oh my fur and whiskers ! She 'll have me executed , as sure as ferrets are ferrets ! Where can I have dropped them , I wonder ? '' Alice guessed in a moment that it was looking for the nosegay and the pair of white kid gloves , and she began hunting for them , but they were now nowhere to be seen -- everything seemed to have changed since her swim in the pool , and her walk along the river-bank with its fringe of rushes and forget-me-nots , and the glass table and the little door had vanished . Soon the rabbit noticed Alice , as she stood looking curiously about her , and at once said in a quick angry tone , `` why , Mary Ann ! what are you doing out here ? Go home this moment , and look on my dressing-table for my gloves and nosegay , and fetch them here , as quick as you can run , do you hear ? '' and Alice was so much frightened that she ran off at once , without saying a word , in the direction which the rabbit had pointed out . She soon found herself in front of a neat little house , on the door of which was a bright brass plate with the name W. RABBIT , ESQ. . She went in , and hurried upstairs , for fear she should meet the real Mary Ann and be turned out of the house before she had found the gloves : she knew that one pair had been lost in the hall , `` but of course , '' thought Alice , `` it has plenty more of them in its house . How queer it seems to be going messages for a rabbit ! I suppose Dinah 'll be sending me messages next ! '' And she began fancying the sort of things that would happen : `` Miss Alice ! come here directly and get ready for your walk ! '' `` Coming in a minute , nurse ! but I 've got to watch this mousehole till Dinah comes back , and see that the mouse does n't get out -- '' `` only I do n't think , '' Alice went on , `` that they 'd let Dinah stop in the house , if it began ordering people about like that ! '' -LSB- Illustration -RSB- By this time she had found her way into a tidy little room , with a table in the window on which was a looking-glass and , -LRB- as Alice had hoped , -RRB- two or three pairs of tiny white kid gloves : she took up a pair of gloves , and was just going to leave the room , when her eye fell upon a little bottle that stood near the looking-glass : there was no label on it this time with the words `` drink me , '' but nonetheless she uncorked it and put it to her lips : `` I know something interesting is sure to happen , '' she said to herself , `` whenever I eat or drink anything , so I 'll see what this bottle does . I do hope it 'll make me grow larger , for I 'm quite tired of being such a tiny little thing ! '' -LSB- Illustration -RSB- It did so indeed , and much sooner than she expected : before she had drunk half the bottle , she found her head pressing against the ceiling , and she stooped to save her neck from being broken , and hastily put down the bottle , saying to herself `` that 's quite enough -- I hope I sha 'n' t grow any more -- I wish I had n't drunk so much ! '' -LSB- Illustration -RSB- Alas !
it was too late : she went on growing and growing , and very soon had to kneel down : in another XXXXX there was not room even for this , and she tried the effect of lying down , with one elbow against the door , and the other arm curled round her head .
