(start of paragraph)
michael@0: So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her
michael@0: feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth
michael@0: the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink
michael@0: eyes ran close by her.
michael@0:
michael@0: There was nothing so VERY remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so VERY much out of
michael@0: the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, `Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!' (when she
michael@0: thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this,
michael@0: but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually TOOK A WATCH
michael@0: OUT OF ITS WAISTCOAT-POCKET, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her
michael@0: feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a
michael@0: waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across
michael@0: the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large
michael@0: rabbit-hole under the hedge.
michael@0:
michael@0: In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she
michael@0: was to get out again.
michael@0:
michael@0: The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly
michael@0: down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she
michael@0: found herself falling down a very deep well.
michael@0:
(start of paragraph)
michael@0: Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she
michael@0: went down to look about her and to wonder what was going to happen next. First, she tried
michael@0: to look down and make out what she was coming to, but it was too dark to see anything;
michael@0: then she looked at the sides of the well, and noticed that they were filled with cupboards
michael@0: and book-shelves; here and there she saw maps and pictures hung upon pegs. She took down a
michael@0: jar from one of the shelves as she passed; it was labelled `ORANGE MARMALADE', but to her
michael@0: great disappointment it was empty: she did not like to drop the jar for fear of killing
michael@0: somebody, so managed to put it into one of the cupboards as she fell past it.
michael@0:
michael@0: `Well!' thought Alice to herself, `after such a fall as this, I shall think nothing of
michael@0: tumbling down stairs! How brave they'll all think me at home! Why, I wouldn't say anything
michael@0: about it, even if I fell off the top of the house!' (Which was very likely true.)
michael@0:
michael@0: Down, down, down.
