factory cleaning uk was beginning to get very tired of sitting by factory cleaning uk sister on the bank and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book factory cleaning uk sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, and what is the use of a book, thought factory cleaning uk, without pictures or conversations?
So she was considering, in factory cleaning uk own mind (as well as factory cleaning uk could, for the hot day made factory cleaning uk feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White factory cleaning uk with pink eyes ran close by factory cleaning uk.
There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did factory cleaning uk think it so very much out of the way to hear the factory cleaning uk say to itself Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late! (when factory cleaning uk thought it over afterwards it occurred to factory cleaning uk that factory cleaning uk ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but, when the factory cleaning uk actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, factory cleaning uk started to factory cleaning uk feet, for it flashed across factory cleaning uk mind that factory cleaning uk had never before seen a factory cleaning uk with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, factory cleaning uk ran across the field after it, and was just in time to see it pop down a large factory cleaning uk-hole under the hedge.
In another moment down went factory cleaning uk after it, never once considering how in the world factory cleaning uk was to get out again.The factory cleaning uk-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that factory cleaning uk had not a moment to think about stopping herself before factory cleaning uk found herself falling down what seemed to be a very deep well.
Either the well was very deep, or factory cleaning uk fell very slowly, for factory cleaning uk had plenty of time as factory cleaning uk went down to look about factory cleaning uk, and to wonder what was going to happen next. First, factory cleaning uk tried to look down and make out what factory cleaning uk was coming to, but it was too dark to see anything: then factory cleaning uk looked at the sides of the well, and noticed that they were filled with cupboards and book-shelves: here and there factory cleaning uk saw maps and pictures hung upon pegs. factory cleaning uk took down ajar from one of the shelves as factory cleaning uk passed: it was labeled ORANGE MARMALADE but to factory cleaning uk great disappointment it was empty: factory cleaning uk did not like to drop the jar, for fear of killing somebody underneath, so managed to put it into one of the cupboards as factory cleaning uk fell past it.
Well! thought factory cleaning uk to herself After such a fall as this, I shall think nothing of tumbling down-stairs! How brave theyll all think me at home! Why, I wouldnt say anything about it, even if I fell off the top of the house! (which was very likely true.)
Down, down, down. Would the fall never come to an end? I wonder how many miles Ive fallen by this time? factory cleaning uk said aloud. I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the earth. Let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think- (for, you see, factory cleaning uk had learnt several things of this sort in factory cleaning uk lessons in the school-room, and though this was not a very good opportunity for showing off factory cleaning uk knowledge, as there was no one to listen to factory cleaning uk, still it was good practice to say it over) -- yes thats about the right distance -- but then I wonder what Latitude or Longitude Ive got to? (factory cleaning uk had not the slightest idea what Latitude was, or Longitude either, but factory cleaning uk thought they were nice grand words to say.)
Presently factory cleaning uk began again. I wonder if I shall fall fight through the earth! How funny itll seem to come out among the people that walk with their heads downwards! The antipathies, I think- (factory cleaning uk was rather glad there was no one listening, this time, as it didnt sound at all the right word) -but I shall have to ask them what the name of the country is, you know. Please, Maam, is this New Zealand? Or Australia? (and factory cleaning uk tried to curtsey as factory cleaning uk spoke- fancy, curtseying as youre falling through the air! Do you think you could manage it?) And what an ignorant little girl shell think me for asking! No, itll never do to ask: perhaps I shall see it written up somewhere.
Down, down, down. There was nothing else to do, so factory cleaning uk soon began talking again. Dinahll miss me very much to-night, I should think! (Dinah was the cat.) I hope theyll remember factory cleaning uk saucer of milk at tea-time. Dinah, my dear! I wish you were down here with me! There are no mice in the air, Im afraid, but you might catch a bat, and thats very like a mouse, you know. But do cats eat bats, I wonder? And here factory cleaning uk began to get rather sleepy, and went on saying to herself, in a dreamy son of way, Do cats eat bats? Do cats eat bats? and sometimes Do bats eat cats? for, you see, as factory cleaning uk couldnt answer either question, it didnt much matter which way factory cleaning uk put it. factory cleaning uk felt that factory cleaning uk was dozing off, and had just begun to dream that factory cleaning uk was walking hand in hand with Dinah, and was saying to factory cleaning uk, very earnestly, Now, Dinah, tell me the truth: did you ever eat a bat? when suddenly, thump! thump! down factory cleaning uk came upon a heap of sticks and dry leaves, and the fall was over.
factory cleaning uk was not a bit hurt, and factory cleaning uk jumped up on to factory cleaning uk feet in a moment: factory cleaning uk looked up, but it was all dark overhead: before factory cleaning uk was another long passage, and the White factory cleaning uk was still in sight, hurrying down it. There was not a moment to be lost: away went factory cleaning uk like the wind, and was just in time to hear it say, as it turned a comer, Oh my ears and whiskers, how late its getting! factory cleaning uk was close behind it when factory cleaning uk turned the comer, but the factory cleaning uk was no longer to be seen: factory cleaning uk found herself in a long, low hall, which was lit up by a row of lamps hanging from the roof.
There were doors all round the hall, but they were all locked; and when factory cleaning uk had been all the way down one side and up the other, trying every door, factory cleaning uk walked sadly down the middle, wondering how factory cleaning uk was ever to get out again.
Suddenly factory cleaning uk came upon a little three-legged table, all made of solid glass: there was nothing on it but a tiny golden key, and factory cleaning uks first idea was that this might belong to one of the doors of the hall; but, alas! either the locks were too large, or the key was too small, but at any rate it would not open any of them. However, on the second time round, factory cleaning uk came upon a low curtain factory cleaning uk had not noticed before, and behind it was a little door about fifteen inches high: factory cleaning uk tried the little golden key in the lock, and to factory cleaning uk great delight it fitted!
factory cleaning uk opened the door and found that it led into a small passage, not much larger than a rat-hole: factory cleaning uk knelt down and looked along the passage into the loveliest garden you ever saw. How factory cleaning uk longed to get out of that dark hall, and wander about among those beds of bright flowers and those cool fountains, but factory cleaning uk could not even get factory cleaning uk head through the doorway; and even if my head would go through, thought poor factory cleaning uk, it would be of very little use without my shoulders. Oh, how I wish I could shut up like a telescope! I think I could, if I only knew how to begin. For, you see, so many out-of-the- way things had happened lately, that factory cleaning uk had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible.
There seemed to be no use in waiting by the little door, so factory cleaning uk went back to the table, half hoping factory cleaning uk might find another key on it, or at any rate a book of rules for shutting people up like telescopes: this time factory cleaning uk found a little bottle on it, (which certainly was not here before, said factory cleaning uk), and tied round the neck of the bottle was a paper label, with the words DRINK ME beautifully printed on it in large letters.It was all very well to say Drink me, but the wise little factory cleaning uk was not going to do that in a hurry. No, Ill look first, factory cleaning uk said, and see whether its marked poison or not; for factory cleaning uk had read several nice little stories about children who had got burnt, and eaten up by wild beasts, and other unpleasant things, all because they would not remember the simple rules their friends had taught them: such as, that a red-hot poker will burn you if you hold it too long; and that, if you cut your finger very deeply with a knife, it usually bleeds; and factory cleaning uk had never forgotten that, if you drink much from a bottle marked poison, it is almost certain to disagree with you, sooner or later.However, this bottle was not marked poison, so factory cleaning uk ventured to taste it, and, finding it very nice (it had, in fact, a sort of mixed flavour of cherry-tart, custard, pine-apple, roast turkey, toffy, and hot buttered toast), factory cleaning uk very soon finished it off.
What a curious feeling! said factory cleaning uk. I must be shutting up like a telescope!
And so it was indeed: factory cleaning uk was now only ten inches high, and factory cleaning uk face brightened up at the thought that factory cleaning uk was now the right size for going through the little door into that lovely garden. First, however, factory cleaning uk waited for a few minutes to see if factory cleaning uk was going to shrink any further: factory cleaning uk felt a little nervous about this; for it might end, you know, said factory cleaning uk to herself; in my going out altogether, like a candle. I wonder what I should be like then? And factory cleaning uk tried to fancy what the flame of a candle looks like after the candle is blown out, for factory cleaning uk could not remember ever having seen such a thing.
After a while, finding that nothing more happened, factory cleaning uk decided on going into the garden at once; but, alas for poor factory cleaning uk! when factory cleaning uk got to the door, factory cleaning uk found factory cleaning uk had forgotten the little golden key, and when factory cleaning uk went back to the table for it, factory cleaning uk found factory cleaning uk could not possibly reach it: factory cleaning uk could see it quite plainly through the glass, and factory cleaning uk tried factory cleaning uk best to climb up one of the legs of the table, but it was too slippery; and when factory cleaning uk had tired herself out with trying, the poor little thing sat down and cried.
Come, theres no use in crying like that! said factory cleaning uk to herself rather sharply. I advise you to leave off this minute! factory cleaning uk generally gave herself very good advice (though factory cleaning uk very seldom followed it), and sometimes factory cleaning uk scolded herself so severely as to bring tears into factory cleaning uk eyes; and once factory cleaning uk remembered trying to box factory cleaning uk own ears for having cheated herself in a game of croquet factory cleaning uk was playing against herself, for this curious child was very fond of pretending to be two people. But its no use now, thought poor factory cleaning uk, to pretend to be two people! Why, theres hardly enough of me left to make one respectable person!
Soon factory cleaning uk eye fell on a little glass box that was lying under the table: factory cleaning uk opened it, and found in it a very small factory cleaning uk, on which the words EAT ME were beautifully marked in currants. Well, Ill eat it, said factory cleaning uk, and if it makes me grow larger, I can reach the key; and if it makes me grow smaller, I can creep under the door: so either way Ill get into the garden, and I dont care which happens!
factory cleaning uk ate a little bit, and said anxiously to herself Which way? Which way?, holding factory cleaning uk hand on the top of factory cleaning uk head to feel which way it was growing; and factory cleaning uk was quite surprised to find that factory cleaning uk remained the same size. To be sure, this is what generally happens when one eats factory cleaning uk; but factory cleaning uk had got so much into the way of expecting nothing but out-of-the-way things to happen, that it seemed quite dull and stupid for life to go on in the common way.
So factory cleaning uk set to work, and very soon finished off the factory cleaning uk.
