` How would you like to live in Looking-glass House , Kitty ? I wonder if they 'd give you milk in there ? Perhaps Looking-glass milk is n't good to drink -- But oh , Kitty ! now we come to the passage . You can just see a little PEEP of the passage in Looking-glass House , if you leave the door of our drawing-room wide open : and it 's very like our passage as far as you can see , only you know it may be quite different on beyond . Oh , Kitty ! how nice it would be if we could only get through into Looking-glass House ! I 'm sure it 's got , oh ! such beautiful things in it ! Let 's pretend there 's a way of getting through into it , somehow , Kitty . Let 's pretend the glass has got all soft like gauze , so that we can get through . Why , it 's turning into a sort of mist now , I declare ! It 'll be easy enough to get through -- ' She was up on the chimney-piece while she said this , though she hardly knew how she had got there . And certainly the glass WAS beginning to melt away , just like a bright silvery mist . In another moment Alice was through the glass , and had jumped lightly down into the Looking-glass room . The very first thing she did was to look whether there was a fire in the fireplace , and she was quite pleased to find that there was a real one , blazing away as brightly as the one she had left behind . ` So I shall be as warm here as I was in the old room , ' thought Alice : ` warmer , in fact , because there 'll be no one here to scold me away from the fire . Oh , what fun it 'll be , when they see me through the glass in here , and ca n't get at me ! ' Then she began looking about , and noticed that what could be seen from the old room was quite common and uninteresting , but that all the rest was as different as possible . For instance , the pictures on the wall next the fire seemed to be all alive , and the very clock on the chimney-piece -LRB- you know you can only see the back of it in the Looking-glass -RRB- had got the face of a little old man , and grinned at her .
` They do n't keep this room so tidy as the other , ' XXXXX thought to herself , as she noticed several of the chessmen down in the hearth among the cinders : but in another moment , with a little ` Oh ! '
