Inside the hall, the door was shut. Ten-inch-tall poor Alice found a cake on the floor. She soon ate it all.
“How strange! How tall I am!” said Alice. She was now over nine feet tall, which meant she still couldn’t get through the door. She sat down, and had a good cry till there was a large pool of tears round her.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of feet. It was the Rabbit returning, with a fan in his hand. Alice felt so in need of help from someone that when he came near, she called out, “If you please, sir...” The Rabbit dropped the fan and ran off as fast as possible.
Alice picked up the fan and as the hall was hot, she fanned herself. “How strange all things are today! I do wish to get out of the hall! ▲ ” she said.
Then she noticed herself in the glass—she was now about two feet tall, and still shrinking quite fast. That was the fan! She realized this and dropped it at once, or she would shrink to the size of an ant soon.
Alice was afraid of the quick change. “How can I get out?” As she said these words, her foot slipped and she was up to her chin in salt water.
Just then, Alice noticed a mouse swimming towards her.
“Will it be useful now to speak to this mouse? All things are so strange here. I should think maybe it can talk. At least there’s no harm in trying.” So she swam up.
