ALICE IN WONDERLAND CHAPTER I.

12 pt/14.5 pt

ALICE was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was read ing, but it had no picturwes or conversations in it, “and what is the use of a book,” thought Alice, “without pictures or conversa- tions?” So she was considering in her own mind, (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid,) whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a white rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.There was nothing so very remark able in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, “Oh dear!

How brave they ’ll all think me at home! Why, I wouldn’t say anything about it, even if I fell off the top of the house!” (Which was very likely true.)

Alice had not the slight est idea what Latitude was, or Long itude either, but she thought they were nice grand words to say. Presently she b egan again. “I won der if I shall fall right through the earth! How funny it’ll seem to come out among the peo ple that walk with their heads downwards! The An tipathies, I think” (she was rath er glad there was no one lis ten ing, this time, as it didn’t sound at all the right word) “but I shall
