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 reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in
|
||
|
|
it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or
|
||
|
|
conversation?"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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 remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so
|
||
|
|
VERY much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, "Oh dear!
|
||
|
|
Oh dear! I shall be late!" (when she thought it over afterwards, it
|
||
|
|
occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time
|
||
|
|
it all seemed quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually TOOK A WATCH
|
||
|
|
OUT OF ITS WAISTCOAT-POCKET, and looked at it, and then hurried on,
|
||
|
|
Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had
|
||
|
|
never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch
|
||
|
|
to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field
|
||
|
|
after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large
|
||
|
|
rabbit-hole under the hedge.
