'You look a little shy; let me introduce you to that leg of mutton,' said the Red Queen. 'Alice—Mutton; Mutton—Alice.' The leg of mutton got up in the dish and made a little bow to Alice; and Alice returned the bow, not knowing whether to be frightened or amused.

'Are five nights warmer than one night, then?' Alice ventured to ask. 'Five times as warm, of course.' 'But they should be five times as COLD, by the same rule—'

'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.'

'I daresay you haven't had much practice,' said the Queen. 'When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast. There goes the shawl again!'

'What a thick black cloud that is!' she said. 'And how fast it comes! Why, I do believe it's got wings!'

'We CAN talk,' said the Tiger-lily: 'when there's anybody worth talking to.'

She puzzled over this for some time, but at last a bright thought struck her. 'Why, it's a Looking-glass book, of course! And if I hold it up to a glass, the words will all go the right way again.'

I wonder if the snow LOVES the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently?
