Chapter II
The Pool of Tears
`Curiouser and curiouser!' cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for
the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English); `now I'm opening
out like the largest telescope that ever was! Good-bye, feet!' (for when
she looked down at her feet, they seemed to be almost out of sight, they
were getting so far off). `Oh, my poor little feet, I wonder who will
put on your shoes and stockings for you now, dears? I'm sure I shan't be
able! I shall be a grea deal too far off to trouble myself about you: you
must manage the best way you can; --but I must be kind to them,' thought
Alice, `or perhaps they won't walk the way I want to go! Let me see: I'll
give them a new pair of boots every Christmas.'

And she went on planning to herself how she would manage it. `They must go
by the carrier,' she thought; `and how funny it'll seem, sending presents
to one's own feet! And how odd the directions will look!

Oh dear, what nonsense I'm talking..........
