+CHAPTER I. Down the Rabbit-Hole
+
+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 conversations?'
+
+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.
+
+In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how
+in the world she was to get out again.
+
+The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then
+dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think
+about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very
+deep well.
+
+Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty
+of time as she went down to look about her and to wonder what was going
+to happen next. First, she tried to look down and make out what she was
+coming to, but it was too dark to see anything; then she looked at the
+sides of the well, and noticed that they were filled with cupboards
+and book-shelves; here and there she saw maps and pictures hung upon
+pegs. She took down a jar from one of the shelves as she passed; it was
+labelled 'ORANGE MARMALADE', but to her great disappointment it was
+empty: she did not like to drop the jar for fear of killing somebody,
+so managed to put it into one of the cupboards as she fell past it.
+
+'Well!' thought Alice to herself, 'after such a fall as this,
+I shall think nothing of tumbling down stairs! How brave they'll all
+think me at home! Why, I wouldn't 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 I've fallen by this time?' she 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, Alice had learnt
+several things of this sort in her lessons in the schoolroom, and though
+this was not a very good opportunity for showing off her knowledge,
+as there was no one to listen to her, still it was good practice to
+say it over) '--yes, that's about the right distance--but then I
+wonder what Latitude or Longitude I've got to?' (Alice had no idea
+what Latitude was, or Longitude either, but thought they were nice grand
+words to say.)
+
+Presently she began again. 'I wonder if I shall fall right through
+the earth! How funny it'll seem to come out among the people that
+walk with their heads downward! The Antipathies, I think--' (she was
+rather glad there was no one listening, this time, as it didn't sound
+at all the right word) '--but I shall have to ask them what the name
+of the country is, you know. Please, Ma'am, is this New Zealand or
+Australia?' (and she tried to curtsey as she spoke--fancy curtseying
+as you're falling through the air! Do you think you could manage
+it?) 'And what an ignorant little girl she'll think me for asking! No,
+it'll never do to ask: perhaps I shall see it written up somewhere.'
