-- that I wo n't then -- Bill 's got to go down -- here , Bill ! the master says you 've to go down the chimney ! '' `` Oh , so Bill 's got to come down the chimney , has he ? '' said Alice to herself , `` why , they seem to put everything upon Bill ! I would n't be in Bill 's place for a good deal : the fireplace is a pretty tight one , but I think I can kick a little ! '' She drew her foot as far down the chimney as she could , and waited till she heard a little animal -LRB- she could n't guess what sort it was -RRB- scratching and scrambling in the chimney close above her : then , saying to herself `` this is Bill , '' she gave one sharp kick , and waited again to see what would happen next . -LSB- Illustration -RSB- The first thing was a general chorus of `` there goes Bill ! '' then the rabbit 's voice alone `` catch him , you by the hedge ! '' then silence , and then another confusion of voices , `` how was it , old fellow ? what happened to you ? tell us all about it . '' Last came a little feeble squeaking voice , -LRB- `` that 's Bill '' thought Alice , -RRB- which said `` well , I hardly know -- I 'm all of a fluster myself -- something comes at me like a Jack-in-the-box , and the next minute up I goes like a rocket ! '' `` And so you did , old fellow ! '' said the other voices . `` We must burn the house down ! '' said the voice of the rabbit , and Alice called out as loud as she could `` if you do , I 'll set Dinah at you ! '' This caused silence again , and while Alice was thinking `` but how can I get Dinah here ? '' she found to her great delight that she was getting smaller : very soon she was able to get up out of the uncomfortable position in which she had been lying , and in two or three minutes more she was once more three inches high . She ran out of the house as quick as she could , and found quite a crowd of little animals waiting outside -- guinea-pigs , white mice , squirrels , and `` Bill '' a little green lizard , that was being supported in the arms of one of the guinea-pigs , while another was giving it something out of a bottle . They all made a rush at her the moment she appeared , but Alice ran her hardest , and soon found herself in a thick wood .
-LSB- Illustration -RSB- Chapter III -LSB- Illustration -RSB- `` The XXXXX thing I 've got to do , '' said Alice to herself , as she wandered about in the wood , `` is to grow to my right size , and the second thing is to find my way into that lovely garden .
