Looking-Glass house One thing was certain , that the WHITE kitten had had nothing to do with it : -- it was the black kitten 's fault entirely . For the white kitten had been having its face washed by the old cat for the last quarter of an hour -LRB- and bearing it pretty well , considering -RRB- ; so you see that it COULD N'T have had any hand in the mischief . The way Dinah washed her children 's faces was this : first she held the poor thing down by its ear with one paw , and then with the other paw she rubbed its face all over , the wrong way , beginning at the nose : and just now , as I said , she was hard at work on the white kitten , which was lying quite still and trying to purr -- no doubt feeling that it was all meant for its good . But the black kitten had been finished with earlier in the afternoon , and so , while Alice was sitting curled up in a corner of the great arm-chair , half talking to herself and half asleep , the kitten had been having a grand game of romps with the ball of worsted Alice had been trying to wind up , and had been rolling it up and down till it had all come undone again ; and there it was , spread over the hearth-rug , all knots and tangles , with the kitten running after its own tail in the middle . ` Oh , you wicked little thing ! '
cried XXXXX , catching up the kitten , and giving it a little kiss to make it understand that it was in disgrace .
