She finds herself in a train car populated with animals. She runs down the hill and jumps over the first brook. To get her bearings, Alice looks around and tries to identify major rivers or mountains. Then, the queen tells Alice how to move across the board and disappears. It's extremely dry, but Alice takes it to be polite. When Alice complains of thirst, the queen offers her a biscuit. The Red Queen insists that this is normal a person must run if they wish to stay still. Alice is out of breath and confused-they're not going anywhere. Without warning, the Red Queen drags Alice along as they run. The Red Queen allows Alice to join them as a pawn and says that when she gets to the Eighth Square, Alice can be a queen. Alice asks if she can play and says that she'd love to be a queen. Alice looks around and sees that the surrounding land looks like a chessboard, with brooks dividing the squares. She insists that the hill is a valley, confusing Alice. The queen imperiously asks Alice what she's doing here and gives her directions on how to properly carry herself. She finds herself on the hill in front of the Red Queen in a moment. Alice ends up at the house again and, frustrated, decides to head for the house. Alice decides to go speak to her and ignores the Rose when she suggests that Alice head in the opposite direction. The Rose tells Alice that the tree in the garden protects them with its bark by saying "bough-wough." Alice catches sight of the Red Queen in the distance.
Talking flowers, a Tiger-lily and a Rose, stop Alice. No matter how hard Alice tries, the paths take her back to the house instead of to the hill. Realizing that she needs to get on with her exploration, Alice heads outside.Īlice sees a hill in the garden and decides to climb it so she can look around.
She holds the book up to a mirror and is able to read a poem titled " Jabberwocky." Alice thinks it sounds pretty, but she can't make out what it's about. She realizes that the text isn't in a foreign language-since this is Looking-glass World, the text is backwards. Alice looks around and flips through a book. The White Queen yells for her baby daughter, Lily, who's up on a table, so Alice picks the queen up to help her. She sees tiny living chessmen on the hearth, but the pieces don't seem to see Alice. Excitedly, Alice crawls through the mirror and looks around. Alice threatens to send Kitty to Looking-glass House, which is the house she can see through the mirror above the mantel. Kitty is mischievous and plays with Alice's ball of yarn, unwinding it, so Alice scolds the kitten for this and for several other crimes. One cold November day, Alice lounges in the sitting room and plays with her black kitten, Kitty, while the mother cat Dinah cleans the white kitten, Snowdrop.
