After a while the noise seemed gradually to die away, till all was dead silence,   and Alice lifted up her head in some alarm. There was no one to be seen, and her first thought was that   she must have been dreaming about the Lion and the Unicorn and those queer Anglo-Saxon Messengers. […]

Here she checked herself in some alarm, at hearing something that sounded to her   like the puffing of a large steam-engine in the wood near them, though she feared   it was more likely to be a wild beast. ‘Are there any lions or tigers about here?’ she asked timidly.   ‘It’s only the […]

‘Hush-a-by lady, in Alice’s lap! Till the feast’s ready, we’ve time for a nap;   When the feast’s over, we’ll go to the ball – Red Queen, and White Queen, and Alice, and all!     By day. Kyiv can often feel. Far from the front line. Far from the front line.   But at […]

So she brushed away her tears, and went on as cheerfully as she could, ‘At any rate   I’d better be getting out of the wood, for really it’s coming on very dark.   Do you think it’s going to rain?’ Tweedledum spread a large umbrella over himself and his brother,   and looked up […]

‘Kitty, can you play chess? Now, don’t smile, my dear, I’m asking it seriously. Because, when we were playing just now,   you watched just as if you understood it: and when I said “Check!” you purred!   Well, it was a nice check, Kitty, and really I might have won, if it hadn’t been […]

‘Why do you sit out here all alone?’ said Alice, not wishing to begin an argument.   ‘Why, because there’s nobody with me!’ cried Humpty Dumpty. ‘Did you think I didn’t know the answer to that? Ask another.’   ‘Don’t you think you’d be safer Down on the ground?’ Alice went on, not with any […]
