THE RABBIT-HOLE WENT STRAIGHT ON LIKE A TUNNEL FOR SOME WAY, AND THEN DIPPED SUDDENLY
DOWN, SO SUDDENLY THAT ALICE HAD NOT A MOMENT TO THINK ABOUT STOPPING HERSELF BEFORE
SHE FOUND HERSELF FALLING DOWN A VERY DEEP WELL.
EITHER THE WELL WAS VERY DEEP, OR SHE FELL VERY SLOWLY, FOR SHE HAD PLENTY OF TIME AS SHE
WENT DOWN TO LOOK ABOUT HER AND TO WONDER WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT. FIRST, SHE
TRIED TO LOOK DOWN AND MAKE OUT WHAT SHE WAS COMING TO, BUT IT WAS TOO DARK TO SEE
ANYTHING; THEN SHE LOOKED AT THE SIDES OF THE WELL, AND NOTICED THAT THEY WERE FILLED WITH
CUPBOARDS AND BOOK-SHELVES; HERE AND THERE SHE SAW MAPS AND PICTURES HUNG UPON PEGS.
SHE TOOK DOWN A JAR FROM ONE OF THE SHELVES AS SHE PASSED; IT WAS LABELLED `ORANGE
MARMALADE', BUT TO HER GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT IT WAS EMPTY: SHE DID NOT LIKE TO DROP THE
JAR FOR FEAR OF KILLING SOMEBODY, SO MANAGED TO PUT IT INTO ONE OF THE CUPBOARDS AS SHE
FELL PAST IT.
`WELL!' THOUGHT ALICE TO HERSELF, `AFTER SUCH A FALL AS THIS, I SHALL THINK NOTHING OF
TUMBLING DOWN STAIRS! HOW BRAVE THEY'LL ALL THINK ME AT HOME! WHY, I WOULDN'T SAY
ANYTHING ABOUT IT, EVEN IF I FELL OFF THE TOP OF THE HOUSE!' (WHICH WAS VERY LIKELY TRUE.)
