Alice was ready to ask help of any one , she felt so desperate , and as the rabbit passed her , she said , in a low , timid voice , `` If you please , Sir -- '' the rabbit started violently , looked up once into the roof of the hall , from which the voice seemed to come , and then dropped the nosegay and the white kid gloves , and skurried away into the darkness , as hard as it could go . -LSB- Illustration -RSB- Alice took up the nosegay and gloves , and found the nosegay so delicious that she kept smelling at it all the time she went on talking to herself -- `` dear , dear ! how queer everything is today ! and yesterday everything happened just as usual : I wonder if I was changed in the night ? Let me think : was I the same when I got up this morning ? I think I remember feeling rather different . But if I 'm not the same , who in the world am I ? Ah , that 's the great puzzle ! '' And she began thinking over all the children she knew of the same age as herself , to see if she could have been changed for any of them . `` I 'm sure I 'm not Gertrude , '' she said , `` for her hair goes in such long ringlets , and mine does n't go in ringlets at all -- and I 'm sure I ca 'n' t be Florence , for I know all sorts of things , and she , oh ! she knows such a very little ! Besides , she 's she , and I 'm I , and -- oh dear ! how puzzling it all is ! I 'll 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 fourteen -- oh dear ! I shall never get to twenty at this rate ! But the Multiplication Table do n't signify -- let 's try Geography . London is the capital of France , and Rome is the capital of Yorkshire , and Paris -- oh dear ! dear ! that 's all wrong , I 'm certain !
I must have been changed for XXXXX !
