I almost wish I hadn’t gone down that rabbit-hole--and yet--and

yet--it’s rather curious, you know, this sort of life! 🔊 I do wonder what

can have happened to me! 🔊 When I used to read fairy-tales, I fancied that

kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of one! 🔊

There ought to be a book written about me, that there ought! 🔊 And when I

grow up, I’ll write one--but I’m grown up now,’ she added in a sorrowful

tone; ‘at least there’s no room to grow up any more here.’ 🔊

‘But then,’ thought Alice, ‘shall I never get any older than I am

now? 🔊 That’ll be a comfort, one way--never to be an old woman--but

then--always to have lessons to learn! 🔊 Oh, I shouldn’t like that!’ 🔊

‘Oh, you foolish Alice!’ she answered herself. 🔊 ‘How can you learn

lessons in here? 🔊 Why, there’s hardly room for you, and no room at all

for any lesson-books!’ 🔊

And so she went on, taking first one side and then the other, and making

quite a conversation of it altogether; 🔊 but after a few minutes she heard

a voice outside, and stopped to listen. 🔊

‘Mary Ann! Mary Ann!’ said the voice. ‘Fetch me my gloves this moment!’ 🔊
