At the next peg the Queen turned again, and this time she said, ‘Speak in French   when you can’t think of the English for a thing – turn out your toes as you walk – and remember who you are!   she did not wait for Alice to curtsey this time, but walked on […]

This time it was a White Knight. He drew up at Alice’s side, and tumbled off his horse   just as the Red Knight had done: then he got on again, and the two Knights sat and looked at each other   for some time without speaking. Alice looked from one to the other in […]

Do you think it’s going to rain?’ Tweedledum spread a large umbrella over himself and his brother,   and looked up into it. ‘No, I don’t think it is,’ he said: ‘at least – not under here. Nohow.’     An entire family. – a married couple and. Their two young sons – Have been […]

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 […]

Alice thought to herself, ‘Then there’s no use in speaking.’ The voices didn’t join in this time, as she hadn’t spoken,   but, to her great surprise, they all thought in chorus (I hope you understand what thinking in chorus means   – for I must confess that I don’t), ‘Better say nothing at all.
