But she was not sea-sick , and did not give herself up . ` It is a good thing to be steeled against sea-sickness ; here one has indeed an advantage over man ! Now my qualms are over . The finer one is the more one can beat . ' ` Crack ! ' said the egg-shell as a wagon-wheel went over it . ` Oh ! how it presses ! ' said the Darning-needle . ' I shall indeed be sea-sick now . I am breaking ! ' CHAPTER I. Down the Rabbit-Hole Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank , and of having nothing to do : once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading , but it had no pictures or conversations in it , ` and what is the use of a book , ' thought Alice ` without pictures or conversation ?

The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way , and then dipped suddenly down , so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well . Either the well was very deep , or she fell very slowly , for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her and to wonder what was going to happen next .
First , she tried to look down and make out what she was coming to , but it was too dark to see anything ; then she looked at the sides of the well , and noticed that they were filled XXXXX cupboards and book-shelves ; here and there she saw maps and pictures hung upon pegs .
