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 , Kitty . Let 's pretend the glass has got all soft like gauze , so that we can get through . Why , it 's turning into a sort of mist now , I declare ! It 'll be easy enough to get through -- ' She was up on the chimney-piece while she said this , though she hardly knew how she had got there . And certainly the glass WAS beginning to melt away , just like a bright silvery mist . In another moment Alice was through the glass , and had jumped lightly down into the Looking-glass room .
The very first thing she did was to look whether there was a XXXXX in the fireplace , and she was quite pleased to find that there was a real one , blazing away as brightly as the one she had left behind .
