“Who are you?” said the Caterpillar.

This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation.

Alice replied, rather shyly, “I–I hardly know, Sir, just at present–at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.”

“What do you mean by that?” said the Caterpillar, sternly.

“Explain, yourself!”

“I can’t explain myself, I’m afraid, Sir,” said Alice, “because I’m not myself, you see.”

“And ever since that,” Hatter went on “Yes, that’s it,” said Hatter with a sigh: in a mournful tone, “he won’t do a “It’s always tea-time, and we’ve no time thing I ask! It’s always six o’clock now.” to wash the things between whiles.”

A bright idea came into Alice’s head.

“Then you keep moving round I “Is that the reason so many tea-things suppose?” said Alice. are put out here?” she asked.

“Exactly so,” said Hatter: “as the things get used up.”

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”

“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat.

“I don’t much care where –” said Alice.

“Oh, you’re sure to do that,” said the Cat, “if you only walk long enough.”

“– so long as I get somewhere,” Alice added as an explanation.

“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat.

“What sort of people live about here?”

“In that drection,” the Cat said, waving its right paw around, “lives a Hatter: and in that direction,” waving the other paw, “lives a March Hare. Visit either you like: they’re both mad.”

“But I don’t want to go amoung mad people,” Alice remarked. “Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat:

“I’m mad. You’re mad.”

“How do you know I’m mad? said Alice.” You must be,”said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.”

“What’s your name, child?”

“My name is Alice, so please your Majesty,” said Alice very politely; but she added, to herself, “Why, they’re only a pack of cards, after all.

I needn’t be afraid of them!”

“And who are these?” said the Queen, pointing to the three gardeners who were lying round the rose-tree; for, you see, as they were lying on their faces, and the pattern on their backs was the same as the rest of the pack,

she could not tell whether they were gardeners, or soldiers, or courtiers, or three of her own children.

“How should I know?” said Alice, surprised at her own courage. “It’s no business of mine.”

The Queen turned crimson with fury, and, after glaring at her for a moment like a wild beast, began screaming “Off with her head! Off with–” “Nonsense!” said Alice, very loudly and decidedly, and the Queen was silent.

‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. “beware the Jabberwock, my son!

The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!”

He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought– So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffing through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two!

And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!

He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back.

“And has thou slain the Jabberwock?

Come to my arms, my beamish boy!

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”

He chorted in his joy.

‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.
