    What curious attitudes he goes into!' {For the messenger kept skipping up and down, and wriggling like an eel, as he came along, with his great hands spread out like fans on each side.}'Not at all,' said the King.

    I suppose you don't want to lose your name?''No, indeed,' Alice said, a little anxiously.'And yet I don't know,' the Gnat went on in a careless tone: 'only think how convenient it would be if you could manage to go home without it! For instance, if the governess wanted to call you to your lessons, she would call out "come here-," and there she would have to leave off, because there wouldn't be any name for her to call, and of course you wouldn't have to go, you know.

  6. Lewis Carroll _ Through the Looking-Glass and

    What do you call yourself?' the Fawn said at last. Such a soft sweet voice it had!'I wish I knew!' thought poor Alice. She answered, rather sadly, 'Nothing, just now.''Think again,' it said: 'that won't do.'Alice thought, but nothing came of it. 'Please, would you tell me what YOU call yourself?' she said timidly. 'I think that might help a little.''I'll tell you, if you'll come a little further on,' the Fawn said. 'I can't remember here.'So they walked on together through the wood, Alice with her arms clasped lovingly round the soft neck of the Fawn, till they came out into another open field, and here the Fawn gave a sudden bound into the air, and shook itself free from Alice's arms. 'I'm a Fawn!' it cried out in a voice of delight,'and, dear me! you're a human child!' A sudden look of alarm came into its beautiful brown eyes, and in another moment it had darted away at full speed.

    Why, about !" Tweedledee exclaimed, clapping his hands triumphantly. "And if he left off dreaming about you, where do you suppose you'd be?""Where I am now, of course," said Alice."Not you!" Tweedledee retorted contemptuously. "You'd be nowhere. Why, you're only a sort of thing in his dream!""If that there King was to wake," added Tweedledum, "you'd go out--bang!--just like a candle!""I shouldn't!" Alice exclaimed indignantly.

    JABBERWOCKY 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. "Beware the Jabberwock, my son The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!" He took his vorpal sword in hand; Long time the manxome foe he sought- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. "And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!" He chortled in his joy. 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. 'It seems very pretty,' she said when she had finished it, 'but it's RATHER hard to understand!' {You see she didn't like to confess, even to herself, that she couldn't make it out at all.} 'Somehow it seemed to fill my head with ideas - only I don't know exactly what they are!

Haigha replied eagerly, coming in front of Alice to introduce her. `We only found it today. It's as large as life, and twice as natural!'`I always thought they were fabulous monsters!' said the Unicorn. 'Is it alive?'`It can talk,' said Haigha, solemnly.The Unicorn looked dreamily at Alice, and said `Talk, child.'Alice could not help her lips curing up into a smile as she began: `Do you know, I always thought Unicorns were fabulous monsters, too! I never saw one alive before!'`Well, now that we have seen each other,' said the Unicorn, `if you'll believe in me, I'll believe in you. Is that a bargain?

    You alarm me!' said the King. 'I feel faint-Give me a ham sandwich!'On which the Messenger, to Alice's great amusement, opened a bag that hung round his neck, and handed a sandwich to the King, who devoured it greedily.'Another sandwich!' said the King.'There's nothing but hay left now,' the Messenger said, peeping into the bag.'Hay, then,' the King murmured in a faint whisper.Alice was glad to see that it revived him a good deal. 'There's nothing like eating hay when you're faint,' he remarked to her, as he munched away.'I should think throwing cold water over you would be better,' Alice suggested: 'or some .''I didn't say there was nothing ,' the King replied. 'I said there was nothing it.' Which Alice did not venture to deny.
