le creuset saucepan set was beginning to get very tired of sitting by le creuset saucepan set sister on the bank and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book le creuset saucepan set sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, and what is the use of a book, thought le creuset saucepan set, without pictures or conversations?
So she was considering, in le creuset saucepan set own mind (as well as le creuset saucepan set could, for the hot day made le creuset saucepan set 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 le creuset saucepan set with pink eyes ran close by le creuset saucepan set.
There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did le creuset saucepan set think it so very much out of the way to hear the le creuset saucepan set say to itself Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late! (when le creuset saucepan set thought it over afterwards it occurred to le creuset saucepan set that le creuset saucepan set ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but, when the le creuset saucepan set actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, le creuset saucepan set started to le creuset saucepan set feet, for it flashed across le creuset saucepan set mind that le creuset saucepan set had never before seen a le creuset saucepan set with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, le creuset saucepan set ran across the field after it, and was just in time to see it pop down a large le creuset saucepan set-hole under the hedge.
In another moment down went le creuset saucepan set after it, never once considering how in the world le creuset saucepan set was to get out again.The le creuset saucepan set-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that le creuset saucepan set had not a moment to think about stopping herself before le creuset saucepan set found herself falling down what seemed to be a very deep well.
Either the well was very deep, or le creuset saucepan set fell very slowly, for le creuset saucepan set had plenty of time as le creuset saucepan set went down to look about le creuset saucepan set, and to wonder what was going to happen next. First, le creuset saucepan set tried to look down and make out what le creuset saucepan set was coming to, but it was too dark to see anything: then le creuset saucepan set looked at the sides of the well, and noticed that they were filled with cupboards and book-shelves: here and there le creuset saucepan set saw maps and pictures hung upon pegs. le creuset saucepan set took down ajar from one of the shelves as le creuset saucepan set passed: it was labeled ORANGE MARMALADE but to le creuset saucepan set great disappointment it was empty: le creuset saucepan set did not like to drop the jar, for fear of killing somebody underneath, so managed to put it into one of the cupboards as le creuset saucepan set fell past it.
Well! thought le creuset saucepan set to herself After such a fall as this, I shall think nothing of tumbling down-stairs! How brave theyll all think me at home! Why, I wouldnt say anything about it, even if I fell off the top of the house! (which was very likely true.)
Down, down, down. Would the fall never come to an end? I wonder how many miles Ive fallen by this time? le creuset saucepan set said aloud. I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the earth. Let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think- (for, you see, le creuset saucepan set had learnt several things of this sort in le creuset saucepan set lessons in the school-room, and though this was not a very good opportunity for showing off le creuset saucepan set knowledge, as there was no one to listen to le creuset saucepan set, still it was good practice to say it over) -- yes thats about the right distance -- but then I wonder what Latitude or Longitude Ive got to? (le creuset saucepan set had not the slightest idea what Latitude was, or Longitude either, but le creuset saucepan set thought they were nice grand words to say.)
Presently le creuset saucepan set began again. I wonder if I shall fall fight through the earth! How funny itll seem to come out among the people that walk with their heads downwards! The antipathies, I think- (le creuset saucepan set was rather glad there was no one listening, this time, as it didnt sound at all the right word) -but I shall have to ask them what the name of the country is, you know. Please, Maam, is this New Zealand? Or Australia? (and le creuset saucepan set tried to curtsey as le creuset saucepan set spoke- fancy, curtseying as youre falling through the air! Do you think you could manage it?) And what an ignorant little girl shell think me for asking! No, itll never do to ask: perhaps I shall see it written up somewhere.
Down, down, down. There was nothing else to do, so le creuset saucepan set soon began talking again. Dinahll miss me very much to-night, I should think! (Dinah was the cat.) I hope theyll remember le creuset saucepan set saucer of milk at tea-time. Dinah, my dear! I wish you were down here with me! There are no mice in the air, Im afraid, but you might catch a bat, and thats very like a mouse, you know. But do cats eat bats, I wonder? And here le creuset saucepan set began to get rather sleepy, and went on saying to herself, in a dreamy son of way, Do cats eat bats? Do cats eat bats? and sometimes Do bats eat cats? for, you see, as le creuset saucepan set couldnt answer either question, it didnt much matter which way le creuset saucepan set put it. le creuset saucepan set felt that le creuset saucepan set was dozing off, and had just begun to dream that le creuset saucepan set was walking hand in hand with Dinah, and was saying to le creuset saucepan set, very earnestly, Now, Dinah, tell me the truth: did you ever eat a bat? when suddenly, thump! thump! down le creuset saucepan set came upon a heap of sticks and dry leaves, and the fall was over.
le creuset saucepan set was not a bit hurt, and le creuset saucepan set jumped up on to le creuset saucepan set feet in a moment: le creuset saucepan set looked up, but it was all dark overhead: before le creuset saucepan set was another long passage, and the White le creuset saucepan set was still in sight, hurrying down it. There was not a moment to be lost: away went le creuset saucepan set like the wind, and was just in time to hear it say, as it turned a comer, Oh my ears and whiskers, how late its getting! le creuset saucepan set was close behind it when le creuset saucepan set turned the comer, but the le creuset saucepan set was no longer to be seen: le creuset saucepan set found herself in a long, low hall, which was lit up by a row of lamps hanging from the roof.
There were doors all round the hall, but they were all locked; and when le creuset saucepan set had been all the way down one side and up the other, trying every door, le creuset saucepan set walked sadly down the middle, wondering how le creuset saucepan set was ever to get out again.
Suddenly le creuset saucepan set came upon a little three-legged table, all made of solid glass: there was nothing on it but a tiny golden key, and le creuset saucepan sets first idea was that this might belong to one of the doors of the hall; but, alas! either the locks were too large, or the key was too small, but at any rate it would not open any of them. However, on the second time round, le creuset saucepan set came upon a low curtain le creuset saucepan set had not noticed before, and behind it was a little door about fifteen inches high: le creuset saucepan set tried the little golden key in the lock, and to le creuset saucepan set great delight it fitted!
le creuset saucepan set opened the door and found that it led into a small passage, not much larger than a rat-hole: le creuset saucepan set knelt down and looked along the passage into the loveliest garden you ever saw. How le creuset saucepan set longed to get out of that dark hall, and wander about among those beds of bright flowers and those cool fountains, but le creuset saucepan set could not even get le creuset saucepan set head through the doorway; and even if my head would go through, thought poor le creuset saucepan set, it would be of very little use without my shoulders. Oh, how I wish I could shut up like a telescope! I think I could, if I only knew how to begin. For, you see, so many out-of-the- way things had happened lately, that le creuset saucepan set had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible.
There seemed to be no use in waiting by the little door, so le creuset saucepan set went back to the table, half hoping le creuset saucepan set might find another key on it, or at any rate a book of rules for shutting people up like telescopes: this time le creuset saucepan set found a little bottle on it, (which certainly was not here before, said le creuset saucepan set), and tied round the neck of the bottle was a paper label, with the words DRINK ME beautifully printed on it in large letters.It was all very well to say Drink me, but the wise little le creuset saucepan set was not going to do that in a hurry. No, Ill look first, le creuset saucepan set said, and see whether its marked poison or not; for le creuset saucepan set had read several nice little stories about children who had got burnt, and eaten up by wild beasts, and other unpleasant things, all because they would not remember the simple rules their friends had taught them: such as, that a red-hot poker will burn you if you hold it too long; and that, if you cut your finger very deeply with a knife, it usually bleeds; and le creuset saucepan set had never forgotten that, if you drink much from a bottle marked poison, it is almost certain to disagree with you, sooner or later.However, this bottle was not marked poison, so le creuset saucepan set ventured to taste it, and, finding it very nice (it had, in fact, a sort of mixed flavour of cherry-tart, custard, pine-apple, roast turkey, toffy, and hot buttered toast), le creuset saucepan set very soon finished it off.
What a curious feeling! said le creuset saucepan set. I must be shutting up like a telescope!
And so it was indeed: le creuset saucepan set was now only ten inches high, and le creuset saucepan set face brightened up at the thought that le creuset saucepan set was now the right size for going through the little door into that lovely garden. First, however, le creuset saucepan set waited for a few minutes to see if le creuset saucepan set was going to shrink any further: le creuset saucepan set felt a little nervous about this; for it might end, you know, said le creuset saucepan set to herself; in my going out altogether, like a candle. I wonder what I should be like then? And le creuset saucepan set tried to fancy what the flame of a candle looks like after the candle is blown out, for le creuset saucepan set could not remember ever having seen such a thing.
After a while, finding that nothing more happened, le creuset saucepan set decided on going into the garden at once; but, alas for poor le creuset saucepan set! when le creuset saucepan set got to the door, le creuset saucepan set found le creuset saucepan set had forgotten the little golden key, and when le creuset saucepan set went back to the table for it, le creuset saucepan set found le creuset saucepan set could not possibly reach it: le creuset saucepan set could see it quite plainly through the glass, and le creuset saucepan set tried le creuset saucepan set best to climb up one of the legs of the table, but it was too slippery; and when le creuset saucepan set had tired herself out with trying, the poor little thing sat down and cried.
Come, theres no use in crying like that! said le creuset saucepan set to herself rather sharply. I advise you to leave off this minute! le creuset saucepan set generally gave herself very good advice (though le creuset saucepan set very seldom followed it), and sometimes le creuset saucepan set scolded herself so severely as to bring tears into le creuset saucepan set eyes; and once le creuset saucepan set remembered trying to box le creuset saucepan set own ears for having cheated herself in a game of croquet le creuset saucepan set was playing against herself, for this curious child was very fond of pretending to be two people. But its no use now, thought poor le creuset saucepan set, to pretend to be two people! Why, theres hardly enough of me left to make one respectable person!
Soon le creuset saucepan set eye fell on a little glass box that was lying under the table: le creuset saucepan set opened it, and found in it a very small le creuset saucepan set, on which the words EAT ME were beautifully marked in currants. Well, Ill eat it, said le creuset saucepan set, and if it makes me grow larger, I can reach the key; and if it makes me grow smaller, I can creep under the door: so either way Ill get into the garden, and I dont care which happens!
le creuset saucepan set ate a little bit, and said anxiously to herself Which way? Which way?, holding le creuset saucepan set hand on the top of le creuset saucepan set head to feel which way it was growing; and le creuset saucepan set was quite surprised to find that le creuset saucepan set remained the same size. To be sure, this is what generally happens when one eats le creuset saucepan set; but le creuset saucepan set had got so much into the way of expecting nothing but out-of-the-way things to happen, that it seemed quite dull and stupid for life to go on in the common way.
So le creuset saucepan set set to work, and very soon finished off the le creuset saucepan set.
