Besides, SHE\u2019S she, and I\u2019m I, and\u2014oh dear, how puzzling it all is! I\u2019ll try if I know all the things I used to know. Let me see: four times five is twelve, and four times six is thirteen, and four times seven is\u2014oh dear! I shall never get to twenty at that rate! However, the Multiplication Table doesn\u2019t signify: let\u2019s try Geography. London is the capital of Paris, and Paris is the capital of Rome, and Rome\u2014no, THAT\u2019S all wrong, I\u2019m certain! I must have been changed for Mabel! I\u2019ll try and say \u2018How doth the little\u2014’\u201d and she crossed her hands on her lap as if she were saying lessons, and began to repeat it, but her voice sounded hoarse and strange, and the words did not come the same as they used to do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cHow doth the little crocodile
\nImprove his shining tail,
\nAnd pour the waters of the Nile
\nOn every golden scale!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cHow cheerfully he seems to grin,
\nHow neatly spread his claws,
\nAnd welcome little fishes in
\nWith gently smiling jaws!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\u201cI\u2019m sure those are not the right words,\u201d said poor Alice, and her eyes filled with tears again as she went on, \u201cI must be Mabel after all, and I shall have to go and live in that poky little house, and have next to no toys to play with, and oh! ever so many lessons to learn! No, I\u2019ve made up my mind about it; if I\u2019m Mabel, I\u2019ll stay down here! It\u2019ll be no use their putting their heads down and saying \u2018Come up again, dear!\u2019 I shall only look up and say \u2018Who am I then? Tell me that first, and then, if I like being that person, I\u2019ll come up: if not, I\u2019ll stay down here till I\u2019m somebody else\u2019\u2014but, oh dear!\u201d cried Alice, with a sudden burst of tears, \u201cI do wish they WOULD put their heads down! I am so VERY tired of being all alone here!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
