CHAPTER I.: Down the Rabbit-Hole
CHAPTER I.: Down the Rabbit-Hole from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. 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
Open2CHAPTER II.: The Pool of Tears
CHAPTER II.: The Pool of Tears from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. “Curiouser and curiouser!” cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English); “now I’m opening out like the largest telescope that ever was! Good-bye, feet!” (for when she looked down at her feet, they seemed to be almost out of sight, they were getting so far off). “Oh, my poor little feet, I wonder who will put on your shoes and stockings for you now, dears?
Open3CHAPTER III.: A Caucus-Race and a Long Tale

Open4CHAPTER IV.: The Rabbit Sends in a Little Bill
CHAPTER IV.: The Rabbit Sends in a Little Bill from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. It was the White Rabbit, trotting slowly back again, and looking anxiously about as it went, as if it had lost something; and she heard it muttering to itself “The Duchess! The Duchess! Oh my dear paws! Oh my fur and whiskers! She’ll get me executed, as sure as ferrets are ferrets! Where can I have dropped them, I wonder?” Alice guessed in a moment that it was looking for the fan and the pair of white kid gloves,
Open5CHAPTER V.: Advice from a Caterpillar

Open6CHAPTER VI.: Pig and Pepper
CHAPTER VI.: Pig and Pepper from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. For a minute or two she stood looking at the house, and wondering what to do next, when suddenly a footman in livery came running out of the wood—(she considered him to be a footman because he was in livery: otherwise, judging by his face only, she would have called him a fish)—and rapped loudly at the door with his knuckles. It was opened by another footman in livery, with a round face, and large eyes like a frog;
Open7CHAPTER VII.: A Mad Tea-Party
CHAPTER VII.: A Mad Tea-Party from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it: a Dormouse was sitting between them, fast asleep, and the other two were using it as a cushion, resting their elbows on it, and talking over its head. “Very uncomfortable for the Dormouse,” thought Alice; “only, as it’s asleep, I suppose it doesn’t
Open8CHAPTER VIII.: The Queen’s Croquet-Ground
CHAPTER VIII.: The Queen’s Croquet-Ground from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. A large rose-tree stood near the entrance of the garden: the roses growing on it were white, but there were three gardeners at it, busily painting them red.

Open10CHAPTER X.: The Lobster Quadrille
CHAPTER X.: The Lobster Quadrille from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. 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 him in the back. At last the Mock Turtle recovered his voice, and, with tears running down his cheeks, he went on
Open11CHAPTER XI.: Who Stole the Tarts?
CHAPTER XI.: Who Stole the Tarts? from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. 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 King was the White Rabbit, with a trumpet in one hand, and a scroll of parchment in the other. In the very middle of the court
Open12CHAPTER XII.: Alice’s Evidence
CHAPTER XII.: Alice’s Evidence from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. “Here!” cried Alice, quite forgetting in the flurry of the moment how large she had grown in the last few minutes, and she jumped up in such a hurry that she tipped over the jury-box with the edge of her skirt, upsetting all the jurymen on to the heads of the crowd below, and there they lay sprawling about, reminding her very much of a globe of goldfish she had accidentally upset the week
