Chapter to.
Down the Rabbit–Hole
Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by hersister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: onceor twice she had peeped into the book her sister wasreading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, ‘and what is the use of a book,’ thought Alice ‘withoutpictures or conversation?’
So she was considering in her own mind (as well asshe could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepyand stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy–chain would be worth the trouble of getting up andpicking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbitwith pink eyes ran close by her.
There was nothing so VERY remarkable in that; nordid Alice think it so VERY much out of the way to hearthe Rabbit say to itself,
‘Oh dear!
Oh dear!
Oh dear!
I shall be late!’ (when she thought it over afterwards, itoccurred to her that she ought to have wondered atthis, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); butwhen the Rabbit actually TOOK A WATCH OUT OF ITSWAISTCOAT–POCKET, and looked at it, and thenhurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashedacross her mind that she had never before seen arabbit with either a waistcoat–pocket, or a watch totake out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ranacross the field after it, and fortunately was just intime to see it pop down a large rabbit–hole under thehedge.
In another moment down went Alice after it, neveronce considering how in the world she was to get outagain.
The rabbit–hole went straight on like a tunnel forsome way, and then dipped suddenly down, sosuddenly that Alice had not a moment to think aboutstopping herself before she found herself fallingdown a very deep well.
Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down to lookabout her and to wonder what was going to happennext.
