Alice

waited

a

minute

to

see

if

he

would

speak

again

,

but

as

he

never

opened

his

eyes

or

took

any

further

notice

of

her

,

she

said

'

Good-bye

!

'

once

more

,

and

,

getting

no

answer

to

this

,

she

quietly

walked

away

:

but

she

could

n't

help

saying

to

herself

as

she

went

,

'

Of

all

the

unsatisfactory

--

'

(

she

repeated

this

aloud

,

as

it

was

a

great

comfort

to

have

such

a

long

word

to

say

)

'

of

all

the

unsatisfactory

people

I

ever

met

--

'

She

never

finished

the

sentence

,

for

at

this

moment

a

heavy

crash

shook

the

forest

from

end

to

end

.

he

next

moment

soldiers

came

running

through

the

wood

,

at

first

in

twos

and

threes

,

then

ten

or

twenty

together

,

and

at

last

in

such

crowds

that

they

seemed

to

fill

the

whole

forest

.

Alice

got

behind

a

tree

,

for

fear

of

being

run

over

,

and

watched

them

go

by

.

She

thought

that

in

all

her

life

she

had

never

seen

soldiers

so

uncertain

on

their

feet

:

they

were

always

tripping

over

something

or

other

,

and

whenever

one

went

down

,

several

more

always

fell

over

him

,

so

that

the

ground

was

soon

covered

with

little

heaps

of

men

.

Then

came

the

horses

.

Having

four

feet

,

these

managed

rather

better

than

the

foot-soldiers

:

but

even

they

stumbled

now

and

then

;

and

it

seemed

to

be

a

regular

rule

that

,

whenever

a

horse

stumbled

the

rider

fell

off

instantly

.

The

confusion

got

worse

every

moment

,

and

Alice

was

very

glad

to

get

out

of

the

wood

into

an

open

place

,

where

she

found

the

White

King

seated

on

the

ground

,

busily

writing

in

his

memorandum-book

.

'

I

've

sent

them

all

!

'

the

King

cried

in

a

tone

of

delight

,

on

seeing

Alice

.

'

Did

you

happen

to

meet

any

soldiers

,

my

dear

,

as

you

came

through

the

wood

?

'

'

Yes

,

I

did

,

'

said

Alice

:

'

several

thousand

,

I

should

think

.

'

'

Four

thousand

two

hundred

and

seven

,

that

's

the

exact

number

,

'

the

King

said

,

referring

to

his

book

.

'

I

could

n't

send

all

the

horses

,

you

know

,

because

two

of

them

are

wanted

in

the

game

.

And

I

have

n't

sent

the

two

Messengers

,

either

.

They

're

both

gone

to

the

town

.

Just

look

along

the

road

,

and

tell

me

if

you

can

see

either

of

them

.

'

'

I

see

nobody

on

the

road

,

'

said

Alice

.

'

I

only

wish

I

had

such

eyes

,

'

the

King

remarked

in

a

fretful

tone

.

'

To

be

able

to

see

Nobody

!

And

at

that

distance

,

too

!

Why

,

it

's

as

much

as

I

can

do

to

see

real

people

,

by

this

light

!

'

All

this

was

lost

on

Alice

,

who

was

still

looking

intently

along

the

road

,

shading

her

eyes

with

one

hand

.

'

I

see

somebody

now

!

'

she

exclaimed

at

last

.

'

But

he

's

coming

very

slowly

--

and

what

curious

attitudes

he

goes

into

!

'

(

For

the

messenger

kept

skipping

up

and

down

,

and

wriggling

like

an

eel

,

as

he

came

along

,

with

his

great

hands

spread

out

like

fans

on

each

side

.
