« 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 what seemed to be a very deep well. »

« So she called softly after it, 'Mouse dear! Do come back again, and we wo'n't talk about cats, or dogs either, if you don't like them!' When the Mouse heard this, it turned round and swam slowly back to her: its face was quite pale (with passion, Alice thought), and it said, in a low trembling voice, 'Let us get to the shore, and then I'll tell you my history, and you'll understand why it is I hate cats and dogs. »

« On se pressa derechef autour d'elle, tandis que le Dodo lui tendait solennellement le dé à coudre en disant : « Nous vous prions de vouloir bien accepter cet élégant dé à coudre » ; et quand il eut achevé cette courte allocution tous les autres applaudirent.
Alice jugea ces simagrées fort absurdes, mais ils avaient tous l'air si sérieux qu'elle n'osa pas en rire ; et, ne trouvant rien à répondre, elle se contenta de s'incliner, de saisir le dé à coudre et de prendre un air aussi solennel que possible. »

« Then they all crowded round her once more, while the Dodo solemnly presented the thimble, saying 'We beg your acceptance of this elegant thimble'; and, when it had finished this short speech, they all cheered. »

« La porte donnait directement sur une vaste cuisine tout enfumée : assise au milieu de la pièce, sur un tabouret à trois pieds, la Duchesse était en train de bercer un bébé ; penchée au-dessus du feu, la cuisinière touillait le contenu d'un grand chaudron qui paraissait empli de soupe. (...) la cuisinière retira du feu le chaudron de soupe et se mit aussitôt en devoir de lancer, en direction de la Duchesse et du bébé, tout ce qui lui tombait sous la main : d'abord les pincettes et le tisonnier ; puis un ribambelle de casseroles, de plats et d'assiettes. La Duchesse n'y prit point garde, même lorsque certains de ces ustensiles la frappèrent de plein fouet ; quant au bébé, il hurlait si fort dès avant ce bombardement, qu'il était tout à fait impossible de savoir si les coups au but lui faisaient mal ou non. »

« (...) she was a little startled by seeing the Cheshire-Cat sitting on a bough of a tree a few yards off.
The Cat only grinned when it saw Alice. It looked good-natured, she thought: still it had 'very' long claws and a great many teeth, so she felt that it ought to be treated with respect. »

« 'Your hair wants cutting,' said the Hatter. He had been looking at Alice for some time with great curiosity, and this was his first speech.
'You should learn not to make personal remarks,' Alice said with some severity: 'it's very rude.' »

« When she got back to the Cheshire-Cat, she was surprised to find quite a large crowd collected round it: there was a dispute going on between the executioner, the King, and the Queen, who where all talking at once, while all the rest were quite silent, and looked very uncomfortable. »

Complicated Game :

« The chief difficulty Alice found at first was in managing her flamingo : she succeeded in getting its body tucked away, comfortably enough, under her arm, with its legs hanging down, but generally, just as she had got its neck nicely straightened out, and was going to give the hedgehog a blow with its head, it 'would' twist itself round and look up in her face, with such a puzzled expression that she could not help bursting out laughing : and when she had got its head down, and was going to begin again, it was very provoking to find that the hedgehog had unrolled itself, and was in the act of crawling away : besides all this, there was generally a ridge or a furrow in the way wherever she wanted to send the hedgehog to, and, as the double-up soldiers were always getting up and walking oft to other parts of the ground, Alice soon came to the conclusion that it was a very difficult game indeed. »

Five (Live) :

« Five and Seven said nothing, but looked at Two. Two began in a low voice, "Whay the fact is, you see, Miss, this here ought to have been a 'red' rose-tree, and we put a white one in by mistake ; and if the Queen was to find out, we should all have our heads cut off, you know. So you see, Miss, we're doing our best, afore she comes, to - " At this moment Five, who had been anxiously looking across the gardent, called out "The Queen ! The Queen !" and the three gardeners instantly threw themselves flat upon their faces. »

« 'I never heard of 'Uglification",' Alice ventured to say. 'What is it?'
The Gryphon lifted up both its paws in surprise. 'Never heard of uglifying!' it exclaimed. 'You know what to beautify is, I suppose?'
'Yes,' said Alice, doubtfully: 'it means - to - make - anything - prettier.'
'Well then,' the Gryphon went on, 'if you don't know what to uglify is, you 'are' a simpleton.'
Alice did not feel encouraged to ask any more questions about it, so she turned to the Mock Turtle, and said, 'What else had you to learn?'
'Well, there was Mystery,' the Mock Turtle replied, counting off the subjects on his flappers, - 'Mystery, ancient and modern, with Seaography: then Drawling - the Drawling-master was an old conger-eel, that used to come once a week: he taught us Drawling, Stretching, and Fainting in Coils.'
'What was that like?' asked Alice. »

'No, indeed,' said Alice. 'What sort of dance is it ?' »

Good question

« (...) the Unicorn (...) was going on, when his eye happened to fall upon Alice : he turned round instantly, and stood for some time looking at her with an air of the deepest disgust.
"What-is-this ?" he said at last.
"This is a child!" Haiga replied eagerly, coming in front of Alice to introduce her, and spreading out both his hands towards her in an Anglo-Saxon attitude. "We only found it to-day. 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. »
