cried Alice , -LRB- she was so surprised that she quite forgot how to speak good English , -RRB- `` now I 'm opening out like the largest telescope that ever was ! Goodbye , feet ! '' -LRB- for when she looked down at her feet , they seemed almost out of sight , they were getting so far off , -RRB- `` oh , my poor little feet , I wonder who will put on your shoes and stockings for you now , dears ? I 'm sure I ca n't ! I shall be a great deal too far off to bother myself about you : you must manage the best way you can -- but I must be kind to them , '' thought Alice , `` or perhaps they wo n't walk the way I want to go ! Let me see : I 'll give them a new pair of boots every Christmas . '' -LSB- Illustration -RSB- And she went on planning to herself how she would manage it `` they must go by the carrier , '' she thought , `` and how funny it 'll seem , sending presents to one 's own feet ! And how odd the directions will look ! ALICE 'S RIGHT FOOT , ESQ. . THE CARPET , with ALICE 'S LOVE oh dear ! what nonsense I am talking ! '' Just at this moment , her head struck against the roof of the hall : in fact , she was now rather more than nine feet high , and she at once took up the little golden key , and hurried off to the garden door . Poor Alice ! it was as much as she could do , lying down on one side , to look through into the garden with one eye , but to get through was more hopeless than ever : she sat down and cried again . `` You ought to be ashamed of yourself , '' said Alice , `` a great girl like you , '' -LRB- she might well say this , -RRB- `` to cry in this way ! Stop this instant , I tell you ! '' But she cried on all the same , shedding gallons of tears , until there was a large pool , about four inches deep , all round her , and reaching half way across the hall . After a time , she heard a little pattering of feet in the distance , and dried her eyes to see what was coming . It was the white rabbit coming back again , splendidly dressed , with a pair of white kid gloves in one hand , and a nosegay in the other . 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 XXXXX so delicious that she kept smelling at it all the time she went on talking to herself -- `` dear , dear !
