"'I only wish _I_ had such eyes,' the [White] 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!'" * * * * * _A. A. W._, p. 17: "And she [Alice] tried to fancy what the flame of a candle looks like after the candle is blown out, for she could not remember ever having seen such a thing." * * * * * _A. A. W._, p. 68: "... This time it [the Cheshire Cat] vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone. "'Well! I've often seen a cat without a grin,' thought Alice; 'but a grin without a cat! It's the most curious thing I ever saw in all my life!'" * * * * * _A. A. W._, p. 77: "... The Dormouse went on,...; 'and they drew all manner of things--everything that begins with an M.' "'Why with an M?' said Alice. "'Why not?' said the March Hare. "Alice was silent. "... [The Dormouse] went on: '--that begins with an M, such as mouse-traps, and the moon, and memory, and muchness, you know you say things are "much of a muchness"--did you ever see such a thing as a drawing of a muchness?' "'Really, now you ask me,' said Alice, very much confused, 'I don't think----' "'Then you shouldn't talk,' said the Hatter." O. OBJECTS OF MATHEMATICAL LOGIC. _T. L. G._, p. 93: "'I was wondering what the mouse-trap [fastened to the White Knight's saddle] was for,' said Alice. 'It isn't very likely there would be any mice on the horse's back.' "'Not very likely, perhaps,' said the Knight, 'but, if they _do_ come, I don't choose to have them running all about.' "'You see,' he went on after a pause, 'it's as well to be provided for _everything_. That's the reason the horse has all these anklets round his feet.' "'But what are they for?' Alice asked in a tone of great curiosity. "'To guard against the bites of sharks,' the Knight replied." P. THE PRINCIPLE OF PERMANENCE. _T. L. G._, p. 106: "'Can you do Subtraction? [said the Red Queen] Take nine from eight.' "'Nine from eight I can't, you know,' Alice replied very readily 'but--' "'She can't do Substraction,' said the White Queen." * * * * * _A. A. W._, p. 56: [Said the Pigeon to Alice]: "'... No, no! You're a serpent; and there's no use denying it. I suppose you'll be telling me next that you never tasted an egg!' "'I _have_ tasted eggs certainly,' said Alice, who was a very truthful child; 'but little girls eat eggs quite as much as serpents do, you know.' "'I don't believe it,' said the Pigeon; 'but if they do, why then they're a kind of serpent, that's all I can say.'
