Now do try , there 's a dear ! ' And Alice got the Red Queen off the table , and set it up before the kitten as a model for it to imitate : however , the thing did n't succeed , principally , Alice said , because the kitten would n't fold its arms properly . So , to punish it , she held it up to the Looking-glass , that it might see how sulky it was -- ` and if you 're not good directly , ' she added , ` I 'll put you through into Looking-glass House . How would you like THAT ? ' ` Now , if you 'll only attend , Kitty , and not talk so much , I 'll tell you all my ideas about Looking-glass House . First , there 's the room you can see through the glass -- that 's just the same as our drawing room , only the things go the other way . I can see all of it when I get upon a chair -- all but the bit behind the fireplace . Oh ! I do so wish I could see THAT bit ! I want so much to know whether they 've a fire in the winter : you never CAN tell , you know , unless our fire smokes , and then smoke comes up in that room too -- but that may be only pretence , just to make it look as if they had a fire . Well then , the books are something like our books , only the words go the wrong way ; I know that , because I 've held up one of our books to the glass , and then they hold up one in the other room . ` 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 , XXXXX .
