The

Red

Queen

made

no

resistance

whatever

;

only

her

face

grew

very

small

,

and

her

eyes

got

large

and

green

:

and

still

,

as

Alice

went

on

shaking

her

,

she

kept

on

growing

shorter

--

and

fatter

--

and

softer

--

and

rounder

--

and

--

and

it

really

was

a

kitten

,

after

all

.

'

Your

majesty

should

n't

purr

so

loud

,

'

Alice

said

,

rubbing

her

eyes

,

and

addressing

the

kitten

,

respectfully

,

yet

with

some

severity

.

'

You

woke

me

out

of

oh

!

such

a

nice

dream

!

And

you

've

been

along

with

me

,

Kitty

--

all

through

the

Looking-Glass

world

.

Did

you

know

it

,

dear

?

It

is

a

very

inconvenient

habit

of

kittens

(

Alice

had

once

made

the

remark

)

that

,

whatever

you

say

to

them

,

they

always

purr

.

'

If

them

would

only

purr

for

"

yes

"

and

mew

for

"

no

,

"

or

any

rule

of

that

sort

,

'

she

had

said

,

'

so

that

one

could

keep

up

a

conversation

!

But

how

can

you

talk

with

a

person

if

they

always

say

the

same

thing

?

'

On

this

occasion

the

kitten

only

purred

:

and

it

was

impossible

to

guess

whether

it

meant

'

yes

'

or

'

no

.

'

So

Alice

hunted

among

the

chessmen

on

the

table

till

she

had

found

the

Red

Queen

:

then

she

went

down

on

her

knees

on

the

hearth-rug

,

and

put

the

kitten

and

the

Queen

to

look

at

each

other

.

'

Now

,

Kitty

!

'

she

cried

,

clapping

her

hands

triumphantly

.

'

Confess

that

was

what

you

turned

into

!

'

(

'

But

it

would

n't

look

at

it

,

'

she

said

,

when

she

was

explaining

the

thing

afterwards

to

her

sister

:

'

it

turned

away

its

head

,

and

pretended

not

to

see

it

:

but

it

looked

a

little

ashamed

of

itself

,

so

I

think

it

must

have

been

the

Red

Queen

.

'

Sit

up

a

little

more

stiffly

,

dear

!

'

Alice

cried

with

a

merry

laugh

.

'

And

curtsey

while

you

're

thinking

what

to

--

what

to

purr

.

It

saves

time

,

remember

!

'

And

she

caught

it

up

and

gave

it

one

little

kiss

,

'

just

in

honour

of

having

been

a

Red

Queen

.

'

'

Snowdrop

,

my

pet

!

'

she

went

on

,

looking

over

her

shoulder

at

the

White

Kitten

,

which

was

still

patiently

undergoing

its

toilet

,

'

when

will

Dinah

have

finished

with

your

White

Majesty

,

I

wonder

?

That

must

be

the

reason

you

were

so

untidy

in

my

dream

--

Dinah

!

do

you

know

that

you

're

scrubbing

a

White

Queen

?

Really

,

it

's

most

disrespectful

of

you

!

'

And

what

did

Dinah

turn

to

,

I

wonder

?

'

she

prattled

on

,

as

she

settled

comfortably

down

,

with

one

elbow

in

the

rug

,

and

her

chin

in

her

hand

,

to

watch

the

kittens

.

'

Tell

me

,

Dinah

,

did

you

turn

to

Humpty

Dumpty

?

I

think

you

did

--

however

,

you

'd

better

not

mention

it

to

your

friends

just

yet

,

for

I

'm

not

sure

.
