CHAPTER II . The Garden of Live Flowers ' I should see the garden far better , ' said Alice to herself , ` if I could get to the top of that hill : and here 's a path that leads straight to it -- at least , no , it does n't do that -- ' -LRB- after going a few yards along the path , and turning several sharp corners -RRB- , ` but I suppose it will at last . But how curiously it twists ! It 's more like a corkscrew than a path ! Well , THIS turn goes to the hill , I suppose -- no , it does n't ! This goes straight back to the house ! Well then , I 'll try it the other way . ' And so she did : wandering up and down , and trying turn after turn , but always coming back to the house , do what she would . Indeed , once , when she turned a corner rather more quickly than usual , she ran against it before she could stop herself . ` It 's no use talking about it , ' Alice said , looking up at the house and pretending it was arguing with her . ` I 'm NOT going in again yet . I know I should have to get through the Looking-glass again -- back into the old room -- and there 'd be an end of all my adventures ! ' So , resolutely turning her back upon the house , she set out once more down the path , determined to keep straight on till she got to the hill . For a few minutes all went on well , and she was just saying , ' I really SHALL do it this time -- ' when the path gave a sudden twist and shook itself -LRB- as she described it afterwards -RRB- , and the next moment she found herself actually walking in at the door . ` Oh , it 's too bad ! ' she cried . ' I never saw such a house for getting in the way ! Never ! ' However , there was the hill full in sight , so there was nothing to be done but start again . This time she came upon a large flower-bed , with a border of daisies , and a willow-tree growing in the middle . '
O Tiger-lily , ' said XXXXX , addressing herself to one that was waving gracefully about in the wind , ' I WISH you could talk ! '
