CHAPTER IX. The Mock Turtle’s Story

 
Alice did not much like keeping so close to her: first, because the Duchess was VERY ugly

‘You can’t think how glad I am to see you again, you dear old thing!’ said the Duchess, as she tucked her arm affectionately into Alice’s, and they walked off together. Alice was very glad to find her in such a pleasant temper, and thought to herself that perhaps it was only the pepper that [...]

CHAPTER X. The Lobster Quadrille

 
As a duck with its eyelids, so he with his nose Trims his belt and his buttons, and turns out his toes.

The Mock Turtle sighed deeply, and drew the back of one flapper across his eyes. He looked at Alice, and tried to speak, but for a minute or two sobs choked his voice. ‘Same as if he had a bone in his throat,’ said the Gryphon: and it set to work shaking him and punching [...]

CHAPTER XI. Who Stole the Tarts?

 
On this the White Rabbit blew three blasts on the trumpet …

The King and Queen of Hearts were seated on their throne when they arrived, with a great crowd assembled about them—all sorts of little birds and beasts, as well as the whole pack of cards: the Knave was standing before them, in chains, with a soldier on each side to guard him; and near the [...]

CHAPTER XII Alice’s Evidence

 
She jumped up in such a hurry that she tipped over the jury-box with the edge of her skirt…

CHAPTER II. The Garden of Live Flowers

 
O Tiger-lily, said Alice, addressing herself to one that was waving gracefully about in the wind, «I wish you could talk!

‘I should see the garden far better,’ said Alice to herself, ‘if I could get to the top of that hill: and here’s a path that leads straight to it—at least, no, it doesn’t do that—’ (after going a few yards along the path, and turning several sharp corners), ‘but I suppose it will at [...]

CHAPTER III. Looking-Glass Insects

 
the Guard was looking at her, first through a telescope

Of course the first thing to do was to make a grand survey of the country she was going to travel through. ‘It’s something very like learning geography,’ thought Alice, as she stood on tiptoe in hopes of being able to see a little further. ‘Principal rivers—there ARE none. Principal mountains—I’m on the only one, [...]

CHAPTER IV. Tweedledum And Tweedledee

 
Alice knew which was which in a moment, because one of them had Dum embroidered on his collar, and the other Dee.

They were standing under a tree, each with an arm round the other’s neck, and Alice knew which was which in a moment, because one of them had ‘DUM’ embroidered on his collar, and the other ‘DEE.’ ‘I suppose they’ve each got “TWEEDLE” round at the back of the collar,’ she said to herself. They [...]
