` Oh , you foolish Alice ! ' she answered herself . ` How can you learn lessons in here ? Why , there 's hardly room for YOU , and no room at all for any lesson-books ! ' And so she went on , taking first one side and then the other , and making quite a conversation of it altogether ; but after a few minutes she heard a voice outside , and stopped to listen . ` Mary Ann ! Mary Ann ! ' said the voice . ` Fetch me my gloves this moment ! ' Then came a little pattering of feet on the stairs . Alice knew it was the Rabbit coming to look for her , and she trembled till she shook the house , quite forgetting that she was now about a thousand times as large as the Rabbit , and had no reason to be afraid of it . Presently the Rabbit came up to the door , and tried to open it ; but , as the door opened inwards , and Alice 's elbow was pressed hard against it , that attempt proved a failure . Alice heard it say to itself ` Then I 'll go round and get in at the window . ' ` THAT you wo n't ' thought Alice , and , after waiting till she fancied she heard the Rabbit just under the window , she suddenly spread out her hand , and made a snatch in the air . She did not get hold of anything , but she heard a little shriek and a fall , and a crash of broken glass , from which she concluded that it was just possible it had fallen into a cucumber-frame , or something of the sort . Next came an angry voice -- the Rabbit 's -- ` Pat ! Pat ! Where are you ? ' And then a voice she had never heard before , ` Sure then I 'm here ! Digging for apples , yer honour ! '
` XXXXX for apples , indeed ! '
