tone. 🔊 ‘Nobody seems to like her, down here, and I’m sure she’s the best

any more!’ 🔊 And here poor Alice began to cry again, for she felt very

lonely and low-spirited. 🔊 In a little while, however, she again heard

a little pattering of footsteps in the distance, 🔊 and she looked up

eagerly, half hoping that the Mouse had changed his mind, and was coming

back to finish his story. 🔊
