707
+ this 🍾 does. I do hope it'll make me grow large again, for really
708
+ I'm quite 😩 of being such a tiny little thing!'
709
+
710
+ It did so indeed, and much sooner than she had expected: before she had
711
+ drunk half the 🍾, she found her 🗣 pressing against the ceiling,
712
+ and had to stoop to save her neck from being 💔. She hastily put
713
+ 📩 the 🍾, saying to herself 'That's quite enough--I hope I shan't
714
+ grow any more--As it is, I can't get out at the 🚪--I do wish I hadn't
715
+ drunk quite so much!'
716
+
717
+ Alas! it was too late to wish that! She went on growing, and growing,
718
+ and very 🔜 had to kneel 📩 on the 🤣: in another minute there
719
+ was 🚯 even room for this, and she tried the effect of lying 📩 with
720
+ 1️⃣ elbow against the 🚪, and the other arm ➰ round her 🗣.
721
+ Still she went on growing, and, as a last resource, she put 1️⃣ arm out
722
+ of the window, and 1️⃣ foot 🆙 the chimney, and said to herself 'Now I
723
+ can do 🙊 more, whatever happens. What WILL become of me?'
724
+
725
+ Luckily for Alice, the little magic 🍾 had now had its 🌝 effect,
726
+ and she grew 🙊 larger: still it was very uncomfortable, and, as there
727
+ seemed to be 🙊 sort of chance of her ever getting out of the room
728
+ again, 🙊 wonder she felt unhappy.
729
+
730
+ 'It was much pleasanter at 🏡,' 💭 poor Alice, 'when 1️⃣ wasn't
731
+ always growing larger and smaller, and being ordered about by mice and
732
+ 🐰. I almost wish I hadn't gone 📩 that 🐇-🕳--and yet--and
733
+ yet--it's rather curious, you know, this sort of life! I do wonder what
734
+ CAN have happened to me! When I 🇻🇮 to read fairy-tales, I fancied that
735
+ kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of 1️⃣!
736
+ There ought to be a 📗 written about me, that there ought! And when I
737
+ grow 🆙, I'll ✍ 1️⃣--but I'm grown 🆙 now,' she added in a sorrowful
738
+ 🏽; 'at least there's 🙊 room to grow 🆙 any more HERE.'
739
+
740
+ 'But then,' 💭 Alice, 'shall I NEVER get any older than I am
741
+ now? That'll be a comfort, 1️⃣ way--never to be an 🗝 👩--but
742
+ then--always to have lessons to learn! Oh, I shouldn't like THAT!'
743
+
744
+ 'Oh, you foolish Alice!' she answered herself. 'How can you learn
745
+ lessons in here? Why, there's hardly room for YOU, and 🙊 room at all
746
+ for any lesson-📚!'
747
+
748
+ And so she went on, taking 🥇 1️⃣ side and then the other, and making
749
+ quite a conversation of it altogether; but after a few minutes she 🇭🇲
750
+ a voice outside, and 🛑 to listen.
751
+
752
+ 'Mary Ann! Mary Ann!' said the voice. 'Fetch me my 🥊 this moment!'
753
+ Then came a little pattering of 🐾 on the stairs. Alice knew it was
754
+ the 🐇 coming to look for her, and she trembled till she shook the
755
+ 🏡, quite forgetting that she was now about a thousand times as large
756
+ as the 🐇, and had 🙊 reason to be afraid of it.
757
+
758
+ 🎁 the 🐇 came 🆙 to the 🚪, and tried to 📬 it; but, as
759
+ the 🚪 😅 inwards, and Alice's elbow was pressed hard against it,
760
+ that attempt proved a failure. Alice 🇭🇲 it say to itself 'Then I'll
761
+ go round and get in at the window.'
762
+
763
+ 'THAT you 😤't' 💭 Alice, and, after waiting till she fancied
764
+ she 🇭🇲 the 🐇 just under the window, she suddenly spread out her
765
+ ✌, and made a snatch in the air. She did 🚯 get 👬 of anything,
766
+ but she 🇭🇲 a little shriek and a fall, and a crash of 💔 🍷,
767
+ from which she concluded that it was just possible it had fallen into a
768
+ 🥒-🖼, or something of the sort.
769
+
770
+ Next came an 💢 voice--the 🐇's--'Pat! Pat! Where are you?' And
771
+ then a voice she had never 🇭🇲 before, 'Sure then I'm here! Digging
772
+ for apples, yer honour!'
773
+
774
+ 'Digging for apples, indeed!' said the 🐇 angrily. 'Here! Come and
775
+ 🆘 me out of THIS!' (Sounds of more 💔 🍷.)
776
+
777
+ 'Now tell me, Pat, what's that in the window?'
778
+
779
+ 'Sure, it's an arm, yer honour!' (He pronounced it 'arrum.')
780
+
781
+ 'An arm, you goose! Who ever saw 1️⃣ that size? Why, it fills the whole
782
+ window!'
783
+
784
+ 'Sure, it does, yer honour: but it's an arm for all that.'
785
+
786
+ 'Well, it's got 🙊 business there, at any rate: go and take it away!'
787
+
788
+ There was a long silence after this, and Alice could only 🙉 whispers
789
+ now and then; such as, 'Sure, I don't like it, yer honour, at all, at
790
+ all!' 'Do as I tell you, you coward!' and at last she spread out her
791
+ ✌ again, and made another snatch in the air. This time there were
792
+ 2️⃣ little shrieks, and more sounds of 💔 🍷. 'What a number of
793
+ 🥒-🖼 there must be!' 💭 Alice. 'I wonder what they'll do
794
+ next! As for pulling me out of the window, I only wish they COULD! I'm
795
+ sure I don't want to stay in here any longer!'
796
+
797
+ She waited for some time without 🙉 anything more: at last came a
798
+ rumbling of little 🤸, and the sound of a good many voices
799
+ all talking together: she made out the words: 'Where's the other
800
+ ladder?--Why, I hadn't to bring but 1️⃣; 💶's got the other--💶!
801
+ fetch it here, lad!--Here, put 'em 🆙 at this corner--🙊, tie 'em
802
+ together 🥇--they don't reach half 🔊 enough yet--Oh! they'll
803
+ do well enough; don't be particular--Here, 💶! catch 👬 of this
804
+ rope--Will the roof 🐨?--Mind that loose slate--Oh, it's coming
805
+ 📩! 🗣 below!' (a 📢 crash)--'Now, who did that?--It was 💶, I
806
+ fancy--Who's to go 📩 the chimney?--Nay, I shan't! YOU do it!--That I
807
+ 😤't, then!--💶's to go 📩--Here, 💶! the master says you're to
808
+ go 📩 the chimney!'
809
+
810
+ 'Oh! So 💶's got to come 📩 the chimney, has he?' said Alice to
811
+ herself. 'Shy, they seem to put everything upon 💶! I wouldn't be in
812
+ 💶's place for a good deal: this fireplace is narrow, to be sure; but
813
+ I THINK I can 🛴 a little!'
814
+
815
+ She drew her foot as far 📩 the chimney as she could, and waited
816
+ till she 🇭🇲 a little animal (she couldn't guess of what sort it was)
817
+ scratching and scrambling about in the chimney close above her: then,
818
+ saying to herself 'This is 💶,' she gave 1️⃣ sharp 🛴, and waited to
819
+ 🙈 what would happen next.
820
+
821
+ The 🥇 thing she 🇭🇲 was a general chorus of 'There goes 💶!'
822
+ then the 🐇's voice along--'Catch him, you by the hedge!' then
823
+ silence, and then another confusion of voices--'👬 🆙 his 🗣--Brandy
824
+ now--Don't choke him--How was it, 🗝 fellow? What happened to you? Tell
825
+ us all about it!'
826
+
827
+ Last came a little feeble, squeaking voice, ('That's 💶,' 💭
828
+ Alice,) 'Well, I hardly know--🙊 more, thank ye; I'm better now--but I'm
829
+ a deal too flustered to tell you--all I know is, something comes at me
830
+ like a 🎃-in-the-🗳, and 🆙 I goes like a sky-🚀!'
831
+
832
+ 'So you did, 🗝 fellow!' said the others.
833
+
834
+ 'We must burn the 🏡 📩!' said the 🐇's voice; and Alice 🤙
835
+ out as 📢 as she could, 'If you do. I'll 📐 Dinah at you!'
836
+
837
+ There was a dead silence instantly, and Alice 💭 to herself, 'I
838
+ wonder what they WILL do next! If they had any sense, they'd take the
839
+ roof 📴.' After a minute or 2️⃣, they began moving about again, and
840
+ Alice 🇭🇲 the 🐇 say, 'A barrowful will do, to begin with.'
841
+
842
+ 'A barrowful of WHAT?' 💭 Alice; but she had 🚯 long to 🤷,
843
+ for the next moment a 🚿 of little pebbles came rattling in at the
844
+ window, and some of them 🎯 her in the 😡. 'I'll put a ⏹ to this,'
845
+ she said to herself, and shouted out, 'You'd better 🚯 do that again!'
846
+ which produced another dead silence.
847
+
848
+ Alice noticed with some surprise that the pebbles were all turning into
849
+ little 🍥 as they lay on the 🤣, and a 🌞 💡 came into her
850
+ 🗣. 'If I eat 1️⃣ of these 🍰,' she 💭, 'it's sure to make
851
+ SOME change in my size; and as it can't possibly make me larger, it must
852
+ make me smaller, I suppose.'
853
+
854
+ So she swallowed 1️⃣ of the 🍰, and was delighted to find that she
855
+ began shrinking directly. As 🔜 as she was 🦐 enough to get through
856
+ the 🚪, she ran out of the 🏡, and found quite a crowd of little
857
+ animals and 🦆 waiting outside. The poor little 🦎, 💶, was
858
+ in the middle, being held 🆙 by 2️⃣ 🇵🇬-🐷, who were giving it
859
+ something out of a 🍾. They all made a rush at Alice the moment she
860
+ appeared; but she ran 📴 as hard as she could, and 🔜 found herself
861
+ safe in a thick wood.
862
+
863
+ 'The 🥇 thing I've got to do,' said Alice to herself, as she wandered
864
+ about in the wood, 'is to grow to my ⏯ size again; and the 🥈
865
+ thing is to find my way into that 😍 🏡. I think that will be
866
+ the best plan.'
867
+
868
+ It sounded an excellent plan, 🙊 🤷, and very neatly and simply
869
+ arranged; the only difficulty was, that she had 🚯 the smallest 💡
870
+ how to 📐 about it; and while she was peering about anxiously among
871
+ the 🎄, a little sharp bark just over her 🗣 made her look 🆙 in a
872
+ great hurry.
873
+
874
+ An enormous puppy was looking 📩 at her with large round 👀, and
875
+ feebly stretching out 1️⃣ 🐾, trying to touch her. 'Poor little thing!'
876
+ said Alice, in a coaxing 🏽, and she tried hard to whistle to it; but
877
+ she was terribly frightened all the time at the 💭 that it might be
878
+ hungry, in which case it would be very likely to eat her 🆙 in spite of
879
+ all her coaxing.
880
+
881
+ Hardly knowing what she did, she ⛏ 🆙 a little bit of 🏒, and
882
+ held it out to the puppy; whereupon the puppy jumped into the air 📴
883
+ all its 🐾 at once, with a yelp of delight, and rushed at the 🏒,
884
+ and made believe to worry it; then Alice dodged behind a great thistle,
885
+ to keep herself from being run over; and the moment she appeared on the
886
+ other side, the puppy made another rush at the 🏒, and tumbled 🗣
887
+ over 👠 in its hurry to get 👬 of it; then Alice, thinking it was
888
+ very like having a 🎲 of ⏯ with a 🛒-🐎, and expecting every
889
+ moment to be trampled under its 🐾, ran round the thistle again; then
890
+ the puppy began a series of short charges at the 🏒, 💨 a very
891
+ little way ⏩ each time and a long way 🔙, and barking hoarsely
892
+ all the while, till at last it sat 📩 a good way 📴, panting, with
893
+ its 👅 hanging out of its 👄, and its great 👀 half shut.
894
+
895
+ This seemed to Alice a good opportunity for making her escape; so she
896
+ 📐 📴 at once, and ran till she was quite 😩 and out of breath, and
897
+ till the puppy's bark sounded quite faint in the distance.
898
+
899
+ 'And yet what a dear little puppy it was!' said Alice, as she leant
900
+ against a buttercup to rest herself, and fanned herself with 1️⃣ of the
901
+ leaves: 'I should have liked teaching it tricks very much, if--if I'd
902
+ only been the ⏯ size to do it! Oh dear! I'd nearly forgotten that
903
+ I've got to grow 🆙 again! Let me 🙈--how IS it to be managed? I
904
+ suppose I ought to eat or 🚱 something or other; but the great
905
+ ❓ is, what?'
906
+
907
+ The great ❓ certainly was, what? Alice looked all round her at
908
+ the 🥀 and the blades of grass, but she did 🚯 🙈 anything that
909
+ looked like the ⏯ thing to eat or 🚱 under the circumstances.
910
+ There was a large 🍄 growing near her, about the same height as
911
+ herself; and when she had looked under it, and on both sides of it, and
912
+ behind it, it occurred to her that she might as well look and 🙈 what
913
+ was on the 🔝 of it.
914
+
915
+ She stretched herself 🆙 on tiptoe, and peeped over the edge of the
916
+ 🍄, and her 👀 immediately met those of a large caterpillar,
917
+ that was sitting on the 🔝 with its arms folded, quietly 🚭 a long
918
+ hookah, and taking 🚯 the smallest notice of her or of anything else.
919
+
920

+
923
+ CHAPTER V. Advice from a Caterpillar
924
+
925
+ The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence:
926
+ at last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its 👄, and addressed
927
+ her in a languid, sleepy voice.
928
+
929
+ 'Who are YOU?' said the Caterpillar.
930
+
931
+ This was 🚯 an encouraging 😄 for a conversation. Alice replied,
932
+ rather shyly, 'I--I hardly know, sir, just at 🎁--at least I know
933
+ who I WAS when I got 🆙 this 🌅, but I think I must have been
934
+ changed several times since then.'
935
+
936
+ 'What do you mean by that?' said the Caterpillar sternly. 'Explain
937
+ yourself!'
938
+
939
+ 'I can't explain MYSELF, I'm afraid, sir' said Alice, 'because I'm 🚯
940
+ myself, you 🙈.'
941
+
942
+ 'I don't 🙈,' said the Caterpillar.
943
+
944
+ 'I'm afraid I can't put it more clearly,' Alice replied very politely,
945
+ 'for I can't understand it myself to begin with; and being so many
946
+ different sizes in a day is very confusing.'
947
+
948
+ 'It isn't,' said the Caterpillar.
949
+
950
+ 'Well, perhaps you haven't found it so yet,' said Alice; 'but when you
951
+ have to turn into a chrysalis--you will some day, you know--and then
952
+ after that into a 🦋, I should think you'll feel it a little
953
+ queer, 😤't you?'
954
+
955
+ '🚯 a bit,' said the Caterpillar.
956
+
957
+ 'Well, perhaps your feelings may be different,' said Alice; 'all I know
958
+ is, it would feel very queer to ME.'
959
+
960
+ 'You!' said the Caterpillar contemptuously. 'Who are YOU?'
961
+
962
+ Which brought them 🔙 again to the beginning of the conversation.
963
+ Alice felt a little irritated at the Caterpillar's making such VERY
964
+ short remarks, and she drew herself 🆙 and said, very gravely, 'I think,
965
+ you ought to tell me who YOU are, 🥇.'
966
+
967
+ 'Why?' said the Caterpillar.
968
+
969
+ Here was another puzzling ❓; and as Alice could 🚯 think of any
970
+ good reason, and as the Caterpillar seemed to be in a VERY unpleasant
971
+ state of mind, she turned away.
972
+
973
+ 'Come 🔙!' the Caterpillar 📲 after her. 'I've something important
974
+ to say!'
975
+
976
+ This sounded promising, certainly: Alice turned and came 🔙 again.
977
+
978
+ 'Keep your temper,' said the Caterpillar.
979
+
980
+ 'Is that all?' said Alice, swallowing 📩 her anger as well as she
981
+ could.
982
+
983
+ '🙊,' said the Caterpillar.
984
+
985
+ Alice 💭 she might as well wait, as she had nothing else to do, and
986
+ perhaps after all it might tell her something worth 🙉. For some
987
+ minutes it puffed away without 🗣, but at last it unfolded its
988
+ arms, took the hookah out of its 👄 again, and said, 'So you think
989
+ you're changed, do you?'
990
+
991
+ 'I'm afraid I am, sir,' said Alice; 'I can't remember things as I
992
+ 🇻🇮--and I don't keep the same size for 🔟 minutes together!'
993
+
994
+ 'Can't remember WHAT things?' said the Caterpillar.
995
+
996
+ 'Well, I've tried to say "HOW DOTH THE LITTLE BUSY 🐝," but it all came
997
+ different!' Alice replied in a very melancholy voice.
998
+
999
+ '🔁, "YOU ARE 🗝, 👪 WILLIAM,"' said the Caterpillar.
1000
+
1001
+ Alice folded her ✊, and began:--
1002
+
1003
+ 'You are 🗝, 👪 William,' the 🌱 👨 said,
1004
+ 'And your hair has become very white;
1005
+ And yet you incessantly stand on your 🗣--
1006
+ Do you think, at your age, it is ⏯?'
1007
+
1008
+ 'In my youth,' 👪 William replied to his son,
1009
+ 'I 😱 it might injure the brain;
1010
+ But, now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,
1011
+ Why, I do it again and again.'
1012
+
1013
+ 'You are 🗝,' said the youth, 'as I mentioned before,
1014
+ And have grown most uncommonly fat;
1015
+ Yet you turned a 🔙-somersault in at the 🚪--
1016
+ Pray, what is the reason of that?'
1017
+
1018
+ 'In my youth,' said the sage, as he shook his grey 🔑,
1019
+ 'I kept all my limbs very supple
1020
+ By the 🇺🇲 of this ointment--1️⃣ shilling the 🗳--
1021
+ Allow me to sell you a 👨‍❤️‍👨?'
1022
+
1023
+ 'You are 🗝,' said the youth, 'and your jaws are too weak
1024
+ For anything tougher than suet;
1025
+ Yet you finished the goose, with the 🍗 and the beak--
1026
+ Pray how did you manage to do it?'
1027
+
1028
+ 'In my youth,' said his 👪, 'I took to the law,
1029
+ And argued each case with my wife;
1030
+ And the muscular strength, which it gave to my jaw,
1031
+ Has lasted the rest of my life.'
1032
+
1033
+ 'You are 🗝,' said the youth, '1️⃣ would hardly suppose
1034
+ That your 👁 was as steady as ever;
1035
+ Yet you balanced an eel on the 🔚 of your 👃--
1036
+ What made you so awfully clever?'
1037
+
1038
+ 'I have answered 🔊 ⁉, and that is enough,'
1039
+ Said his 👪; 'don't give yourself airs!
1040
+ Do you think I can listen all day to such stuff?
1041
+ Be 📴, or I'll 🛴 you 📩 stairs!'
1042
+
1043
+
1044
+ 'That is 🚯 said ⏯,' said the Caterpillar.
1045
+
1046
+ '🚯 QUITE ⏯, I'm afraid,' said Alice, timidly; 'some of the words
1047
+ have got altered.'
1048
+
1049
+ 'It is wrong from beginning to 🔚,' said the Caterpillar decidedly, and
1050
+ there was silence for some minutes.
1051
+
1052
+ The Caterpillar was the 🥇 to 🗣.
1053
+
1054
+ 'What size do you want to be?' it 🙏.
1055
+
1056
+ 'Oh, I'm 🚯 particular as to size,' Alice hastily replied; 'only 1️⃣
1057
+ doesn't like changing so often, you know.'
1058
+
1059
+ 'I DON'T know,' said the Caterpillar.
1060
+
1061
+ Alice said nothing: she had never been so much contradicted in her life
1062
+ before, and she felt that she was losing her temper.
1063
+
1064
+ 'Are you content now?' said the Caterpillar.
1065
+
1066
+ 'Well, I should like to be a LITTLE larger, sir, if you wouldn't mind,'
1067
+ said Alice: '🔊 inches is such a wretched height to be.'
1068
+
1069
+ 'It is a very good height indeed!' said the Caterpillar angrily, rearing
1070
+ itself upright as it spoke (it was exactly 🔊 inches 🔊).
1071
+
1072
+ 'But I'm 🚯 🇻🇮 to it!' pleaded poor Alice in a piteous 🏽. And
1073
+ she 💭 of herself, 'I wish the creatures wouldn't be so easily
1074
+ offended!'
1075
+
1076
+ 'You'll get 🇺🇲 to it in time,' said the Caterpillar; and it put the
1077
+ hookah into its 👄 and began 🚭 again.
1078
+
1079
+ This time Alice waited patiently until it chose to 🗣 again. In
1080
+ a minute or 2️⃣ the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its 👄
1081
+ and yawned once or twice, and shook itself. Then it got 📩 📴 the
1082
+ 🍄, and crawled away in the grass, merely remarking as it went,
1083
+ '1️⃣ side will make you grow taller, and the other side will make you
1084
+ grow shorter.'
1085
+
1086
+ '1️⃣ side of WHAT? The other side of WHAT?' 💭 Alice to herself.
1087
+
1088
+ 'Of the 🍄,' said the Caterpillar, just as if she had 🙏 it
1089
+ aloud; and in another moment it was out of sight.
1090
+
1091
+ Alice remained looking thoughtfully at the 🍄 for a minute, trying
1092
+ to make out which were the 2️⃣ sides of it; and as it was perfectly
1093
+ round, she found this a very difficult ❓. However, at last she
1094
+ stretched her arms round it as far as they would go, and broke 📴 a bit
1095
+ of the edge with each ✌.
1096
+
1097
+ 'And now which is which?' she said to herself, and nibbled a little of
1098
+ the ⏯-✌ bit to try the effect: the next moment she felt a violent
1099
+ 🌬 underneath her chin: it had struck her foot!
1100
+
1101
+ She was a good deal frightened by this very sudden change, but she felt
1102
+ that there was 🙊 time to be lost, as she was shrinking rapidly; so she
1103
+ 📐 to work at once to eat some of the other bit. Her chin was pressed
1104
+ so closely against her foot, that there was hardly room to 📬 her
1105
+ 👄; but she did it at last, and managed to swallow a morsel of the
1106
+ lefthand bit.
1107

1114
+
1115
+ 'Come, my 🗣's 🆓 at last!' said Alice in a 🏽 of delight, which
1116
+ changed into ⏰ in another moment, when she found that her shoulders
1117
+ were nowhere to be found: all she could 🙈, when she looked 📩, was
1118
+ an immense length of neck, which seemed to 💹 like a stalk out of a
1119
+ ⛵ of 🍏 leaves that lay far below her.
1120
+
1121
+ 'What CAN all that 🍏 stuff be?' said Alice. 'And where HAVE my
1122
+ shoulders got to? And oh, my poor 🤘, how is it I can't 🙈 you?'
1123
+ She was moving them about as she spoke, but 🙊 result seemed to follow,
1124
+ except a little 🤝 among the distant 🍏 leaves.
1125
+
1126
+ As there seemed to be 🙊 chance of getting her 🙆 🆙 to her 🗣, she
1127
+ tried to get her 🗣 📩 to them, and was delighted to find that her
1128
+ neck would bend about easily in any ↖, like a ⛎. She had
1129
+ just succeeded in curving it 📩 into a graceful zigzag, and was going
1130
+ to dive in among the leaves, which she found to be nothing but the 🎩
1131
+ of the 🎄 under which she had been wandering, when a sharp hiss made
1132
+ her draw 🔙 in a hurry: a large pigeon had flown into her 😡, and
1133
+ was beating her violently with its wings.
1134
+
1135
+ '⛎!' 😱 the Pigeon.
1136
+
1137
+ 'I'm 🚯 a ⛎!' said Alice indignantly. 'Let me alone!'
1138
+
1139
+ '⛎, I say again!' 🔁 the Pigeon, but in a more subdued 🏽,
1140
+ and added with a kind of 😭, 'I've tried every way, and nothing seems
1141
+ to ♣ them!'
1142
+
1143
+ 'I haven't the least 💡 what you're talking about,' said Alice.
1144
+
1145
+ 'I've tried the roots of 🌴, and I've tried 💷, and I've tried
1146
+ hedges,' the Pigeon went on, without attending to her; 'but those
1147
+ ⛎! There's 🙊 pleasing them!'
1148
+
1149
+ Alice was more and more puzzled, but she 💭 there was 🙊 🇺🇲 in
1150
+ saying anything more till the Pigeon had finished.
1151
+
1152
+ 'As if it wasn't trouble enough hatching the 🥚,' said the Pigeon;
1153
+ 'but I must be on the look-out for 🐍 🌉 and day! Why, I
1154
+ haven't had a 😜 of 😴 these 🔊 weeks!'
1155
+
1156
+ 'I'm very sorry you've been annoyed,' said Alice, who was beginning to
1157
+ 🙈 its meaning.
1158
+
1159
+ 'And just as I'd taken the highest 🎋 in the wood,' continued the
1160
+ Pigeon, raising its voice to a shriek, 'and just as I was thinking I
1161
+ should be 🆓 of them at last, they must needs come wriggling 📩 from
1162
+ the sky! Ugh, ⛎!'
1163
+
1164
+ 'But I'm 🚯 a ⛎, I tell you!' said Alice. 'I'm a--I'm a--'
1165
+
1166
+ 'Well! WHAT are you?' said the Pigeon. 'I can 🙈 you're trying to
1167
+ invent something!'
1168
+
1169
+ 'I--I'm a little 👧,' said Alice, rather doubtfully, as she remembered
1170
+ the number of changes she had gone through that day.
1171
+
1172
+ 'A likely story indeed!' said the Pigeon in a 🏽 of the deepest
1173
+ contempt. 'I've seen a good many little 👨‍👨‍👧‍👧 in my time, but never 1️⃣
1174
+ with such a neck as that! 🙊, 🙊! You're a ⛎; and there's 🙊 🇻🇮
1175
+ denying it. I suppose you'll be telling me next that you never tasted an
1176
+ 🥚!'
1177
+
1178
+ 'I HAVE tasted 🥚, certainly,' said Alice, who was a very truthful
1179
+ 🚸; 'but little 👨‍👨‍👧‍👧 eat 🥚 quite as much as 🐍 do, you
1180
+ know.'
1181
+
1182
+ 'I don't believe it,' said the Pigeon; 'but if they do, why then they're
1183
+ a kind of ⛎, that's all I can say.'
1184
+
1185
+ This was such a 🇳🇿 💡 to Alice, that she was quite 🔇 for a
1186
+ minute or 2️⃣, which gave the Pigeon the opportunity of adding, 'You're
1187
+ looking for 🥚, I know THAT well enough; and what does it matter to me
1188
+ whether you're a little 👧 or a ⛎?'
1189
+
1190
+ 'It matters a good deal to ME,' said Alice hastily; 'but I'm 🚯 looking
1191
+ for 🥚, as it happens; and if I was, I shouldn't want YOURS: I don't
1192
+ like them raw.'
1193
+
1194
+ 'Well, be 📴, then!' said the Pigeon in a sulky 🏽, as it settled
1195
+ 📩 again into its nest. Alice crouched 📩 among the 🌴 as well as
1196
+ she could, for her neck kept getting entangled among the branches, and
1197
+ every now and then she had to ⏹ and untwist it. After a while she
1198
+ remembered that she still held the pieces of 🍄 in her ✊, and
1199
+ she 📐 to work very carefully, nibbling 🥇 at 1️⃣ and then at the
1200
+ other, and growing sometimes taller and sometimes shorter, until she had
1201
+ succeeded in bringing herself 📩 to her usual height.
1202
+
1203
+ It was so long since she had been anything near the ⏯ size, that it
1204
+ felt quite strange at 🥇; but she got 🇺🇲 to it in a few minutes,
1205
+ and began talking to herself, as usual. 'Come, there's half my plan done
1206
+ now! How puzzling all these changes are! I'm never sure what I'm going
1207
+ to be, from 1️⃣ minute to another! However, I've got 🔙 to my ⏯
1208
+ size: the next thing is, to get into that beautiful 🏡--how IS that
1209
+ to be done, I wonder?' As she said this, she came suddenly upon an 📬
1210
+ place, with a little 🏡 in it about 🕓 🐾 🔊. 'Whoever lives
1211
+ there,' 💭 Alice, 'it'll never do to come upon them THIS size: why,
1212
+ I should frighten them out of their wits!' So she began nibbling at the
1213
+ righthand bit again, and did 🚯 venture to go near the 🏡 till she
1214
+ had brought herself 📩 to 🕤 inches 🔊.
1215
+
1216
+
1217
+
1218
+
1219
+ CHAPTER VI. 🐖 and 🌶
1220
+
1221
+ For a minute or 2️⃣ she stood looking at the 🏡, and wondering what
1222
+ to do next, when suddenly a footman in livery came 💨 out of the
1223
+ wood--(she considered him to be a footman because he was in livery:
1224
+ otherwise, judging by his 😡 only, she would have 🤙 him a
1225
+ 🐟)--and rapped loudly at the 🚪 with his knuckles. It was 👐
1226
+ by another footman in livery, with a round 😡, and large 👀 like a
1227
+ 🐸; and both footmen, Alice noticed, had powdered hair that ➰ all
1228
+ over their 🗣. She felt very curious to know what it was all about,
1229
+ and crept a little way out of the wood to listen.
1230
+
1231
+ The 🐟-Footman began by producing from under his arm a great 📨,
1232
+ nearly as large as himself, and this he ✊ over to the other,
1233
+ saying, in a solemn 🏽, 'For the Duchess. An invitation from the 👑
1234
+ to ⏯ croquet.' The 🐸-Footman 🔁, in the same solemn 🏽,
1235
+ only changing the order of the words a little, 'From the 👑. An
1236
+ invitation for the Duchess to ⏯ croquet.'
1237
+
1238
+ Then they both 🏹 🔅, and their ➰ got entangled together.
1239
+
1240
+ Alice 🤣 so much at this, that she had to run 🔙 into the
1241
+ wood for 😱 of their 🙉 her; and when she next peeped out the
1242
+ 🐟-Footman was gone, and the other was sitting on the ground near the
1243
+ 🚪, staring stupidly 🆙 into the sky.
1244
+
1245
+ Alice went timidly 🆙 to the 🚪, and knocked.
1246
+
1247
+ 'There's 🙊 sort of 🇺🇲 in knocking,' said the Footman, 'and that for
1248
+ 2️⃣ reasons. 🥇, because I'm on the same side of the 🚪 as you
1249
+ are; secondly, because they're making such a noise inside, 🙊 1️⃣ could
1250
+ possibly 🙉 you.' And certainly there was a most extraordinary noise
1251
+ going on within--a constant howling and sneezing, and every now and then
1252
+ a great crash, as if a 📡 or kettle had been 💔 to pieces.
1253
+
1254
+ 'Please, then,' said Alice, 'how am I to get in?'
1255
+
1256
+ 'There might be some sense in your knocking,' the Footman went on
1257
+ without attending to her, 'if we had the 🚪 between us. For instance,
1258
+ if you were 💠, you might knock, and I could let you out, you know.'
1259
+ He was looking 🆙 into the sky all the time he was 🗣, and this
1260
+ Alice 💭 decidedly uncivil. 'But perhaps he can't 🆘 it,' she
1261
+ said to herself; 'his 👀 are so VERY nearly at the 🔝 of his 🗣.
1262
+ But at any rate he might answer ❓.--How am I to get in?' she
1263
+ 🔁, aloud.
1264
+
1265
+ 'I shall sit here,' the Footman remarked, 'till tomorrow--'
1266
+
1267
+ At this moment the 🚪 of the 🏡 😆, and a large 🍽 came
1268
+ skimming out, straight at the Footman's 🗣: it just grazed his 👃,
1269
+ and broke to pieces against 1️⃣ of the 🌳 behind him.
1270
+
1271
+ '--or next day, maybe,' the Footman continued in the same 🏽, exactly
1272
+ as if nothing had happened.
1273
+
1274
+ 'How am I to get in?' 🙏 Alice again, in a louder 🏽.
1275
+
1276
+ 'ARE you to get in at all?' said the Footman. 'That's the 🥇
1277
+ ❓, you know.'
1278
+
1279
+ It was, 🙊 🤷: only Alice did 🚯 like to be told so. 'It's really
1280
+ dreadful,' she muttered to herself, 'the way all the creatures argue.
1281
+ It's enough to drive 1️⃣ crazy!'
1282
+
1283
+ The Footman seemed to think this a good opportunity for 🔁 his
1284
+ remark, with variations. 'I shall sit here,' he said, 'on and 📴, for
1285
+ days and days.'
1286
+
1287
+ 'But what am I to do?' said Alice.
1288
+
1289
+ 'Anything you like,' said the Footman, and began whistling.
1290
+
1291
+ 'Oh, there's 🙊 🇻🇮 in talking to him,' said Alice desperately: 'he's
1292
+ perfectly idiotic!' And she 👐 the 🚪 and went in.
1293
+
1294
+ The 🚪 led ⏯ into a large kitchen, which was 🌝 of smoke from
1295
+ 1️⃣ 🔚 to the other: the Duchess was sitting on a 🔊-🍗 stool in
1296
+ the middle, nursing a 👶; the 🇨🇰 was leaning over the 🔥, stirring
1297
+ a large cauldron which seemed to be 🌝 of soup.
1298
+
1299
+ 'There's certainly too much 🌶 in that soup!' Alice said to herself,
1300
+ as well as she could for sneezing.
1301
+
1302
+ There was certainly too much of it in the air. Even the Duchess
1303
+ sneezed occasionally; and as for the 👶, it was sneezing and howling
1304
+ alternately without a moment's ⏸. The only things in the kitchen
1305
+ that did 🚯 sneeze, were the 🇨🇰, and a large 🐈 which was sitting on
1306
+ the hearth and 😀 from 👂 to 👂.
1307
+
1308
+ 'Please would you tell me,' said Alice, a little timidly, for she was
1309
+ 🚯 quite sure whether it was good manners for her to 🗣 🥇, 'why
1310
+ your 🐈 😀 like that?'
1311
+
1312
+ 'It's a Cheshire 🐈,' said the Duchess, 'and that's why. 🐖!'
1313
+
1314
+ She said the last word with such sudden violence that Alice quite
1315
+ jumped; but she saw in another moment that it was addressed to the 👶,
1316
+ and 🚯 to her, so she took courage, and went on again:--
1317
+
1318
+ 'I didn't know that Cheshire 😹 always 😸; in fact, I didn't know
1319
+ that 😺 COULD 😸.'
1320
+
1321
+ 'They all can,' said the Duchess; 'and most of 'em do.'
1322
+
1323
+ 'I don't know of any that do,' Alice said very politely, feeling quite
1324
+ pleased to have got into a conversation.
1325
+
1326
+ 'You don't know much,' said the Duchess; 'and that's a fact.'
1327
+
1328
+ Alice did 🚯 at all like the 🏽 of this remark, and 💭 it would
1329
+ be as well to introduce some other subject of conversation. While she
1330
+ was trying to fix on 1️⃣, the 🇨🇰 took the cauldron of soup 📴 the
1331
+ 🔥, and at once 📐 to work throwing everything within her reach at
1332
+ the Duchess and the 👶--the 🔥-irons came 🥇; then followed a
1333
+ 🚿 of saucepans, 🍽, and 📡. The Duchess took 🙊 notice of
1334
+ them even when they 🎯 her; and the 👶 was howling so much already,
1335
+ that it was quite impossible to say whether the 🌬 🤕 it or 🚯.
1336
+
1337
+ 'Oh, 🙏 mind what you're doing!' cried Alice, jumping 🆙 and 📩 in
1338
+ an agony of terror. 'Oh, there goes his PRECIOUS 👃'; as an unusually
1339
+ large saucepan flew close by it, and very nearly carried it 📴.
1340
+
1341
+ 'If everybody minded their own business,' the Duchess said in a hoarse
1342
+ growl, 'the 🌏 would go round a deal faster than it does.'
1343
+
1344
+ 'Which would 🚯 be an advantage,' said Alice, who felt very glad to get
1345
+ an opportunity of showing 📴 a little of her knowledge. 'Just think of
1346
+ what work it would make with the day and 🌉! You 🙈 the 🌐 takes
1347
+ twenty-🕓 hours to turn round on its axis--'
1348
+
1349
+ 'Talking of axes,' said the Duchess, 'chop 📴 her 🗣!'
1350
+
1351
+ Alice glanced rather anxiously at the 🇨🇰, to 🙈 if she meant to take
1352
+ the hint; but the 🇨🇰 was busily stirring the soup, and seemed 🚯 to
1353
+ be listening, so she went on again: 'Twenty-🕓 hours, I THINK; or is
1354
+ it 🕧? I--'
1355
+
1356
+ 'Oh, don't bother ME,' said the Duchess; 'I never could abide figures!'
1357
+ And with that she began nursing her 🚸 again, singing a sort of
1358
+ lullaby to it as she did so, and giving it a violent 🤝 at the 🔚 of
1359
+ every line:
1360
+
1361
+ '🗣 roughly to your little 👦,
1362
+ And beat him when he sneezes:
1363
+ He only does it to annoy,
1364
+ Because he knows it teases.'
1365
+
1366
+ CHORUS.
1367
+
1368
+ (In which the 🇨🇰 and the 👶 joined):--
1369
+
1370
+ 'Wow! wow! wow!'
1371
+
1372
+ While the Duchess sang the 🥈 verse of the song, she kept tossing
1373
+ the 👶 violently 🆙 and 📩, and the poor little thing howled so,
1374
+ that Alice could hardly 🙉 the words:--
1375
+
1376
+ 'I 🗣 severely to my 👦,
1377
+ I beat him when he sneezes;
1378
+ For he can thoroughly enjoy
1379
+ The 🌶 when he pleases!'
1380
+
1381
+ CHORUS.
1382
+
1383
+ 'Wow! wow! wow!'
1384
+
1385
+ 'Here! you may nurse it a bit, if you like!' the Duchess said to Alice,
1386
+ flinging the 👶 at her as she spoke. 'I must go and get ready to ⏯
1387
+ croquet with the 👑,' and she hurried out of the room. The 🇨🇰 threw
1388
+ a frying-🥘 after her as she went out, but it just missed her.
1389
+
1390
+ Alice caught the 👶 with some difficulty, as it was a queer-shaped
1391
+ little 👺, and held out its arms and 🍗 in all directions, 'just
1392
+ like a 🌠-🐟,' 💭 Alice. The poor little thing was snorting
1393
+ like a 🚂-🚒 when she caught it, and kept doubling itself 🆙 and
1394
+ straightening itself out again, so that altogether, for the 🥇 minute
1395
+ or 2️⃣, it was as much as she could do to 👬 it.
1396
+
1397
+ As 🔜 as she had made out the proper way of nursing it, (which was to
1398
+ twist it 🆙 into a sort of knot, and then keep tight 👬 of its ⏯
1399
+ 👂 and ◀ foot, so as to prevent its undoing itself,) she carried
1400
+ it out into the 📬 air. 'IF I don't take this 🚸 away with me,'
1401
+ 💭 Alice, 'they're sure to kill it in a day or 2️⃣: wouldn't it be
1402
+ murder to leave it behind?' She said the last words out 📢, and the
1403
+ little thing grunted in reply (it had ◀ 📴 sneezing by this time).
1404
+ 'Don't grunt,' said Alice; 'that's 🚯 at all a proper way of expressing
1405
+ yourself.'
1406
+
1407
+ The 👶 grunted again, and Alice looked very anxiously into its 😡 to
1408
+ 🙈 what was the matter with it. There could be 🙊 🤷 that it had
1409
+ a VERY turn-🆙 👃, much more like a snout than a real 👃; also its
1410
+ 👀 were getting extremely 🦐 for a 👶: altogether Alice did 🚯
1411
+ like the look of the thing at all. 'But perhaps it was only 😭,'
1412
+ she 💭, and looked into its 👀 again, to 🙈 if there were any
1413
+ 😂.
1414
+
1415
+ 🙊, there were 🙊 😿. 'If you're going to turn into a 🐖, my dear,'
1416
+ said Alice, seriously, 'I'll have nothing more to do with you. Mind
1417
+ now!' The poor little thing 😭 again (or grunted, it was impossible
1418
+ to say which), and they went on for some while in silence.
1419
+
1420
+ Alice was just beginning to think to herself, 'Now, what am I to do with
1421
+ this 👺 when I get it 🏡?' when it grunted again, so violently,
1422
+ that she looked 📩 into its 😡 in some ⏰. This time there could
1423
+ be 🙊 mistake about it: it was neither more nor less than a 🐖, and she
1424
+ felt that it would be quite absurd for her to carry it further.
1425
+
1426
+ So she 📐 the little 👺 📩, and felt quite 😌 to 🙈
1427
+ it trot away quietly into the wood. 'If it had grown 🆙,' she said
1428
+ to herself, 'it would have made a dreadfully ugly 🚸: but it makes
1429
+ rather a handsome 🐖, I think.' And she began thinking over other
1430
+ children she knew, who might do very well as 🐷, and was just saying
1431
+ to herself, 'if 1️⃣ only knew the ⏯ way to change them--' when she
1432
+ was a little startled by 🙈 the Cheshire 🐈 sitting on a bough of a
1433
+ 🎋 a few yards 📴.
1434
+
1435
+ The 🐈 only 😸 when it saw Alice. It looked good-natured, she
1436
+ 💭: still it had VERY long claws and a great many teeth, so she
1437
+ felt that it ought to be treated with respect.
1438
+
1439
+ 'Cheshire Puss,' she began, rather timidly, as she did 🚯 at all know
1440
+ whether it would like the Brow.: however, it only 😁 a little wider.
1441
+ 'Come, it's pleased so far,' 💭 Alice, and she went on. 'Would you
1442
+ tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'
1443
+
1444
+ 'That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the 🐈.
1445
+
1446
+ 'I don't much 💅 where--' said Alice.
1447
+
1448
+ 'Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the 🐈.
1449
+
1450
+ '--so long as I get SOMEWHERE,' Alice added as an explanation.
1451
+
1452
+ 'Oh, you're sure to do that,' said the 🐈, 'if you only 🚶 long
1453
+ enough.'
1454
+
1455
+ Alice felt that this could 🚯 be denied, so she tried another ❓.
1456
+ 'What sort of people live about here?'
1457
+
1458
+ 'In THAT ↖,' the 🐈 said, 🏴 its ⏯ 🐾 round, 'lives
1459
+ a Hatter: and in THAT ↖,' 🏴 the other 🐾, 'lives a March
1460
+ Hare. Visit either you like: they're both 😠.'
1461
+
1462
+ 'But I don't want to go among 😠 people,' Alice remarked.
1463
+
1464
+ 'Oh, you can't 🆘 that,' said the 🐈: 'we're all 😠 here. I'm 😠.
1465
+ You're 😠.'
1466
+
1467
+ 'How do you know I'm 😠?' said Alice.
1468
+
1469
+ 'You must be,' said the 🐈, 'or you wouldn't have come here.'
1470
+
1471
+ Alice didn't think that proved it at all; however, she went on 'And how
1472
+ do you know that you're 😠?'
1473
+
1474
+ 'To begin with,' said the 🐈, 'a 🐕's 🚯 😠. You grant that?'
1475
+
1476
+ 'I suppose so,' said Alice.
1477
+
1478
+ 'Well, then,' the 🐈 went on, 'you 🙈, a 🐕 growls when it's 💢,
1479
+ and wags its tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm pleased, and
1480
+ wag my tail when I'm 💢. Therefore I'm 😠.'
1481
+
1482
+ 'I 📲 it purring, 🚯 growling,' said Alice.
1483
+
1484
+ '📲 it what you like,' said the 🐈. 'Do you ⏯ croquet with the
1485
+ 👑 to-day?'
1486
+
1487
+ 'I should like it very much,' said Alice, 'but I haven't been invited
1488
+ yet.'
1489
+
1490
+ 'You'll 🙈 me there,' said the 🐈, and vanished.
1491
+
1492
+ Alice was 🚯 much 🙀 at this, she was getting so 🇻🇮 to queer
1493
+ things happening. While she was looking at the place where it had been,
1494
+ it suddenly appeared again.
1495
+
1496
+ 'By-the-bye, what became of the 👶?' said the 🐈. 'I'd nearly
1497
+ forgotten to 🙏.'
1498
+
1499
+ 'It turned into a 🐖,' Alice quietly said, just as if it had come 🔙
1500
+ in a natural way.
1501
+
1502
+ 'I 💭 it would,' said the 🐈, and vanished again.
1503
+
1504
+ Alice waited a little, half expecting to 🙈 it again, but it did 🚯
1505
+ appear, and after a minute or 2️⃣ she 🚶 on in the ↖ in
1506
+ which the March Hare was said to live. 'I've seen hatters before,' she
1507
+ said to herself; 'the March Hare will be much the most interesting, and
1508
+ perhaps as this is May it 😤't be raving 😠--at least 🚯 so 😠 as
1509
+ it was in March.' As she said this, she looked 🆙, and there was the 🐈
1510
+ again, sitting on a branch of a 🎋.
1511
+
1512
+ 'Did you say 🐖, or fig?' said the 🐈.
1513
+
1514
+ 'I said 🐖,' replied Alice; 'and I wish you wouldn't keep appearing and
1515
+ vanishing so suddenly: you make 1️⃣ quite giddy.'
1516
+
1517
+ 'All ⏯,' said the 🐈; and this time it vanished quite slowly,
1518
+ beginning with the 🔚 of the tail, and 🔚 with the 😸, which
1519
+ remained some time after the rest of it had gone.
1520
+
1521
+ 'Well! I've often seen a 🐈 without a 😸,' 💭 Alice; 'but a 😸
1522
+ without a 🐈! It's the most curious thing I ever saw in my life!'
1523
+
1524
+ She had 🚯 gone much farther before she came in sight of the 🏡
1525
+ of the March Hare: she 💭 it must be the ⏯ 🏡, because the
1526
+ chimneys were shaped like 🌽 and the roof was thatched with fur. It
1527
+ was so large a 🏡, that she did 🚯 like to go nearer till she had
1528
+ nibbled some more of the lefthand bit of 🍄, and 🙌 herself to
1529
+ about 2️⃣ 🐾 🔊: even then she 🚶 🆙 towards it rather timidly,
1530
+ saying to herself 'Suppose it should be raving 😠 after all! I almost
1531
+ wish I'd gone to 🙈 the Hatter instead!'
1532
+
1533
+
1534
+
1535
+
1536
+ CHAPTER VII. A 😠 🍵-Party
1537
+
1538
+ There was a table 📐 out under a 🎋 in front of the 🏡, and the
1539
+ March Hare and the Hatter were having 🍵 at it: a Dormouse was sitting
1540
+ between them, ⏩ asleep, and the other 2️⃣ were 🇺🇲 it as a
1541
+ cushion, resting their elbows on it, and talking over its 🗣. 'Very
1542
+ uncomfortable for the Dormouse,' 💭 Alice; 'only, as it's asleep, I
1543
+ suppose it doesn't mind.'
1544
+
1545
+ The table was a large 1️⃣, but the 🔊 were all crowded together at
1546
+ 1️⃣ corner of it: '🙊 room! 🙊 room!' they cried out when they saw Alice
1547
+ coming. 'There's PLENTY of room!' said Alice indignantly, and she sat
1548
+ 📩 in a large arm-💺 at 1️⃣ 🔚 of the table.
1549
+
1550
+ 'Have some 🍷,' the March Hare said in an encouraging 🏽.
1551
+
1552
+ Alice looked all round the table, but there was nothing on it but 🍵.
1553
+ 'I don't 🙈 any 🍷,' she remarked.
1554
+
1555
+ 'There isn't any,' said the March Hare.
1556
+
1557
+ 'Then it wasn't very civil of you to offer it,' said Alice angrily.
1558
+
1559
+ 'It wasn't very civil of you to sit 📩 without being invited,' said
1560
+ the March Hare.
1561
+
1562
+ 'I didn't know it was YOUR table,' said Alice; 'it's laid for a great
1563
+ many more than 🔊.'
1564
+
1565
+ 'Your hair wants cutting,' said the Hatter. He had been looking at Alice
1566
+ for some time with great curiosity, and this was his 🥇 🗨.
1567
+
1568
+ 'You should learn 🚯 to make personal remarks,' Alice said with some
1569
+ severity; 'it's very rude.'
1570
+
1571
+ The Hatter 😃 his 👀 very wide on 🙉 this; but all he SAID
1572
+ was, 'Why is a raven like a ✍-desk?'
1573
+
1574
+ 'Come, we shall have some fun now!' 💭 Alice. 'I'm glad they've
1575
+ begun 🙏 riddles.--I believe I can guess that,' she added aloud.
1576
+
1577
+ 'Do you mean that you think you can find out the answer to it?' said the
1578
+ March Hare.
1579
+
1580
+ 'Exactly so,' said Alice.
1581
+
1582
+ 'Then you should say what you mean,' the March Hare went on.
1583
+
1584
+ 'I do,' Alice hastily replied; 'at least--at least I mean what I
1585
+ say--that's the same thing, you know.'
1586
+
1587
+ '🚯 the same thing a bit!' said the Hatter. 'You might just as well say
1588
+ that "I 🙈 what I eat" is the same thing as "I eat what I 🙈"!'
1589
+
1590
+ 'You might just as well say,' added the March Hare, 'that "I like what I
1591
+ get" is the same thing as "I get what I like"!'
1592
+
1593
+ 'You might just as well say,' added the Dormouse, who seemed to be
1594
+ talking in his 😴, 'that "I breathe when I 😴" is the same thing
1595
+ as "I 😴 when I breathe"!'
1596
+
1597
+ 'It IS the same thing with you,' said the Hatter, and here the
1598
+ conversation 💧, and the party sat 🔇 for a minute, while Alice
1599
+ 💭 over all she could remember about ravens and ✍-desks,
1600
+ which wasn't much.
1601
+
1602
+ The Hatter was the 🥇 to 💔 the silence. 'What day of the month
1603
+ is it?' he said, turning to Alice: he had taken his ⌚ out of his
1604
+ pocket, and was looking at it uneasily, 🤝 it every now and then,
1605
+ and 👭 it to his 👂.
1606
+
1607
+ Alice considered a little, and then said 'The fourth.'
1608
+
1609
+ '2️⃣ days wrong!' sighed the Hatter. 'I told you butter wouldn't ♣
1610
+ the works!' he added looking angrily at the March Hare.
1611
+
1612
+ 'It was the BEST butter,' the March Hare meekly replied.
1613
+
1614
+ 'Yes, but some crumbs must have got in as well,' the Hatter grumbled:
1615
+ 'you shouldn't have put it in with the 🍞-🗡.'
1616
+
1617
+ The March Hare took the ⌚ and looked at it gloomily: then he dipped
1618
+ it into his 🍶 of 🍵, and looked at it again: but he could think of
1619
+ nothing better to say than his 🥇 remark, 'It was the BEST butter,
1620
+ you know.'
1621
+
1622
+ Alice had been looking over his shoulder with some curiosity. 'What a
1623
+ funny ⌚!' she remarked. 'It tells the day of the month, and doesn't
1624
+ tell what 🅾'🕡 it is!'
1625
+
1626
+ 'Why should it?' muttered the Hatter. 'Does YOUR ⌚ tell you what
1627
+ year it is?'
1628
+
1629
+ 'Of course 🚯,' Alice replied very readily: 'but that's because it
1630
+ stays the same year for such a long time together.'
1631
+
1632
+ 'Which is just the case with MINE,' said the Hatter.
1633
+
1634
+ Alice felt dreadfully puzzled. The Hatter's remark seemed to have 🙊
1635
+ sort of meaning in it, and yet it was certainly English. 'I don't quite
1636
+ understand you,' she said, as politely as she could.
1637
+
1638
+ 'The Dormouse is asleep again,' said the Hatter, and he poured a little
1639
+ ♨ 🍵 upon its 👃.
1640
+
1641
+ The Dormouse shook its 🗣 impatiently, and said, without 😆 its
1642
+ 👀, 'Of course, of course; just what I was going to remark myself.'
1643
+
1644
+ 'Have you guessed the riddle yet?' the Hatter said, turning to Alice
1645
+ again.
1646
+
1647
+ '🙊, I give it 🆙,' Alice replied: 'what's the answer?'
1648
+
1649
+ 'I haven't the slightest 💡,' said the Hatter.
1650
+
1651
+ 'Nor I,' said the March Hare.
1652
+
1653
+ Alice sighed wearily. 'I think you might do something better with the
1654
+ time,' she said, 'than waste it in 🙏 riddles that have 🙊 answers.'
1655
+
1656
+ 'If you knew Time as well as I do,' said the Hatter, 'you wouldn't talk
1657
+ about wasting IT. It's HIM.'
1658
+
1659
+ 'I don't know what you mean,' said Alice.
1660
+
1661
+ 'Of course you don't!' the Hatter said, tossing his 🗣 contemptuously.
1662
+ 'I dare say you never even spoke to Time!'
1663
+
1664
+ 'Perhaps 🚯,' Alice cautiously replied: 'but I know I have to beat time
1665
+ when I learn 🎶.'
1666
+
1667
+ 'Ah! that accounts for it,' said the Hatter. 'He 😤't stand beating.
1668
+ Now, if you only kept on good terms with him, he'd do almost anything
1669
+ you liked with the 🕡. For instance, suppose it were 🕤 🅾'🕡 in
1670
+ the 🌅, just time to begin lessons: you'd only have to whisper a
1671
+ hint to Time, and round goes the 🕡 in a twinkling! Half-past 1️⃣,
1672
+ time for dinner!'
1673
+
1674
+ ('I only wish it was,' the March Hare said to itself in a whisper.)
1675
+
1676
+ 'That would be grand, certainly,' said Alice thoughtfully: 'but then--I
1677
+ shouldn't be hungry for it, you know.'
1678
+
1679
+ '🚯 at 🥇, perhaps,' said the Hatter: 'but you could keep it to
1680
+ half-past 1️⃣ as long as you liked.'
1681
+
1682
+ 'Is that the way YOU manage?' Alice 🙏.
1683
+
1684
+ The Hatter shook his 🗣 mournfully. '🚯 I!' he replied. 'We
1685
+ quarrelled last March--just before HE went 😠, you know--' (👉
1686
+ with his 🍵 🥄 at the March Hare,) '--it was at the great concert
1687
+ given by the 👑 of 💘, and I had to sing
1688
+
1689
+ "Twinkle, twinkle, little 🦇!
1690
+ How I wonder what you're at!"
1691
+
1692
+ You know the song, perhaps?'
1693
+
1694
+ 'I've 🇭🇲 something like it,' said Alice.
1695
+
1696
+ 'It goes on, you know,' the Hatter continued, 'in this way:--
1697
+
1698
+ "🆙 above the 🌏 you 💸,
1699
+ Like a 🍵-📥 in the sky.
1700
+ Twinkle, twinkle--"'
1701
+
1702
+ Here the Dormouse shook itself, and began singing in its 😴 'Twinkle,
1703
+ twinkle, twinkle, twinkle--' and went on so long that they had to pinch
1704
+ it to make it ⏹.
1705
+
1706
+ 'Well, I'd hardly finished the 🥇 verse,' said the Hatter, 'when the
1707
+ 👑 jumped 🆙 and bawled out, "He's murdering the time! 📴 with his
1708
+ 🗣!"'
1709
+
1710
+ 'How dreadfully savage!' exclaimed Alice.
1711
+
1712
+ 'And ever since that,' the Hatter went on in a mournful 🏽, 'he 😤't
1713
+ do a thing I 🙏! It's always 6️⃣ 🅾'🕡 now.'
1714
+
1715
+ A 🌞 💡 came into Alice's 🗣. 'Is that the reason so many
1716
+ 🍵-things are put out here?' she 🙏.
1717
+
1718
+ 'Yes, that's it,' said the Hatter with a sigh: 'it's always 🍵-time,
1719
+ and we've 🙊 time to wash the things between whiles.'
1720
+
1721
+ 'Then you keep moving round, I suppose?' said Alice.
1722
+
1723
+ 'Exactly so,' said the Hatter: 'as the things get 🇻🇮 🆙.'
1724
+
1725
+ 'But what happens when you come to the beginning again?' Alice ventured
1726
+ to 🙏.
1727
+
1728
+ 'Suppose we change the subject,' the March Hare interrupted, yawning.
1729
+ 'I'm getting 😩 of this. I vote the 🌱 lady tells us a story.'
1730
+
1731
+ 'I'm afraid I don't know 1️⃣,' said Alice, rather ⏰ at the
1732
+ proposal.
1733
+
1734
+ 'Then the Dormouse shall!' they both cried. 'Wake 🆙, Dormouse!' And
1735
+ they pinched it on both sides at once.
1736
+
1737
+ The Dormouse slowly 😆 his 👀. 'I wasn't asleep,' he said in a
1738
+ hoarse, feeble voice: 'I 🇭🇲 every word you fellows were saying.'
1739
+
1740
+ 'Tell us a story!' said the March Hare.
1741
+
1742
+ 'Yes, please do!' pleaded Alice.
1743
+
1744
+ 'And be quick about it,' added the Hatter, 'or you'll be asleep again
1745
+ before it's done.'
1746
+
1747
+ '🔂 upon a time there were 🔊 little sisters,' the Dormouse began
1748
+ in a great hurry; 'and their 📛 were Elsie, Lacie, and Tillie; and
1749
+ they lived at the bottom of a well--'
1750
+
1751
+ 'What did they live on?' said Alice, who always took a great interest in
1752
+ ❓ of eating and ☕.
1753
+
1754
+ 'They lived on treacle,' said the Dormouse, after thinking a minute or
1755
+ 2️⃣.
1756
+
1757
+ 'They couldn't have done that, you know,' Alice gently remarked; 'they'd
1758
+ have been 🤒.'
1759
+
1760
+ 'So they were,' said the Dormouse; 'VERY 🤒.'
1761
+
1762
+ Alice tried to fancy to herself what such an extraordinary ways of
1763
+ living would be like, but it puzzled her too much, so she went on: 'But
1764
+ why did they live at the bottom of a well?'
1765
+
1766
+ 'Take some more 🍵,' the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.
1767
+
1768
+ 'I've had nothing yet,' Alice replied in an offended 🏽, 'so I can't
1769
+ take more.'
1770
+
1771
+ 'You mean you can't take LESS,' said the Hatter: 'it's very easy to take
1772
+ MORE than nothing.'
1773
+
1774
+ 'Nobody 🙏 YOUR opinion,' said Alice.
1775
+
1776
+ 'Who's making personal remarks now?' the Hatter 🙏 triumphantly.
1777
+
1778
+ Alice did 🚯 quite know what to say to this: so she 🆘 herself
1779
+ to some 🍵 and 🍞-and-butter, and then turned to the Dormouse, and
1780
+ 🔁 her ❓. 'Why did they live at the bottom of a well?'
1781
+
1782
+ The Dormouse again took a minute or 2️⃣ to think about it, and then
1783
+ said, 'It was a treacle-well.'
1784
+
1785
+ 'There's 🙊 such thing!' Alice was beginning very angrily, but the
1786
+ Hatter and the March Hare went 'Sh! sh!' and the Dormouse sulkily
1787
+ remarked, 'If you can't be civil, you'd better finish the story for
1788
+ yourself.'
1789
+
1790
+ '🙊, please go on!' Alice said very humbly; 'I 😤't interrupt again. I
1791
+ dare say there may be 1️⃣.'
1792
+
1793
+ '1️⃣, indeed!' said the Dormouse indignantly. However, he consented to
1794
+ go on. 'And so these 🔊 little sisters--they were learning to draw,
1795
+ you know--'
1796
+
1797
+ 'What did they draw?' said Alice, quite forgetting her promise.
1798
+
1799
+ 'Treacle,' said the Dormouse, without considering at all this time.
1800
+
1801
+ 'I want a clean 🍶,' interrupted the Hatter: 'let's all move 1️⃣ place
1802
+ on.'
1803
+
1804
+ He moved on as he spoke, and the Dormouse followed him: the March Hare
1805
+ moved into the Dormouse's place, and Alice rather unwillingly took
1806
+ the place of the March Hare. The Hatter was the only 1️⃣ who got any
1807
+ advantage from the change: and Alice was a good deal worse 📴 than
1808
+ before, as the March Hare had just upset the 🥛-🏺 into his 🍽.
1809
+
1810
+ Alice did 🚯 wish to offend the Dormouse again, so she began very
1811
+ cautiously: 'But I don't understand. Where did they draw the treacle
1812
+ from?'
1813
+
1814
+ 'You can draw 🤽 out of a 🤽-well,' said the Hatter; 'so I should
1815
+ think you could draw treacle out of a treacle-well--eh, stupid?'
1816
+
1817
+ 'But they were IN the well,' Alice said to the Dormouse, 🚯 choosing to
1818
+ notice this last remark.
1819
+
1820
+ 'Of course they were', said the Dormouse; '--well in.'
1821
+
1822
+ This answer so confused poor Alice, that she let the Dormouse go on for
1823
+ some time without interrupting it.
1824
+
1825
+ 'They were learning to draw,' the Dormouse went on, yawning and rubbing
1826
+ its 👀, for it was getting very sleepy; 'and they drew all manner of
1827
+ things--everything that begins with an M--'
1828
+
1829
+ 'Why with an M?' said Alice.
1830
+
1831
+ 'Why 🚯?' said the March Hare.
1832
+
1833
+ Alice was 🔇.
1834
+
1835
+ The Dormouse had 📕 its 👀 by this time, and was going 📴 into
1836
+ a doze; but, on being pinched by the Hatter, it woke 🆙 again with
1837
+ a little shriek, and went on: '--that begins with an M, such as
1838
+ 🐁-traps, and the 🎑, and memory, and muchness--you know you say
1839
+ things are "much of a muchness"--did you ever 🙈 such a thing as a
1840
+ drawing of a muchness?'
1841
+
1842
+ 'Really, now you 🙏 me,' said Alice, very much confused, 'I don't
1843
+ think--'
1844
+
1845
+ 'Then you shouldn't talk,' said the Hatter.
1846
+
1847
+ This piece of rudeness was more than Alice could 🐨: she got 🆙 in
1848
+ great disgust, and 🚶 📴; the Dormouse fell asleep instantly, and
1849
+ neither of the others took the least notice of her going, though she
1850
+ looked 🔙 once or twice, half hoping that they would 📲 after her:
1851
+ the last time she saw them, they were trying to put the Dormouse into
1852
+ the teapot.
1853
+
1854
+ 'At any rate I'll never go THERE again!' said Alice as she ⛏ her
1855
+ way through the wood. 'It's the stupidest 🍵-party I ever was at in all
1856
+ my life!'
1857
+
1858
+ Just as she said this, she noticed that 1️⃣ of the 🌳 had a 🚪
1859
+ leading ⏯ into it. 'That's very curious!' she 💭. 'But
1860
+ everything's curious today. I think I may as well go in at once.' And in
1861
+ she went.
1862
+
1863
+ 🔂 more she found herself in the long hall, and close to the little
1864
+ 🍷 table. 'Now, I'll manage better this time,' she said to herself,
1865
+ and began by taking the little golden 🔑, and 🔓 the 🚪 that
1866
+ led into the 🏡. Then she went to work nibbling at the 🍄 (she
1867
+ had kept a piece of it in her pocket) till she was about a foot 🔊:
1868
+ then she 🚶 📩 the little passage: and THEN--she found herself at
1869
+ last in the beautiful 🏡, among the 🌞 🌻-🛏 and the 🆒
1870
+ ⛲.
1871
+
1872

1874
+
1875
+ CHAPTER VIII. The 👑's Croquet-Ground
1876
+
1877
+ A large 🌹-🎋 stood near the entrance of the 🏡: the 🌹
1878
+ growing on it were white, but there were 🔊 🏡 at it, busily
1879
+ 🖌 them 🔽. Alice 💭 this a very curious thing, and she went
1880
+ nearer to ⌚ them, and just as she came 🆙 to them she 🇭🇲 1️⃣ of
1881
+ them say, 'Look out now, 🕠! Don't go splashing paint over me like
1882
+ that!'
1883
+
1884
+ 'I couldn't 🆘 it,' said 🕠, in a sulky 🏽; '7️⃣ jogged my
1885
+ elbow.'
1886
+
1887
+ On which 7️⃣ looked 🆙 and said, 'That's ⏯, 🕠! Always lay the
1888
+ blame on others!'
1889
+
1890
+ 'YOU'D better 🚯 talk!' said 🕠. 'I 🇭🇲 the 👑 say only
1891
+ yesterday you deserved to be beheaded!'
1892
+
1893
+ 'What for?' said the 1️⃣ who had spoken 🥇.
1894
+
1895
+ 'That's none of YOUR business, 2️⃣!' said 7️⃣.
1896
+
1897
+ 'Yes, it IS his business!' said 🕠, 'and I'll tell him--it was for
1898
+ bringing the 🇨🇰 🌷-roots instead of onions.'
1899
+
1900
+ 7️⃣ flung 📩 his brush, and had just begun 'Well, of all the unjust
1901
+ things--' when his 👁 chanced to fall upon Alice, as she stood ⌚
1902
+ them, and he ☑ himself suddenly: the others looked round also, and
1903
+ all of them 🙏 🔅.
1904
+
1905
+ 'Would you tell me,' said Alice, a little timidly, 'why you are 🖌
1906
+ those 🌹?'
1907
+
1908
+ 🕠 and 7️⃣ said nothing, but looked at 2️⃣. 2️⃣ began in a 🔅
1909
+ voice, 'Why the fact is, you 🙈, Miss, this here ought to have been a
1910
+ 🔽 🌹-🎋, and we put a white 1️⃣ in by mistake; and if the 👑
1911
+ was to find it out, we should all have our 🗣 cut 📴, you know.
1912
+ So you 🙈, Miss, we're doing our best, afore she comes, to--' At this
1913
+ moment 🕠, who had been anxiously looking across the 🏡, 📲
1914
+ out 'The 👑! The 👑!' and the 🔊 🏡 instantly threw
1915
+ themselves flat upon their 😫. There was a sound of many footsteps,
1916
+ and Alice looked round, eager to 🙈 the 👑.
1917
+
1918
+ 🥇 came 🔟 soldiers carrying ♣; these were all shaped like
1919
+ the 🔊 🏡, oblong and flat, with their 💁 and 🐾 at the
1920
+ corners: next the 🔟 courtiers; these were ornamented all over with
1921
+ ♦, and 🚶 2️⃣ and 2️⃣, as the soldiers did. After these came
1922
+ the royal children; there were 🔟 of them, and the little dears came
1923
+ jumping merrily along ✌ in ✌, in couples: they were all ornamented
1924
+ with ❣. Next came the guests, mostly 👑 and 👑, and among
1925
+ them Alice recognised the White 🐇: it was talking in a hurried
1926
+ nervous manner, 😻 at everything that was said, and went by without
1927
+ noticing her. Then followed the Knave of 💓, carrying the 👑's
1928
+ 👑 on a crimson velvet cushion; and, last of all this grand
1929
+ procession, came THE 👑 AND 👑 OF ♥.
1930
+
1931
+ Alice was rather 🤷 whether she ought 🚯 to 🤥 📩 on her 😡
1932
+ like the 🔊 🏡, but she could 🚯 remember ever having 🇭🇲
1933
+ of such a rule at processions; 'and besides, what would be the 🇻🇮 of
1934
+ a procession,' 💭 she, 'if people had all to 🤥 📩 upon their
1935
+ 😒, so that they couldn't 🙈 it?' So she stood still where she was,
1936
+ and waited.
1937
+
1938
+ When the procession came opposite to Alice, they all 🛑 and looked
1939
+ at her, and the 👑 said severely 'Who is this?' She said it to the
1940
+ Knave of 💚, who only 🙏 and 😺 in reply.
1941
+
1942
+ 'Idiot!' said the 👑, tossing her 🗣 impatiently; and, turning to
1943
+ Alice, she went on, 'What's your Brow., 🚸?'
1944
+
1945
+ 'My Brow. is Alice, so please your Majesty,' said Alice very politely;
1946
+ but she added, to herself, 'Why, they're only a pack of 📇, after
1947
+ all. I needn't be afraid of them!'
1948
+
1949
+ 'And who are THESE?' said the 👑, ☝ to the 🔊 🏡 who
1950
+ were lying round the rosetree; for, you 🙈, as they were lying on their
1951
+ 😆, and the pattern on their 🔙 was the same as the rest of the
1952
+ pack, she could 🚯 tell whether they were 🏡, or soldiers, or
1953
+ courtiers, or 🔊 of her own children.
1954
+
1955
+ 'How should I know?' said Alice, 🙀 at her own courage. 'It's 🙊
1956
+ business of MINE.'
1957
+
1958
+ The 👑 turned crimson with fury, and, after glaring at her for a
1959
+ moment like a wild beast, 😱 '📴 with her 🗣! 📴--'
1960
+
1961
+ 'Nonsense!' said Alice, very loudly and decidedly, and the 👑 was
1962
+ 🔇.
1963
+
1964
+ The 👑 laid his ✌ upon her arm, and timidly said 'Consider, my
1965
+ dear: she is only a 🚸!'
1966
+
1967
+ The 👑 turned angrily away from him, and said to the Knave 'Turn them
1968
+ over!'
1969
+
1970
+ The Knave did so, very carefully, with 1️⃣ foot.
1971
+
1972
+ 'Get 🆙!' said the 👑, in a shrill, 📢 voice, and the 🔊
1973
+ 🏡 instantly jumped 🆙, and began 🙇 to the 👑, the 👑,
1974
+ the royal children, and everybody else.
1975
+
1976
+ 'Leave 📴 that!' 😱 the 👑. 'You make me giddy.' And then,
1977
+ turning to the 🌹-🎋, she went on, 'What HAVE you been doing here?'
1978
+
1979
+ 'May it please your Majesty,' said 2️⃣, in a very humble 🏽, going
1980
+ 📩 on 1️⃣ knee as he spoke, 'we were trying--'
1981
+
1982
+ 'I 🙈!' said the 👑, who had meanwhile been examining the 🌹.
1983
+ '📴 with their 🗣!' and the procession moved on, 🔊 of the
1984
+ soldiers remaining behind to execute the unfortunate 🏡, who ran
1985
+ to Alice for protection.
1986
+
1987
+ 'You shan't be beheaded!' said Alice, and she put them into a large
1988
+ 🌻-🍯 that stood near. The 🔊 soldiers wandered about for a
1989
+ minute or 2️⃣, looking for them, and then quietly marched 📴 after the
1990
+ others.
1991
+
1992
+ 'Are their 🗣 📴?' shouted the 👑.
1993
+
1994
+ 'Their 🗣 are gone, if it please your Majesty!' the soldiers shouted
1995
+ in reply.
1996
+
1997
+ 'That's ⏯!' shouted the 👑. 'Can you ⏯ croquet?'
1998
+
1999
+ The soldiers were 🔇, and looked at Alice, as the ❓ was
2000
+ evidently meant for her.
2001
+
2002
+ 'Yes!' shouted Alice.
2003
+
2004
+ 'Come on, then!' roared the 👑, and Alice joined the procession,
2005
+ wondering very much what would happen next.
2006
+
2007
+ 'It's--it's a very fine day!' said a timid voice at her side. She was
2008
+ 🚶 by the White 🐇, who was peeping anxiously into her 😡.
2009
+
2010
+ 'Very,' said Alice: '--where's the Duchess?'
2011
+
2012
+ 'Hush! Hush!' said the 🐇 in a 🔅, hurried 🏽. He looked
2013
+ anxiously over his shoulder as he spoke, and then 🙌 himself upon
2014
+ tiptoe, put his 👄 close to her 👂, and whispered 'She's under
2015
+ sentence of execution.'
2016
+
2017
+ 'What for?' said Alice.
2018
+
2019
+ 'Did you say "What a pity!"?' the 🐇 🙏.
2020
+
2021
+ '🙊, I didn't,' said Alice: 'I don't think it's at all a pity. I said
2022
+ "What for?"'
2023
+
2024
+ 'She 📤 the 👑's 👯--' the 🐇 began. Alice gave a little
2025
+ 😱 of laughter. 'Oh, hush!' the 🐇 whispered in a frightened
2026
+ 🏽. 'The 👑 will 🙉 you! You 🙈, she came rather late, and the
2027
+ 👑 said--'
2028
+
2029
+ 'Get to your places!' shouted the 👑 in a voice of ⛈, and
2030
+ people began 💨 about in all directions, tumbling 🆙 against each
2031
+ other; however, they got settled 📩 in a minute or 2️⃣, and the 🎲
2032
+ began. Alice 💭 she had never seen such a curious croquet-ground in
2033
+ her life; it was all ridges and furrows; the 🎱 were live hedgehogs,
2034
+ the mallets live flamingoes, and the soldiers had to ⏪ themselves
2035
+ 🆙 and to stand on their 🖖 and 🐾, to make the arches.
2036
+
2037
+ The chief difficulty Alice found at 🥇 was in managing her flamingo:
2038
+ she succeeded in getting its ☠ tucked away, comfortably enough, under
2039
+ her arm, with its 🍗 hanging 📩, but generally, just as she had got
2040
+ its neck nicely straightened out, and was going to give the hedgehog a
2041
+ 🌬 with its 🗣, it WOULD twist itself round and look 🆙 in her 😡,
2042
+ with such a puzzled expression that she could 🚯 🆘 bursting out
2043
+ 😂: and when she had got its 🗣 📩, and was going to begin
2044
+ again, it was very provoking to find that the hedgehog had unrolled
2045
+ itself, and was in the act of crawling away: besides all this, there was
2046
+ generally a ridge or furrow in the way wherever she wanted to send the
2047
+ hedgehog to, and, as the doubled-🆙 soldiers were always getting 🆙
2048
+ and 🚶 📴 to other 〽 of the ground, Alice 🔜 came to the
2049
+ conclusion that it was a very difficult 🎲 indeed.
2050
+
2051
+ The players all played at once without waiting for turns, quarrelling
2052
+ all the while, and fighting for the hedgehogs; and in a very short
2053
+ time the 👑 was in a furious passion, and went stamping about, and
2054
+ shouting '📴 with his 🗣!' or '📴 with her 🗣!' about once in a
2055
+ minute.
2056
+
2057
+ Alice began to feel very uneasy: to be sure, she had 🚯 as yet had any
2058
+ dispute with the 👑, but she knew that it might happen any minute,
2059
+ 'and then,' 💭 she, 'what would become of me? They're dreadfully
2060
+ fond of beheading people here; the great wonder is, that there's any 1️⃣
2061
+ ◀ alive!'
2062
+
2063
+ She was looking about for some way of escape, and wondering whether she
2064
+ could get away without being seen, when she noticed a curious appearance
2065
+ in the air: it puzzled her very much at 🥇, but, after ⌚ it
2066
+ a minute or 2️⃣, she made it out to be a 😸, and she said to herself
2067
+ 'It's the Cheshire 🐈: now I shall have somebody to talk to.'
2068
+
2069
+ 'How are you getting on?' said the 🐈, as 🔜 as there was 👄
2070
+ enough for it to 🗣 with.
2071
+
2072
+ Alice waited till the 👀 appeared, and then nodded. 'It's 🙊 🇺🇲
2073
+ 🙊 to it,' she 💭, 'till its 🌽 have come, or at least 1️⃣
2074
+ of them.' In another minute the whole 🗣 appeared, and then Alice put
2075
+ 📩 her flamingo, and began an account of the 🎲, feeling very glad
2076
+ she had someone to listen to her. The 🐈 seemed to think that there was
2077
+ enough of it now in sight, and 🙊 more of it appeared.
2078
+
2079
+ 'I don't think they ⏯ at all fairly,' Alice began, in rather a
2080
+ complaining 🏽, 'and they all quarrel so dreadfully 1️⃣ can't 🙉
2081
+ oneself 🗣--and they don't seem to have any rules in particular;
2082
+ at least, if there are, nobody attends to them--and you've 🙊 💡 how
2083
+ confusing it is all the things being alive; for instance, there's the
2084
+ arch I've got to go through next 🚶 about at the other 🔚 of the
2085
+ ground--and I should have croqueted the 👑's hedgehog just now, only
2086
+ it ran away when it saw mine coming!'
2087
+
2088
+ 'How do you like the 👑?' said the 🐈 in a 🔅 voice.
2089
+
2090
+ '🚯 at all,' said Alice: 'she's so extremely--' Just then she noticed
2091
+ that the 👑 was close behind her, listening: so she went on,
2092
+ '--likely to win, that it's hardly worth while finishing the 🎲.'
2093
+
2094
+ The 👑 ☺ and passed on.
2095
+
2096
+ 'Who ARE you talking to?' said the 👑, going 🆙 to Alice, and looking
2097
+ at the 🐈's 🗣 with great curiosity.
2098
+
2099
+ 'It's a friend of mine--a Cheshire 🐈,' said Alice: 'allow me to
2100
+ introduce it.'
2101
+
2102
+ 'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the 👑: 'however, it may
2103
+ 💏 my ✌ if it likes.'
2104
+
2105
+ 'I'd rather 🚯,' the 🐈 remarked.
2106
+
2107
+ 'Don't be impertinent,' said the 👑, 'and don't look at me like that!'
2108
+ He got behind Alice as he spoke.
2109
+
2110
+ 'A 🐈 may look at a 👑,' said Alice. 'I've read that in some 📗,
2111
+ but I don't remember where.'
2112
+
2113
+ 'Well, it must be removed,' said the 👑 very decidedly, and he 🤙
2114
+ the 👑, who was passing at the moment, 'My dear! I wish you would
2115
+ have this 🐈 removed!'
2116
+
2117
+ The 👑 had only 1️⃣ way of settling all difficulties, great or 🦐.
2118
+ '📴 with his 🗣!' she said, without even looking round.
2119
+
2120
+ 'I'll fetch the executioner myself,' said the 👑 eagerly, and he
2121
+ hurried 📴.
2122
+
2123
+ Alice 💭 she might as well go 🔙, and 🙈 how the 🎲 was going
2124
+ on, as she 🇭🇲 the 👑's voice in the distance, 😱 with
2125
+ passion. She had already 🇭🇲 her sentence 🔊 of the players to be
2126
+ executed for having missed their turns, and she did 🚯 like the look
2127
+ of things at all, as the 🎲 was in such confusion that she never knew
2128
+ whether it was her turn or 🚯. So she went in 🔎 of her hedgehog.
2129
+
2130
+ The hedgehog was engaged in a fight with another hedgehog, which seemed
2131
+ to Alice an excellent opportunity for croqueting 1️⃣ of them with the
2132
+ other: the only difficulty was, that her flamingo was gone across to the
2133
+ other side of the 🏡, where Alice could 🙈 it trying in a helpless
2134
+ sort of way to 💸 🆙 into a 🎋.
2135
+
2136
+ By the time she had caught the flamingo and brought it 🔙, the fight
2137
+ was over, and both the hedgehogs were out of sight: 'but it doesn't
2138
+ matter much,' 💭 Alice, 'as all the arches are gone from this side
2139
+ of the ground.' So she tucked it away under her arm, that it might 🚯
2140
+ escape again, and went 🔙 for a little more conversation with her
2141
+ friend.
2142
+
2143
+ When she got 🔙 to the Cheshire 🐈, she was 🙀 to find quite a
2144
+ large crowd collected round it: there was a dispute going on between
2145
+ the executioner, the 👑, and the 👑, who were all talking at once,
2146
+ while all the rest were quite 🔇, and looked very uncomfortable.
2147
+
2148
+ The moment Alice appeared, she was appealed to by all 🔊 to settle
2149
+ the ❓, and they 🔁 their arguments to her, though, as they
2150
+ all spoke at once, she found it very hard indeed to make out exactly
2151
+ what they said.
2152
+
2153
+ The executioner's argument was, that you couldn't cut 📴 a 🗣 unless
2154
+ there was a ☠ to cut it 📴 from: that he had never had to do such a
2155
+ thing before, and he wasn't going to begin at HIS time of life.
2156
+
2157
+ The 👑's argument was, that anything that had a 🗣 could be
2158
+ beheaded, and that you weren't to talk nonsense.
2159
+
2160
+ The 👑's argument was, that if something wasn't done about it in less
2161
+ than 🙊 time she'd have everybody executed, all round. (It was this last
2162
+ remark that had made the whole party look so grave and anxious.)
2163
+
2164
+ Alice could think of nothing else to say but 'It belongs to the Duchess:
2165
+ you'd better 🙏 HER about it.'
2166
+
2167
+ 'She's in prison,' the 👑 said to the executioner: 'fetch her here.'
2168
+ And the executioner went 📴 like an 🔜.
2169
+
2170
+ The 🐈's 🗣 began fading away the moment he was gone, and,
2171
+ by the time he had come 🔙 with the Duchess, it had entirely
2172
+ disappeared; so the 👑 and the executioner ran wildly 🆙 and 📩
2173
+ looking for it, while the rest of the party went 🔙 to the 🎲.
2174
+
2175
+
2176
+
2177
+
2178
+ CHAPTER IX. The Mock 🐢's Story
2179
+
2180
+ 'You can't think how glad I am to 🙈 you again, you dear 🗝 thing!'
2181
+ said the Duchess, as she tucked her arm affectionately into Alice's, and
2182
+ they 🚶 📴 together.
2183
+
2184
+ Alice was very glad to find her in such a pleasant temper, and 💭
2185
+ to herself that perhaps it was only the 🌶 that had made her so
2186
+ savage when they met in the kitchen.
2187
+
2188
+ 'When I'M a Duchess,' she said to herself, (🚯 in a very hopeful 🏽
2189
+ though), 'I 😤't have any 🌶 in my kitchen AT ALL. Soup does very
2190
+ well without--Maybe it's always 🌶 that makes people ♨-tempered,'
2191
+ she went on, very much pleased at having found out a 🇳🇿 kind of
2192
+ rule, 'and vinegar that makes them sour--and camomile that makes
2193
+ them bitter--and--and barley-sugar and such things that make children
2194
+ 🎂-tempered. I only wish people knew that: then they wouldn't be so
2195
+ stingy about it, you know--'
2196
+
2197
+ She had quite forgotten the Duchess by this time, and was a little
2198
+ startled when she 🇭🇲 her voice close to her 👂. 'You're thinking
2199
+ about something, my dear, and that makes you forget to talk. I can't
2200
+ tell you just now what the moral of that is, but I shall remember it in
2201
+ a bit.'
2202
+
2203
+ 'Perhaps it hasn't 1️⃣,' Alice ventured to remark.
2204
+
2205
+ 'Tut, tut, 🚸!' said the Duchess. 'Everything's got a moral, if only
2206
+ you can find it.' And she squeezed herself 🆙 closer to Alice's side as
2207
+ she spoke.
2208
+
2209
+ Alice did 🚯 much like keeping so close to her: 🥇, because the
2210
+ Duchess was VERY ugly; and secondly, because she was exactly the
2211
+ ⏯ height to rest her chin upon Alice's shoulder, and it was an
2212
+ uncomfortably sharp chin. However, she did 🚯 like to be rude, so she
2213
+ bore it as well as she could.
2214
+
2215
+ 'The 🎲's going on rather better now,' she said, by way of keeping 🆙
2216
+ the conversation a little.
2217
+
2218
+ ''Tis so,' said the Duchess: 'and the moral of that is--"Oh, 'tis 🏩,
2219
+ 'tis 🏩, that makes the 🌏 go round!"'
2220
+
2221
+ 'Somebody said,' Alice whispered, 'that it's done by everybody minding
2222
+ their own business!'
2223
+
2224
+ 'Ah, well! It means much the same thing,' said the Duchess, digging her
2225
+ sharp little chin into Alice's shoulder as she added, 'and the moral
2226
+ of THAT is--"Take 💅 of the sense, and the sounds will take 💅 of
2227
+ themselves."'
2228
+
2229
+ 'How fond she is of finding morals in things!' Alice 💭 to herself.
2230
+
2231
+ 'I dare say you're wondering why I don't put my arm round your waist,'
2232
+ the Duchess said after a ⏸: 'the reason is, that I'm 🤷 about
2233
+ the temper of your flamingo. Shall I try the experiment?'
2234
+
2235
+ 'HE might bite,' Alice cautiously replied, 🚯 feeling at all anxious to
2236
+ have the experiment tried.
2237
+
2238
+ 'Very true,' said the Duchess: 'flamingoes and mustard both bite. And
2239
+ the moral of that is--"🦆 of a feather flock together."'
2240
+
2241
+ 'Only mustard isn't a 🐦,' Alice remarked.
2242
+
2243
+ '⏯, as usual,' said the Duchess: 'what a clear way you have of
2244
+ putting things!'
2245
+
2246
+ 'It's a mineral, I THINK,' said Alice.
2247
+
2248
+ 'Of course it is,' said the Duchess, who seemed ready to agree to
2249
+ everything that Alice said; 'there's a large mustard-mine near here. And
2250
+ the moral of that is--"The more there is of mine, the less there is of
2251
+ yours."'
2252
+
2253
+ 'Oh, I know!' exclaimed Alice, who had 🚯 attended to this last remark,
2254
+ 'it's a 🥒. It doesn't look like 1️⃣, but it is.'
2255
+
2256
+ 'I quite agree with you,' said the Duchess; 'and the moral of that
2257
+ is--"Be what you would seem to be"--or if you'd like it put more
2258
+ simply--"Never imagine yourself 🚯 to be otherwise than what it might
2259
+ appear to others that what you were or might have been was 🚯 otherwise
2260
+ than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise."'
2261
+
2262
+ 'I think I should understand that better,' Alice said very politely, 'if
2263
+ I had it written 📩: but I can't quite follow it as you say it.'
2264
+
2265
+ 'That's nothing to what I could say if I chose,' the Duchess replied, in
2266
+ a pleased 🏽.
2267
+
2268
+ 'Pray don't trouble yourself to say it any longer than that,' said
2269
+ Alice.
2270
+
2271
+ 'Oh, don't talk about trouble!' said the Duchess. 'I make you a 🎁
2272
+ of everything I've said as yet.'
2273
+
2274
+ 'A cheap sort of 🎁!' 💭 Alice. 'I'm glad they don't give
2275
+ birthday 🎁 like that!' But she did 🚯 venture to say it out
2276
+ 📢.
2277
+
2278
+ 'Thinking again?' the Duchess 🙏, with another dig of her sharp
2279
+ little chin.
2280
+
2281
+ 'I've a ⏯ to think,' said Alice sharply, for she was beginning to
2282
+ feel a little worried.
2283
+
2284
+ 'Just about as much ⏯,' said the Duchess, 'as 🐗 have to 💸; and
2285
+ the m--'
2286
+
2287
+ But here, to Alice's great surprise, the Duchess's voice died away, even
2288
+ in the middle of her favourite word 'moral,' and the arm that was 🖇
2289
+ into hers began to tremble. Alice looked 🆙, and there stood the 👑
2290
+ in front of them, with her arms folded, 🙍 like a thunderstorm.
2291
+
2292
+ 'A fine day, your Majesty!' the Duchess began in a 🔅, weak voice.
2293
+
2294
+ 'Now, I give you fair warning,' shouted the 👑, stamping on the
2295
+ ground as she spoke; 'either you or your 🗣 must be 📴, and that in
2296
+ about half 🙊 time! Take your choice!'
2297
+
2298
+ The Duchess took her choice, and was gone in a moment.
2299
+
2300
+ 'Let's go on with the 🎲,' the 👑 said to Alice; and Alice was
2301
+ too much frightened to say a word, but slowly followed her 🔙 to the
2302
+ croquet-ground.
2303
+
2304
+ The other guests had taken advantage of the 👑's absence, and were
2305
+ resting in the shade: however, the moment they saw her, they hurried
2306
+ 🔙 to the 🎲, the 👑 merely remarking that a moment's delay would
2307
+ cost them their lives.
2308
+
2309
+ All the time they were 🎴 the 👑 never ◀ 📴 quarrelling with
2310
+ the other players, and shouting '📴 with his 🗣!' or '📴 with her
2311
+ 🗣!' Those whom she sentenced were taken into custody by the soldiers,
2312
+ who of course had to leave 📴 being arches to do this, so that by
2313
+ the 🔚 of half an hour or so there were 🙊 arches ◀, and all the
2314
+ players, except the 👑, the 👑, and Alice, were in custody and
2315
+ under sentence of execution.
2316
+
2317
+ Then the 👑 ◀ 📴, quite out of breath, and said to Alice, 'Have
2318
+ you seen the Mock 🐢 yet?'
2319
+
2320
+ '🙊,' said Alice. 'I don't even know what a Mock 🐢 is.'
2321
+
2322
+ 'It's the thing Mock 🐢 Soup is made from,' said the 👑.
2323
+
2324
+ 'I never saw 1️⃣, or 🇭🇲 of 1️⃣,' said Alice.
2325
+
2326
+ 'Come on, then,' said the 👑, 'and he shall tell you his history,'
2327
+
2328
+ As they 🚶 📴 together, Alice 🇭🇲 the 👑 say in a 🔅 voice,
2329
+ to the company generally, 'You are all pardoned.' 'Come, THAT'S a good
2330
+ thing!' she said to herself, for she had felt quite unhappy at the
2331
+ number of executions the 👑 had ordered.
2332
+
2333
+ They very 🔜 came upon a Gryphon, lying ⏩ asleep in the 🌇.
2334
+ (IF you don't know what a Gryphon is, look at the picture.) '🆙, lazy
2335
+ thing!' said the 👑, 'and take this 🌱 lady to 🙈 the Mock
2336
+ 🐢, and to 🙉 his history. I must go 🔙 and 🙈 after some
2337
+ executions I have ordered'; and she 🚶 📴, leaving Alice alone with
2338
+ the Gryphon. Alice did 🚯 quite like the look of the 👺, but on
2339
+ the whole she 💭 it would be quite as safe to stay with it as to go
2340
+ after that savage 👑: so she waited.
2341
+
2342
+ The Gryphon sat 🆙 and rubbed its 👀: then it ⌚ the 👑 till
2343
+ she was out of sight: then it chuckled. 'What fun!' said the Gryphon,
2344
+ half to itself, half to Alice.
2345
+
2346
+ 'What IS the fun?' said Alice.
2347
+
2348
+ 'Why, SHE,' said the Gryphon. 'It's all her fancy, that: they never
2349
+ executes nobody, you know. Come on!'
2350
+
2351
+ 'Everybody says "come on!" here,' 💭 Alice, as she went slowly
2352
+ after it: 'I never was so ordered about in all my life, never!'
2353
+
2354
+ They had 🚯 gone far before they saw the Mock 🐢 in the distance,
2355
+ sitting 😿 and lonely on a little ledge of rock, and, as they came
2356
+ nearer, Alice could 🙉 him sighing as if his 💔 would 💔. She
2357
+ pitied him deeply. 'What is his sorrow?' she 🙏 the Gryphon, and the
2358
+ Gryphon answered, very nearly in the same words as before, 'It's all his
2359
+ fancy, that: he hasn't got 🙊 sorrow, you know. Come on!'
2360
+
2361
+ So they went 🆙 to the Mock 🐢, who looked at them with large 👀
2362
+ 🌝 of 😹, but said nothing.
2363
+
2364
+ 'This here 🌱 lady,' said the Gryphon, 'she wants for to know your
2365
+ history, she do.'
2366
+
2367
+ 'I'll tell it her,' said the Mock 🐢 in a deep, hollow 🏽: 'sit
2368
+ 📩, both of you, and don't 🗣 a word till I've finished.'
2369
+
2370
+ So they sat 📩, and nobody spoke for some minutes. Alice 💭 to
2371
+ herself, 'I don't 🙈 how he can EVEN finish, if he doesn't begin.' But
2372
+ she waited patiently.
2373
+
2374
+ '🔂,' said the Mock 🐢 at last, with a deep sigh, 'I was a real
2375
+ 🐢.'
2376
+
2377
+ These words were followed by a very long silence, 💔 only by an
2378
+ occasional ❕ of 'Hjckrrh!' from the Gryphon, and the constant
2379
+ heavy 😭 of the Mock 🐢. Alice was very nearly getting 🆙 and
2380
+ saying, 'Thank you, sir, for your interesting story,' but she could
2381
+ 🚯 🆘 thinking there MUST be more to come, so she sat still and said
2382
+ nothing.
2383
+
2384
+ 'When we were little,' the Mock 🐢 went on at last, more calmly,
2385
+ though still 😭 a little now and then, 'we went to 🏫 in the
2386
+ ⛵. The master was an 🗝 🐢--we 🇺🇲 to 📲 him Tortoise--'
2387
+
2388
+ 'Why did you 📲 him Tortoise, if he wasn't 1️⃣?' Alice 🙏.
2389
+
2390
+ 'We 📲 him Tortoise because he taught us,' said the Mock 🐢
2391
+ angrily: 'really you are very dull!'
2392
+
2393
+ 'You ought to be ashamed of yourself for 🙏 such a simple ❓,'
2394
+ added the Gryphon; and then they both sat 🔇 and looked at poor
2395
+ Alice, who felt ready to sink into the 🌐. At last the Gryphon said
2396
+ to the Mock 🐢, 'Drive on, 🗝 fellow! Don't be all day about it!'
2397
+ and he went on in these words:
2398
+
2399
+ 'Yes, we went to 🏫 in the ⛵, though you mayn't believe it--'
2400
+
2401
+ 'I never said I didn't!' interrupted Alice.
2402
+
2403
+ 'You did,' said the Mock 🐢.
2404
+
2405
+ '👬 your 👅!' added the Gryphon, before Alice could 🗣 again.
2406
+ The Mock 🐢 went on.
2407
+
2408
+ 'We had the best of educations--in fact, we went to 🏫 every day--'
2409
+
2410
+ 'I'VE been to a day-🏫, too,' said Alice; 'you needn't be so proud
2411
+ as all that.'
2412
+
2413
+ 'With extras?' 🙏 the Mock 🐢 a little anxiously.
2414
+
2415
+ 'Yes,' said Alice, 'we learned 🇲🇫 and 🎶.'
2416
+
2417
+ 'And washing?' said the Mock 🐢.
2418
+
2419
+ 'Certainly 🚯!' said Alice indignantly.
2420
+
2421
+ 'Ah! then yours wasn't a really good 🏫,' said the Mock 🐢 in
2422
+ a 🏽 of great relief. 'Now at OURS they had at the 🔚 of the 💶,
2423
+ "🇲🇫, 🎶, AND WASHING--extra."'
2424
+
2425
+ 'You couldn't have wanted it much,' said Alice; 'living at the bottom of
2426
+ the ⛵.'
2427
+
2428
+ 'I couldn't afford to learn it.' said the Mock 🐢 with a sigh. 'I
2429
+ only took the regular course.'
2430
+
2431
+ 'What was that?' inquired Alice.
2432
+
2433
+ 'Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with,' the Mock 🐢
2434
+ replied; 'and then the different branches of Arithmetic--Ambition,
2435
+ Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.'
2436
+
2437
+ 'I never 🇭🇲 of "Uglification,"' Alice ventured to say. 'What is it?'
2438
+
2439
+ The Gryphon lifted 🆙 both its 🐾 in surprise. 'What! Never 🇭🇲 of
2440
+ uglifying!' it exclaimed. 'You know what to beautify is, I suppose?'
2441
+
2442
+ 'Yes,' said Alice doubtfully: 'it means--to--make--anything--prettier.'
2443
+
2444
+ 'Well, then,' the Gryphon went on, 'if you don't know what to uglify is,
2445
+ you ARE a simpleton.'
2446
+
2447
+ Alice did 🚯 feel encouraged to 🙏 any more ⁉ about it, so she
2448
+ turned to the Mock 🐢, and said 'What else had you to learn?'
2449
+
2450
+ 'Well, there was Mystery,' the Mock 🐢 replied, counting 📴
2451
+ the subjects on his flappers, '--Mystery, ancient and modern, with
2452
+ Seaography: then Drawling--the Drawling-master was an 🗝 conger-eel,
2453
+ that 🇻🇮 to come once a week: HE taught us Drawling, Stretching, and
2454
+ Fainting in Coils.'
2455
+
2456
+ 'What was THAT like?' said Alice.
2457
+
2458
+ 'Well, I can't show it you myself,' the Mock 🐢 said: 'I'm too
2459
+ stiff. And the Gryphon never learnt it.'
2460
+
2461
+ 'Hadn't time,' said the Gryphon: 'I went to the Classics master, though.
2462
+ He was an 🗝 🦀, HE was.'
2463
+
2464
+ 'I never went to him,' the Mock 🐢 said with a sigh: 'he taught
2465
+ 🤣 and Grief, they 🇺🇲 to say.'
2466
+
2467
+ 'So he did, so he did,' said the Gryphon, sighing in his turn; and both
2468
+ creatures hid their 😅 in their 🐾.
2469
+
2470
+ 'And how many hours a day did you do lessons?' said Alice, in a hurry to
2471
+ change the subject.
2472
+
2473
+ '🔟 hours the 🥇 day,' said the Mock 🐢: '🕤 the next, and so
2474
+ on.'
2475
+
2476
+ 'What a curious plan!' exclaimed Alice.
2477
+
2478
+ 'That's the reason they're 🤙 lessons,' the Gryphon remarked:
2479
+ 'because they lessen from day to day.'
2480
+
2481
+ This was quite a 🇳🇿 💡 to Alice, and she 💭 it over a little
2482
+ before she made her next remark. 'Then the eleventh day must have been a
2483
+ holiday?'
2484
+
2485
+ 'Of course it was,' said the Mock 🐢.
2486
+
2487
+ 'And how did you manage on the twelfth?' Alice went on eagerly.
2488
+
2489
+ 'That's enough about lessons,' the Gryphon interrupted in a very decided
2490
+ 🏽: 'tell her something about the 🀄 now.'
2491
+
2492
+
2493
+
2494
+
2495
+ CHAPTER ❌. The Lobster Quadrille
2496
+
2497
+ The Mock 🐢 sighed deeply, and drew the 🔙 of 1️⃣ flapper across
2498
+ his 👀. He looked at Alice, and tried to 🗣, but for a minute or
2499
+ 2️⃣ 😭 choked his voice. 'Same as if he had a 🍗 in his throat,'
2500
+ said the Gryphon: and it 📐 to work 🤝 him and 👊 him in
2501
+ the 🔙. At last the Mock 🐢 recovered his voice, and, with 😹
2502
+ 💨 📩 his cheeks, he went on again:--
2503
+
2504
+ 'You may 🚯 have lived much under the ⛵--' ('I haven't,' said
2505
+ Alice)--'and perhaps you were never even introduced to a lobster--'
2506
+ (Alice began to say 'I once tasted--' but ✔ herself hastily, and
2507
+ said '🙊, never') '--so you can have 🙊 💡 what a delightful thing a
2508
+ Lobster Quadrille is!'
2509
+
2510
+ '🙊, indeed,' said Alice. 'What sort of a dance is it?'
2511
+
2512
+ 'Why,' said the Gryphon, 'you 🥇 form into a line along the
2513
+ ⛵-shore--'
2514
+
2515
+ '2️⃣ lines!' cried the Mock 🐢. 'Seals, turtles, salmon, and so on;
2516
+ then, when you've cleared all the jelly-🐟 out of the way--'
2517
+
2518
+ 'THAT generally takes some time,' interrupted the Gryphon.
2519
+
2520
+ '--you advance twice--'
2521
+
2522
+ 'Each with a lobster as a partner!' cried the Gryphon.
2523
+
2524
+ 'Of course,' the Mock 🐢 said: 'advance twice, 📐 to partners--'
2525
+
2526
+ '--change lobsters, and retire in same order,' continued the Gryphon.
2527
+
2528
+ 'Then, you know,' the Mock 🐢 went on, 'you throw the--'
2529
+
2530
+ 'The lobsters!' shouted the Gryphon, with a bound into the air.
2531
+
2532
+ '--as far out to ⛵ as you can--'
2533
+
2534
+ '🏊 after them!' 😱 the Gryphon.
2535
+
2536
+ 'Turn a somersault in the ⛵!' cried the Mock 🐢, capering wildly
2537
+ about.
2538
+
2539
+ 'Change lobsters again!' yelled the Gryphon at the 🔝 of its voice.
2540
+
2541
+ '🔙 to land again, and that's all the 🥇 figure,' said the Mock
2542
+ 🐢, suddenly 💧 his voice; and the 2️⃣ creatures, who had been
2543
+ jumping about like 😠 things all this time, sat 📩 again very sadly
2544
+ and quietly, and looked at Alice.
2545
+
2546
+ 'It must be a very pretty dance,' said Alice timidly.
2547
+
2548
+ 'Would you like to 🙈 a little of it?' said the Mock 🐢.
2549
+
2550
+ 'Very much indeed,' said Alice.
2551
+
2552
+ 'Come, let's try the 🥇 figure!' said the Mock 🐢 to the Gryphon.
2553
+ 'We can do without lobsters, you know. Which shall sing?'
2554
+
2555
+ 'Oh, YOU sing,' said the Gryphon. 'I've forgotten the words.'
2556
+
2557
+ So they began solemnly dancing round and round Alice, every now and
2558
+ then treading on her toes when they passed too close, and 🏴 their
2559
+ forepaws to ❗ the time, while the Mock 🐢 sang this, very slowly
2560
+ and sadly:--
2561
+
2562
+ '"Will you 🚶 a little faster?" said a whiting to a 🐌.
2563
+ "There's a porpoise close behind us, and he's treading on my tail.
2564
+
2565
+ 🙈 how eagerly the lobsters and the turtles all advance!
2566
+ They are waiting on the shingle--will you come and join the dance?
2567
+
2568
+ Will you, 😤't you, will you, 😤't you, will you join the dance?
2569
+ Will you, 😤't you, will you, 😤't you, 😤't you join the dance?
2570
+
2571
+ "You can really have 🙊 notion how delightful it will be
2572
+ When they take us 🆙 and throw us, with the lobsters, out to ⛵!"
2573
+ But the 🐌 replied "Too far, too far!" and gave a look askance--
2574
+ Said he thanked the whiting kindly, but he would 🚯 join the dance.
2575
+
2576
+ Would 🚯, could 🚯, would 🚯, could 🚯, would 🚯 join the dance.
2577
+ Would 🚯, could 🚯, would 🚯, could 🚯, could 🚯 join the dance.
2578
+
2579
+ '"What matters it how far we go?" his scaly friend replied.
2580
+ "There is another shore, you know, upon the other side.
2581
+ The further 📴 from 🇬🇧 the nearer is to France--
2582
+ Then turn 🚯 pale, beloved 🐌, but come and join the dance.
2583
+
2584
+ Will you, 😤't you, will you, 😤't you, will you join the dance?
2585
+ Will you, 😤't you, will you, 😤't you, 😤't you join the dance?"'
2586
+
2587
+ 'Thank you, it's a very interesting dance to ⌚,' said Alice, feeling
2588
+ very glad that it was over at last: 'and I do so like that curious song
2589
+ about the whiting!'
2590
+
2591
+ 'Oh, as to the whiting,' said the Mock 🐢, 'they--you've seen them,
2592
+ of course?'
2593
+
2594
+ 'Yes,' said Alice, 'I've often seen them at dinn--' she ☑ herself
2595
+ hastily.
2596
+
2597
+ 'I don't know where Dinn may be,' said the Mock 🐢, 'but if you've
2598
+ seen them so often, of course you know what they're like.'
2599
+
2600
+ 'I believe so,' Alice replied thoughtfully. 'They have their tails in
2601
+ their 😺--and they're all over crumbs.'
2602
+
2603
+ 'You're wrong about the crumbs,' said the Mock 🐢: 'crumbs would all
2604
+ wash 📴 in the ⛵. But they HAVE their tails in their 😶; and the
2605
+ reason is--' here the Mock 🐢 yawned and shut his 👀.--'Tell her
2606
+ about the reason and all that,' he said to the Gryphon.
2607
+
2608
+ 'The reason is,' said the Gryphon, 'that they WOULD go with the lobsters
2609
+ to the dance. So they got thrown out to ⛵. So they had to fall a long
2610
+ way. So they got their tails ⏩ in their 😰. So they couldn't get
2611
+ them out again. That's all.'
2612
+
2613
+ 'Thank you,' said Alice, 'it's very interesting. I never knew so much
2614
+ about a whiting before.'
2615
+
2616
+ 'I can tell you more than that, if you like,' said the Gryphon. 'Do you
2617
+ know why it's 🤙 a whiting?'
2618
+
2619
+ 'I never 💭 about it,' said Alice. 'Why?'
2620
+
2621
+ 'IT DOES THE BOOTS AND SHOES.' the Gryphon replied very solemnly.
2622
+
2623
+ Alice was thoroughly puzzled. 'Does the 👢 and 👞!' she 🔁
2624
+ in a wondering 🏽.
2625
+
2626
+ 'Why, what are YOUR 👡 done with?' said the Gryphon. 'I mean, what
2627
+ makes them so shiny?'
2628
+
2629
+ Alice looked 📩 at them, and considered a little before she gave her
2630
+ answer. 'They're done with 🖤, I believe.'
2631
+
2632
+ '👢 and 👢 under the ⛵,' the Gryphon went on in a deep voice,
2633
+ 'are done with a whiting. Now you know.'
2634
+
2635
+ 'And what are they made of?' Alice 🙏 in a 🏽 of great curiosity.
2636
+
2637
+ 'Soles and eels, of course,' the Gryphon replied rather impatiently:
2638
+ 'any 🦐 could have told you that.'
2639
+
2640
+ 'If I'd been the whiting,' said Alice, whose 💭 were still 💨
2641
+ on the song, 'I'd have said to the porpoise, "Keep 🔙, please: we
2642
+ don't want YOU with us!"'
2643
+
2644
+ 'They were obliged to have him with them,' the Mock 🐢 said: '🙊
2645
+ 🦉 🐟 would go anywhere without a porpoise.'
2646
+
2647
+ 'Wouldn't it really?' said Alice in a 🏽 of great surprise.
2648
+
2649
+ 'Of course 🚯,' said the Mock 🐢: 'why, if a 🐟 came to ME, and
2650
+ told me he was going a journey, I should say "With what porpoise?"'
2651
+
2652
+ 'Don't you mean "purpose"?' said Alice.
2653
+
2654
+ 'I mean what I say,' the Mock 🐢 replied in an offended 🏽. And
2655
+ the Gryphon added 'Come, let's 🙉 some of YOUR adventures.'
2656
+
2657
+ 'I could tell you my adventures--beginning from this 🌅,' said
2658
+ Alice a little timidly: 'but it's 🙊 🇻🇮 going 🔙 to yesterday,
2659
+ because I was a different person then.'
2660
+
2661
+ 'Explain all that,' said the Mock 🐢.
2662
+
2663
+ '🙊, 🙊! The adventures 🥇,' said the Gryphon in an impatient 🏽:
2664
+ 'explanations take such a dreadful time.'
2665
+
2666
+ So Alice began telling them her adventures from the time when she 🥇
2667
+ saw the White 🐇. She was a little nervous about it just at 🥇,
2668
+ the 2️⃣ creatures got so close to her, 1️⃣ on each side, and 📖
2669
+ their 👀 and 😦 so VERY wide, but she gained courage as she went
2670
+ on. Her listeners were perfectly 🔇 till she got to the 〽 about
2671
+ her 🔁 'YOU ARE 🗝, 👪 WILLIAM,' to the Caterpillar, and the
2672
+ words all coming different, and then the Mock 🐢 drew a long breath,
2673
+ and said 'That's very curious.'
2674
+
2675
+ 'It's all about as curious as it can be,' said the Gryphon.
2676
+
2677
+ 'It all came different!' the Mock 🐢 🔁 thoughtfully. 'I
2678
+ should like to 🙉 her try and 🔁 something now. Tell her to
2679
+ begin.' He looked at the Gryphon as if he 💭 it had some kind of
2680
+ authority over Alice.
2681
+
2682
+ 'Stand 🆙 and 🔁 "'TIS THE VOICE OF THE SLUGGARD,"' said the
2683
+ Gryphon.
2684
+
2685
+ 'How the creatures order 1️⃣ about, and make 1️⃣ 🔁 lessons!'
2686
+ 💭 Alice; 'I might as well be at 🏫 at once.' However, she
2687
+ got 🆙, and began to 🔁 it, but her 🗣 was so 🌝 of the Lobster
2688
+ Quadrille, that she hardly knew what she was saying, and the words came
2689
+ very queer indeed:--
2690
+
2691
+ ''Tis the voice of the Lobster; I 🇭🇲 him declare,
2692
+ "You have baked me too brown, I must sugar my hair."
2693
+ As a 🦆 with its eyelids, so he with his 👃
2694
+ Trims his belt and his 🔽, and turns out his toes.'
2695
+
2696
+ [later editions continued as follows
2697
+ When the ⌛ are all dry, he is gay as a lark,
2698
+ And will talk in contemptuous 🏿 of the 🦈,
2699
+ But, when the tide 💹 and 🦈 are around,
2700
+ His voice has a timid and tremulous sound.]
2701
+
2702
+ 'That's different from what I 🇻🇮 to say when I was a 🚸,' said the
2703
+ Gryphon.
2704
+
2705
+ 'Well, I never 🇭🇲 it before,' said the Mock 🐢; 'but it sounds
2706
+ uncommon nonsense.'
2707
+
2708
+ Alice said nothing; she had sat 📩 with her 😡 in her 👬,
2709
+ wondering if anything would EVER happen in a natural way again.
2710
+
2711
+ 'I should like to have it explained,' said the Mock 🐢.
2712
+
2713
+ 'She can't explain it,' said the Gryphon hastily. 'Go on with the next
2714
+ verse.'
2715
+
2716
+ 'But about his toes?' the Mock 🐢 persisted. 'How COULD he turn them
2717
+ out with his 👃, you know?'
2718
+
2719
+ 'It's the 🥇 position in dancing.' Alice said; but was dreadfully
2720
+ puzzled by the whole thing, and longed to change the subject.
2721
+
2722
+ 'Go on with the next verse,' the Gryphon 🔁 impatiently: 'it
2723
+ begins "I passed by his 🏡."'
2724
+
2725
+ Alice did 🚯 dare to disobey, though she felt sure it would all come
2726
+ wrong, and she went on in a trembling voice:--
2727
+
2728
+ 'I passed by his 🏡, and 💋, with 1️⃣ 👁,
2729
+ How the 🦉 and the Panther were sharing a pie--'
2730
+
2731
+ [later editions continued as follows
2732
+ The Panther took pie-crust, and gravy, and 🥓,
2733
+ While the 🦉 had the 📡 as its share of the treat.
2734
+ When the pie was all finished, the 🦉, as a boon,
2735
+ Was kindly permitted to pocket the 🥄:
2736
+ While the Panther received 🗡 and 🍴 with a growl,
2737
+ And concluded the banquet--]
2738
+
2739
+ 'What IS the 🇻🇮 of 🔁 all that stuff,' the Mock 🐢
2740
+ interrupted, 'if you don't explain it as you go on? It's by far the most
2741
+ confusing thing I ever 🇭🇲!'
2742
+
2743
+ 'Yes, I think you'd better leave 📴,' said the Gryphon: and Alice was
2744
+ only too glad to do so.
2745
+
2746
+ 'Shall we try another figure of the Lobster Quadrille?' the Gryphon went
2747
+ on. 'Or would you like the Mock 🐢 to sing you a song?'
2748
+
2749
+ 'Oh, a song, please, if the Mock 🐢 would be so kind,' Alice
2750
+ replied, so eagerly that the Gryphon said, in a rather offended 🏽,
2751
+ 'Hm! 🙊 accounting for tastes! Sing her "🐢 Soup," will you, 🗝
2752
+ fellow?'
2753
+
2754
+ The Mock 🐢 sighed deeply, and began, in a voice sometimes choked
2755
+ with 😭, to sing this:--
2756
+
2757
+ 'Beautiful Soup, so rich and 🍏,
2758
+ Waiting in a ♨ tureen!
2759
+ Who for such dainties would 🚯 stoop?
2760
+ Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!
2761
+ Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!
2762
+ Beau--ootiful Soo--oop!
2763
+ Beau--ootiful Soo--oop!
2764
+ Soo--oop of the e--e--evening,
2765
+ Beautiful, beautiful Soup!
2766
+
2767
+ 'Beautiful Soup! Who 💅 for 🐟,
2768
+ 🎲, or any other 📡?
2769
+ Who would 🚯 give all else for 2️⃣
2770
+ Pennyworth only of beautiful Soup?
2771
+ Pennyworth only of beautiful Soup?
2772
+ Beau--ootiful Soo--oop!
2773
+ Beau--ootiful Soo--oop!
2774
+ Soo--oop of the e--e--evening,
2775
+ Beautiful, beauti--FUL SOUP!'
2776
+
2777
+ 'Chorus again!' cried the Gryphon, and the Mock 🐢 had just begun
2778
+ to 🔁 it, when a 😿 of 'The trial's beginning!' was 🇭🇲 in the
2779
+ distance.
2780
+
2781
+ 'Come on!' cried the Gryphon, and, taking Alice by the ✌, it hurried
2782
+ 📴, without waiting for the 🔚 of the song.
2783
+
2784
+ 'What trial is it?' Alice panted as she ran; but the Gryphon only
2785
+ answered 'Come on!' and ran the faster, while more and more faintly
2786
+ came, carried on the breeze that followed them, the melancholy words:--
2787
+
2788
+ 'Soo--oop of the e--e--evening,
2789
+ Beautiful, beautiful Soup!'
2790
+
2791

2793
+
2794
+ CHAPTER XI. Who Stole the Tarts?
2795
+
2796
+ The 👑 and 👑 of 💌 were 💺 on their throne when they
2797
+ arrived, with a great crowd assembled about them--all sorts of little
2798
+ 🐦 and beasts, as well as the whole pack of ♣: the Knave was
2799
+ standing before them, in ⛓, with a soldier on each side to 💂
2800
+ him; and near the 👑 was the White 🐇, with a 🎺 in 1️⃣ ✌,
2801
+ and a 📜 of parchment in the other. In the very middle of the court
2802
+ was a table, with a large 📡 of tarts upon it: they looked so good,
2803
+ that it made Alice quite hungry to look at them--'I wish they'd get the
2804
+ trial done,' she 💭, 'and ✌ round the refreshments!' But there
2805
+ seemed to be 🙊 chance of this, so she began looking at everything about
2806
+ her, to pass away the time.
2807
+
2808
+ Alice had never been in a court of ♎ before, but she had read
2809
+ about them in 📚, and she was quite pleased to find that she knew
2810
+ the Brow. of nearly everything there. 'That's the judge,' she said to
2811
+ herself, 'because of his great wig.'
2812
+
2813
+ The judge, by the way, was the 👑; and as he wore his 👑 over the
2814
+ wig, (look at the frontispiece if you want to 🙈 how he did it,) he did
2815
+ 🚯 look at all comfortable, and it was certainly 🚯 becoming.
2816
+
2817
+ 'And that's the jury-🗳,' 💭 Alice, 'and those 🕧 creatures,'
2818
+ (she was obliged to say 'creatures,' you 🙈, because some of them were
2819
+ animals, and some were 🐦,) 'I suppose they are the jurors.' She said
2820
+ this last word 2️⃣ or 🔊 times over to herself, being rather proud of
2821
+ it: for she 💭, and rightly too, that very few little 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 of her
2822
+ age knew the meaning of it at all. However, 'jury-men' would have done
2823
+ just as well.
2824
+
2825
+ The 🕧 jurors were all ✍ very busily on slates. 'What are they
2826
+ doing?' Alice whispered to the Gryphon. 'They can't have anything to put
2827
+ 📩 yet, before the trial's begun.'
2828
+
2829
+ 'They're putting 📩 their 📛,' the Gryphon whispered in reply, 'for
2830
+ 😱 they should forget them before the 🔚 of the trial.'
2831
+
2832
+ 'Stupid things!' Alice began in a 📢, indignant voice, but she ⏹
2833
+ hastily, for the White 🐇 cried out, 'Silence in the court!' and the
2834
+ 👑 put on his spectacles and looked anxiously round, to make out who
2835
+ was talking.
2836
+
2837
+ Alice could 🙈, as well as if she were looking over their shoulders,
2838
+ that all the jurors were ✍ 📩 'stupid things!' on their slates,
2839
+ and she could even make out that 1️⃣ of them didn't know how to spell
2840
+ 'stupid,' and that he had to 🙏 his neighbour to tell him. 'A nice
2841
+ muddle their slates'll be in before the trial's over!' 💭 Alice.
2842
+
2843
+ 1️⃣ of the jurors had a ✏ that squeaked. This of course, Alice
2844
+ could 🚯 stand, and she went round the court and got behind him, and
2845
+ very 🔜 found an opportunity of taking it away. She did it so quickly
2846
+ that the poor little juror (it was 💶, the 🦎) could 🚯 make out
2847
+ at all what had become of it; so, after hunting all about for it, he was
2848
+ obliged to ✍ with 1️⃣ 🤘 for the rest of the day; and this was
2849
+ of very little 🇺🇲, as it ◀ 🙊 ❗ on the slate.
2850
+
2851
+ 'Herald, read the accusation!' said the 👑.
2852
+
2853
+ On this the White 🐇 blew 🔊 blasts on the 🎺, and then
2854
+ unrolled the parchment 📜, and read as follows:--
2855
+
2856
+ 'The 👑 of 💗, she made some tarts,
2857
+ All on a summer day:
2858
+ The Knave of ♥, he stole those tarts,
2859
+ And took them quite away!'
2860
+
2861
+ 'Consider your verdict,' the 👑 said to the jury.
2862
+
2863
+ '🚯 yet, 🚯 yet!' the 🐇 hastily interrupted. 'There's a great
2864
+ deal to come before that!'
2865
+
2866
+ '📲 the 🥇 witness,' said the 👑; and the White 🐇 blew 🔊
2867
+ blasts on the 🎺, and 📲 out, '🥇 witness!'
2868
+
2869
+ The 🥇 witness was the Hatter. He came in with a 🍵 in 1️⃣
2870
+ ✌ and a piece of 🍞-and-butter in the other. 'I beg pardon, your
2871
+ Majesty,' he began, 'for bringing these in: but I hadn't quite finished
2872
+ my 🍵 when I was 📤 for.'
2873
+
2874
+ 'You ought to have finished,' said the 👑. 'When did you begin?'
2875
+
2876
+ The Hatter looked at the March Hare, who had followed him into the
2877
+ court, arm-in-arm with the Dormouse. 'Fourteenth of March, I think it
2878
+ was,' he said.
2879
+
2880
+ 'Fifteenth,' said the March Hare.
2881
+
2882
+ 'Sixteenth,' added the Dormouse.
2883
+
2884
+ '✍ that 📩,' the 👑 said to the jury, and the jury eagerly
2885
+ wrote 📩 all 🔊 📅 on their slates, and then added them 🆙, and
2886
+ reduced the answer to shillings and pence.
2887
+
2888
+ 'Take 📴 your 👷,' the 👑 said to the Hatter.
2889
+
2890
+ 'It isn't mine,' said the Hatter.
2891
+
2892
+ 'Stolen!' the 👑 exclaimed, turning to the jury, who instantly made a
2893
+ memorandum of the fact.
2894
+
2895
+ 'I keep them to sell,' the Hatter added as an explanation; 'I've none of
2896
+ my own. I'm a hatter.'
2897
+
2898
+ Here the 👑 put on her spectacles, and began staring at the Hatter,
2899
+ who turned pale and fidgeted.
2900
+
2901
+ 'Give your evidence,' said the 👑; 'and don't be nervous, or I'll have
2902
+ you executed on the spot.'
2903
+
2904
+ This did 🚯 seem to encourage the witness at all: he kept shifting
2905
+ from 1️⃣ foot to the other, looking uneasily at the 👑, and in
2906
+ his confusion he bit a large piece out of his 🍵 instead of the
2907
+ 🍞-and-butter.
2908
+
2909
+ Just at this moment Alice felt a very curious sensation, which puzzled
2910
+ her a good deal until she made out what it was: she was beginning to
2911
+ grow larger again, and she 💭 at 🥇 she would get 🆙 and leave
2912
+ the court; but on 🥈 💭 she decided to remain where she was as
2913
+ long as there was room for her.
2914
+
2915
+ 'I wish you wouldn't squeeze so.' said the Dormouse, who was sitting
2916
+ next to her. 'I can hardly breathe.'
2917
+
2918
+ 'I can't 🆘 it,' said Alice very meekly: 'I'm growing.'
2919
+
2920
+ 'You've 🙊 ⏯ to grow here,' said the Dormouse.
2921
+
2922
+ 'Don't talk nonsense,' said Alice more boldly: 'you know you're growing
2923
+ too.'
2924
+
2925
+ 'Yes, but I grow at a reasonable pace,' said the Dormouse: '🚯 in that
2926
+ ridiculous fashion.' And he got 🆙 very sulkily and 🎌 over to the
2927
+ other side of the court.
2928
+
2929
+ All this time the 👑 had never ◀ 📴 staring at the Hatter, and,
2930
+ just as the Dormouse 🎌 the court, she said to 1️⃣ of the officers
2931
+ of the court, 'Bring me the list of the singers in the last concert!' on
2932
+ which the wretched Hatter trembled so, that he shook both his 👡 📴.
2933
+
2934
+ 'Give your evidence,' the 👑 🔁 angrily, 'or I'll have you
2935
+ executed, whether you're nervous or 🚯.'
2936
+
2937
+ 'I'm a poor 👨, your Majesty,' the Hatter began, in a trembling voice,
2938
+ '--and I hadn't begun my 🍵--🚯 above a week or so--and what with the
2939
+ 🍞-and-butter getting so thin--and the twinkling of the 🍵--'
2940
+
2941
+ 'The twinkling of the what?' said the 👑.
2942
+
2943
+ 'It began with the 🍵,' the Hatter replied.
2944
+
2945
+ 'Of course twinkling begins with a T!' said the 👑 sharply. 'Do you
2946
+ take me for a dunce? Go on!'
2947
+
2948
+ 'I'm a poor 👨,' the Hatter went on, 'and most things twinkled after
2949
+ that--only the March Hare said--'
2950
+
2951
+ 'I didn't!' the March Hare interrupted in a great hurry.
2952
+
2953
+ 'You did!' said the Hatter.
2954
+
2955
+ 'I deny it!' said the March Hare.
2956
+
2957
+ 'He denies it,' said the 👑: 'leave out that 〽.'
2958
+
2959
+ 'Well, at any rate, the Dormouse said--' the Hatter went on, looking
2960
+ anxiously round to 🙈 if he would deny it too: but the Dormouse denied
2961
+ nothing, being ⏩ asleep.
2962
+
2963
+ 'After that,' continued the Hatter, 'I cut some more 🍞-and-butter--'
2964
+
2965
+ 'But what did the Dormouse say?' 1️⃣ of the jury 🙏.
2966
+
2967
+ 'That I can't remember,' said the Hatter.
2968
+
2969
+ 'You MUST remember,' remarked the 👑, 'or I'll have you executed.'
2970
+
2971
+ The miserable Hatter 💧 his 🍵 and 🍞-and-butter, and went
2972
+ 📩 on 1️⃣ knee. 'I'm a poor 👨, your Majesty,' he began.
2973
+
2974
+ 'You're a very poor 🔈,' said the 👑.
2975
+
2976
+ Here 1️⃣ of the 🇵🇬-🐷 cheered, and was immediately suppressed by
2977
+ the officers of the court. (As that is rather a hard word, I will just
2978
+ explain to you how it was done. They had a large canvas 🛍, which tied
2979
+ 🆙 at the 👄 with strings: into this they slipped the 🇵🇬-🐖,
2980
+ 🗣 🥇, and then sat upon it.)
2981
+
2982
+ 'I'm glad I've seen that done,' 💭 Alice. 'I've so often read
2983
+ in the newspapers, at the 🔚 of trials, "There was some attempts
2984
+ at applause, which was immediately suppressed by the officers of the
2985
+ court," and I never understood what it meant till now.'
2986
+
2987
+ 'If that's all you know about it, you may stand 📩,' continued the
2988
+ 👑.
2989
+
2990
+ 'I can't go 🙊 lower,' said the Hatter: 'I'm on the 🤣, as it is.'
2991
+
2992
+ 'Then you may SIT 📩,' the 👑 replied.
2993
+
2994
+ Here the other 🇵🇬-🐖 cheered, and was suppressed.
2995
+
2996
+ 'Come, that finished the 🇵🇬-🐖!' 💭 Alice. 'Now we shall get
2997
+ on better.'
2998
+
2999
+ 'I'd rather finish my 🍵,' said the Hatter, with an anxious look at the
3000
+ 👑, who was reading the list of singers.
3001
+
3002
+ 'You may go,' said the 👑, and the Hatter hurriedly ◀ the court,
3003
+ without even waiting to put his 👟 on.
3004
+
3005
+ '--and just take his 🗣 📴 outside,' the 👑 added to 1️⃣ of the
3006
+ officers: but the Hatter was out of sight before the officer could get
3007
+ to the 🚪.
3008
+
3009
+ '📲 the next witness!' said the 👑.
3010
+
3011
+ The next witness was the Duchess's 🇨🇰. She carried the 🌶-🗳 in
3012
+ her ✌, and Alice guessed who it was, even before she got into the
3013
+ court, by the way the people near the 🚪 began sneezing all at once.
3014
+
3015
+ 'Give your evidence,' said the 👑.
3016
+
3017
+ 'Shan't,' said the 🇨🇰.
3018
+
3019
+ The 👑 looked anxiously at the White 🐇, who said in a 🔅 voice,
3020
+ 'Your Majesty must ⛑-examine THIS witness.'
3021
+
3022
+ 'Well, if I must, I must,' the 👑 said, with a melancholy air, and,
3023
+ after folding his arms and 😦 at the 🇨🇰 till his 👀 were
3024
+ nearly out of sight, he said in a deep voice, 'What are tarts made of?'
3025
+
3026
+ '🌶, mostly,' said the 🇨🇰.
3027
+
3028
+ 'Treacle,' said a sleepy voice behind her.
3029
+
3030
+ 'Collar that Dormouse,' the 👑 shrieked out. 'Behead that Dormouse!
3031
+ Turn that Dormouse out of court! Suppress him! Pinch him! 📴 with his
3032
+ whiskers!'
3033
+
3034
+ For some minutes the whole court was in confusion, getting the Dormouse
3035
+ turned out, and, by the time they had settled 📩 again, the 🇨🇰 had
3036
+ disappeared.
3037
+
3038
+ 'Never mind!' said the 👑, with an air of great relief. '📲 the next
3039
+ witness.' And he added in an undertone to the 👑, 'Really, my dear,
3040
+ YOU must ⛑-examine the next witness. It quite makes my forehead
3041
+ ache!'
3042
+
3043
+ Alice ⌚ the White 🐇 as he fumbled over the list, feeling very
3044
+ curious to 🙈 what the next witness would be like, '--for they haven't
3045
+ got much evidence YET,' she said to herself. Imagine her surprise, when
3046
+ the White 🐇 read out, at the 🔝 of his shrill little voice, the
3047
+ Brow. 'Alice!'
3048
+
3049
+
3050
+
3051
+
3052
+ CHAPTER XII. Alice's Evidence
3053
+
3054
+
3055
+ 'Here!' cried Alice, quite forgetting in the flurry of the moment how
3056
+ large she had grown in the last few minutes, and she jumped 🆙 in such
3057
+ a hurry that she tipped over the jury-🗳 with the edge of her skirt,
3058
+ upsetting all the jurymen on to the 🗣 of the crowd below, and there
3059
+ they lay sprawling about, reminding her very much of a 🌐 of goldfish
3060
+ she had accidentally upset the week before.
3061
+
3062
+ 'Oh, I BEG your pardon!' she exclaimed in a 🏽 of great dismay, and
3063
+ began ⛏ them 🆙 again as quickly as she could, for the accident of
3064
+ the goldfish kept 💨 in her 🗣, and she had a vague sort of 💡
3065
+ that they must be collected at once and put 🔙 into the jury-🗳, or
3066
+ they would 🎲.
3067
+
3068
+ 'The trial cannot proceed,' said the 👑 in a very grave voice, 'until
3069
+ all the jurymen are 🔙 in their proper places--ALL,' he 🔁 with
3070
+ great emphasis, looking hard at Alice as he said do.
3071
+
3072
+ Alice looked at the jury-🗳, and saw that, in her haste, she had put
3073
+ the 🦎 in 🗣 downwards, and the poor little thing was 🏴 its
3074
+ tail about in a melancholy way, being quite unable to move. She 🔜 got
3075
+ it out again, and put it ⏯; '🚯 that it signifies much,' she said
3076
+ to herself; 'I should think it would be QUITE as much 🇻🇮 in the trial
3077
+ 1️⃣ way 🆙 as the other.'
3078
+
3079
+ As 🔜 as the jury had a little recovered from the shock of being
3080
+ upset, and their slates and 📝 had been found and 👉 🔙 to
3081
+ them, they 📐 to work very diligently to ✍ out a history of the
3082
+ accident, all except the 🦎, who seemed too much overcome to do
3083
+ anything but sit with its 👄 📬, gazing 🆙 into the roof of the
3084
+ court.
3085
+
3086
+ 'What do you know about this business?' the 👑 said to Alice.
3087
+
3088
+ 'Nothing,' said Alice.
3089
+
3090
+ 'Nothing WHATEVER?' persisted the 👑.
3091
+
3092
+ 'Nothing whatever,' said Alice.
3093
+
3094
+ 'That's very important,' the 👑 said, turning to the jury. They were
3095
+ just beginning to ✍ this 📩 on their slates, when the White 🐇
3096
+ interrupted: 'UNimportant, your Majesty means, of course,' he said in a
3097
+ very respectful 🏽, but ☹ and making 🐻 at him as he spoke.
3098
+
3099
+ 'UNimportant, of course, I meant,' the 👑 hastily said, and went on
3100
+ to himself in an undertone,
3101
+
3102
+ 'important--unimportant--unimportant--important--' as if he were trying
3103
+ which word sounded best.
3104
+
3105
+ Some of the jury wrote it 📩 'important,' and some 'unimportant.'
3106
+ Alice could 🙈 this, as she was near enough to look over their slates;
3107
+ 'but it doesn't matter a bit,' she 💭 to herself.
3108
+
3109
+ At this moment the 👑, who had been for some time busily ✍ in
3110
+ his 💴-📗, cackled out 'Silence!' and read out from his 📗, 'Rule
3111
+ Forty-2️⃣. ALL PERSONS MORE THAN A MILE 🔊 TO LEAVE THE COURT.'
3112
+
3113
+ Everybody looked at Alice.
3114
+
3115
+ 'I'M 🚯 a mile 🔊,' said Alice.
3116
+
3117
+ 'You are,' said the 👑.
3118
+
3119
+ 'Nearly 2️⃣ miles 🔊,' added the 👑.
3120
+
3121
+ 'Well, I shan't go, at any rate,' said Alice: 'besides, that's 🚯 a
3122
+ regular rule: you invented it just now.'
3123
+
3124
+ 'It's the oldest rule in the 📗,' said the 👑.
3125
+
3126
+ 'Then it ought to be Number 1️⃣,' said Alice.
3127
+
3128
+ The 👑 turned pale, and shut his 💴-📗 hastily. 'Consider your
3129
+ verdict,' he said to the jury, in a 🔅, trembling voice.
3130
+
3131
+ 'There's more evidence to come yet, please your Majesty,' said the White
3132
+ 🐇, jumping 🆙 in a great hurry; 'this 🗞 has just been ⛏
3133
+ 🆙.'
3134
+
3135
+ 'What's in it?' said the 👑.
3136
+
3137
+ 'I haven't 😄 it yet,' said the White 🐇, 'but it seems to be a
3138
+ 📨, written by the prisoner to--to somebody.'
3139
+
3140
+ 'It must have been that,' said the 👑, 'unless it was written to
3141
+ nobody, which isn't usual, you know.'
3142
+
3143
+ 'Who is it directed to?' said 1️⃣ of the jurymen.
3144
+
3145
+ 'It isn't directed at all,' said the White 🐇; 'in fact, there's
3146
+ nothing written on the OUTSIDE.' He unfolded the 🗞 as he spoke, and
3147
+ added 'It isn't a 📨, after all: it's a 📐 of verses.'
3148
+
3149
+ 'Are they in the prisoner's handwriting?' 🙏 another of the jurymen.
3150
+
3151
+ '🙊, they're 🚯,' said the White 🐇, 'and that's the queerest thing
3152
+ about it.' (The jury all looked puzzled.)
3153
+
3154
+ 'He must have imitated somebody else's ✌,' said the 👑. (The jury
3155
+ all brightened 🆙 again.)
3156
+
3157
+ 'Please your Majesty,' said the Knave, 'I didn't ✍ it, and they
3158
+ can't prove I did: there's 🙊 Brow. signed at the 🔚.'
3159
+
3160
+ 'If you didn't sign it,' said the 👑, 'that only makes the matter
3161
+ worse. You MUST have meant some mischief, or else you'd have signed your
3162
+ Brow. like an honest 👨.'
3163
+
3164
+ There was a general 👏 of 🤙 at this: it was the 🥇 really
3165
+ clever thing the 👑 had said that day.
3166
+
3167
+ 'That PROVES his guilt,' said the 👑.
3168
+
3169
+ 'It proves nothing of the sort!' said Alice. 'Why, you don't even know
3170
+ what they're about!'
3171
+
3172
+ 'Read them,' said the 👑.
3173
+
3174
+ The White 🐇 put on his spectacles. 'Where shall I begin, please
3175
+ your Majesty?' he 🙏.
3176
+
3177
+ 'Begin at the beginning,' the 👑 said gravely, 'and go on till you
3178
+ come to the 🔚: then ⏹.'
3179
+
3180
+ These were the verses the White 🐇 read:--
3181
+
3182
+ 'They told me you had been to her,
3183
+ And mentioned me to him:
3184
+ She gave me a good character,
3185
+ But said I could 🚯 🏊.
3186
+
3187
+ He 📤 them word I had 🚯 gone
3188
+ (We know it to be true):
3189
+ If she should push the matter on,
3190
+ What would become of you?
3191
+
3192
+ I gave her 1️⃣, they gave him 2️⃣,
3193
+ You gave us 🔊 or more;
3194
+ They all returned from him to you,
3195
+ Though they were mine before.
3196
+
3197
+ If I or she should chance to be
3198
+ Involved in this affair,
3199
+ He trusts to you to 📐 them 🆓,
3200
+ Exactly as we were.
3201
+
3202
+ My notion was that you had been
3203
+ (Before she had this fit)
3204
+ An obstacle that came between
3205
+ Him, and ourselves, and it.
3206
+
3207
+ Don't let him know she liked them best,
3208
+ For this must ever be
3209
+ A ㊙, kept from all the rest,
3210
+ Between yourself and me.'
3211
+
3212
+ 'That's the most important piece of evidence we've 🇭🇲 yet,' said the
3213
+ 👑, rubbing his 👐; 'so now let the jury--'
3214
+
3215
+ 'If any 1️⃣ of them can explain it,' said Alice, (she had grown so large
3216
+ in the last few minutes that she wasn't a bit afraid of interrupting
3217
+ him,) 'I'll give him sixpence. _I_ don't believe there's an ⚛ of
3218
+ meaning in it.'
3219
+
3220
+ The jury all wrote 📩 on their slates, 'SHE doesn't believe there's an
3221
+ ⚛ of meaning in it,' but none of them attempted to explain the 🗞.
3222
+
3223
+ 'If there's 🙊 meaning in it,' said the 👑, 'that saves a 🌏 of
3224
+ trouble, you know, as we needn't try to find any. And yet I don't know,'
3225
+ he went on, spreading out the verses on his knee, and looking at them
3226
+ with 1️⃣ 👁; 'I seem to 🙈 some meaning in them, after all. "--SAID
3227
+ I COULD 🚯 🏊--" you can't 🏊, can you?' he added, turning to the
3228
+ Knave.
3229
+
3230
+ The Knave shook his 🗣 sadly. 'Do I look like it?' he said. (Which he
3231
+ certainly did 🚯, being made entirely of cardboard.)
3232
+
3233
+ 'All ⏯, so far,' said the 👑, and he went on muttering over
3234
+ the verses to himself: '"WE KNOW IT TO BE TRUE--" that's the jury, of
3235
+ course--"I GAVE HER 1️⃣, THEY GAVE HIM 2️⃣--" why, that must be what he
3236
+ did with the tarts, you know--'
3237
+
3238
+ 'But, it goes on "THEY ALL RETURNED FROM HIM TO YOU,"' said Alice.
3239
+
3240
+ 'Why, there they are!' said the 👑 triumphantly, 👉 to the tarts
3241
+ on the table. 'Nothing can be clearer than THAT. Then again--"BEFORE SHE
3242
+ HAD THIS FIT--" you never had fits, my dear, I think?' he said to the
3243
+ 👑.
3244
+
3245
+ 'Never!' said the 👑 furiously, throwing an inkstand at the 🦎
3246
+ as she spoke. (The unfortunate little 💶 had ◀ 📴 ✍ on his
3247
+ slate with 1️⃣ 🤘, as he found it made 🙊 ❗; but he now hastily
3248
+ began again, 🇻🇮 the 🔏, that was trickling 📩 his 😡, as long as
3249
+ it lasted.)
3250
+
3251
+ 'Then the words don't FIT you,' said the 👑, looking round the court
3252
+ with a 😆. There was a dead silence.
3253
+
3254
+ 'It's a pun!' the 👑 added in an offended 🏽, and everybody 😂,
3255
+ 'Let the jury consider their verdict,' the 👑 said, for about the
3256
+ twentieth time that day.
3257
+
3258
+ '🙊, 🙊!' said the 👑. 'Sentence 🥇--verdict afterwards.'
3259
+
3260
+ 'Stuff and nonsense!' said Alice loudly. 'The 💡 of having the
3261
+ sentence 🥇!'
3262
+
3263
+ '👬 your 👅!' said the 👑, turning purple.
3264
+
3265
+ 'I 😤't!' said Alice.
3266
+
3267
+ '📴 with her 🗣!' the 👑 shouted at the 🔝 of her voice. Nobody
3268
+ moved.
3269
+
3270
+ 'Who 💅 for you?' said Alice, (she had grown to her 🌝 size by this
3271
+ time.) 'You're nothing but a pack of 📇!'
3272
+
3273
+ At this the whole pack 🌹 🆙 into the air, and came 🕊 📩 upon
3274
+ her: she gave a little 😱, half of fright and half of anger, and
3275
+ tried to beat them 📴, and found herself lying on the 🏦, with her
3276
+ 🗣 in the lap of her sister, who was gently brushing away some dead
3277
+ leaves that had 🍃 📩 from the 🎋 upon her 😡.
3278
+
3279
+ 'Wake 🆙, Alice dear!' said her sister; 'Why, what a long 😴 you've
3280
+ had!'
3281
+
3282
+ 'Oh, I've had such a curious dream!' said Alice, and she told her
3283
+ sister, as well as she could remember them, all these strange Adventures
3284
+ of hers that you have just been reading about; and when she had
3285
+ finished, her sister 😽 her, and said, 'It WAS a curious dream,
3286
+ dear, certainly: but now run in to your 🍵; it's getting late.' So
3287
+ Alice got 🆙 and ran 📴, thinking while she ran, as well she might,
3288
+ what a wonderful dream it had been.
3289
+
3290
+ But her sister sat still just as she ◀ her, leaning her 🗣 on her
3291
+ ✌, ⌚ the 📐 🌇, and thinking of little Alice and all her
3292
+ wonderful Adventures, till she too began dreaming after a fashion, and
3293
+ this was her dream:--
3294
+
3295
+ 🥇, she dreamed of little Alice herself, and once again the tiny
3296
+ 👋 were clasped upon her knee, and the 🌞 eager 👀 were looking
3297
+ 🆙 into hers--she could 🙉 the very 🏾 of her voice, and 🙈 that
3298
+ queer little toss of her 🗣 to keep 🔙 the wandering hair that
3299
+ WOULD always get into her 👀--and still as she listened, or seemed to
3300
+ listen, the whole place around her became alive with the strange creatures
3301
+ of her little sister's dream.
3302
+
3303
+ The long grass rustled at her 🐾 as the White 🐇 hurried by--the
3304
+ frightened 🐁 splashed his way through the neighbouring pool--she
3305
+ could 🙉 the rattle of the 🍵 as the March Hare and his friends
3306
+ shared their never-🔚 meal, and the shrill voice of the 👑
3307
+ ordering 📴 her unfortunate guests to execution--once more the 🐖-👶
3308
+ was sneezing on the Duchess's knee, while 🍽 and 📡 crashed
3309
+ around it--once more the shriek of the Gryphon, the squeaking of the
3310
+ 🦎's slate-✏, and the choking of the suppressed 🇵🇬-🐷,
3311
+ filled the air, mixed 🆙 with the distant 😭 of the miserable Mock
3312
+ 🐢.
3313
+
3314
+ So she sat on, with 📕 👀, and half believed herself in
3315
+ Wonderland, though she knew she had but to 📬 them again, and all
3316
+ would change to dull reality--the grass would be only rustling in the
3317
+ 🎐, and the pool rippling to the 🏴 of the reeds--the rattling
3318
+ 🍵 would change to tinkling 🐑-🛎, and the 👑's shrill
3319
+ cries to the voice of the shepherd 👦--and the sneeze of the 👶, the
3320
+ shriek of the Gryphon, and all the other queer noises, would change (she
3321
+ knew) to the confused clamour of the busy farm-yard--while the 🔅
3322
+ of the cattle in the distance would take the place of the Mock 🐢's
3323
+ heavy 😭.
3324
+
3325
+ Lastly, she pictured to herself how this same little sister of hers
3326
+ would, in the after-time, be herself a grown 👩; and how she would
3327
+ keep, through all her riper years, the simple and 🏩 💔 of her
3328
+ childhood: and how she would gather about her other little children, and
3329
+ make THEIR 👀 🌞 and eager with many a strange tale, perhaps even
3330
+ with the dream of Wonderland of long ago: and how she would feel with
3331
+ all their simple sorrows, and find a pleasure in all their simple joys,
3332
+ remembering her own 🚸-life, and the happy summer days.
