They all sat down at once, in a large + ring, with the Mouse in the middle.</p> + + <p>"Ahem!" said the Mouse with an important air. "Are you all ready? This is the driest + thing I know. Silence all 'round, if you please!

The question is, what did the archbishop find?"</p> + + <p>The Mouse did not notice this question, but hurriedly went on, "'—found it + advisable to go with Edgar Atheling to meet William and offer him the crown.'—How + are you getting on now, my dear?" it continued, turning to Alice as it spoke.</p> + + <p>"As wet as ever," said Alice in a melancholy tone; "it doesn't seem to dry me at + all."</p> + + <p>"In that case," said the Dodo solemnly, rising to its feet, "I move that the meeting + adjourn, for the immediate adoption of more energetic remedies—"<a id="Page_16" + class="pageno" title="[Pg 16]"></a></p> + + <p>"Speak English!" said the Eaglet. "I don't know the meaning of half those long + words, and, what's more, I don't believe you do either!"</p> + + <p>"What I was going to say," said the Dodo in an offended tone, "is that the best + thing to get us dry would be a Caucus-race."</p> + + <p>"What <i>is</i> a Caucus-race?" said Alice.</p> + + <figure class="small"> + <img src="images/i009_th.jpg" alt="Illo9" /> + </figure> + + <p>"Why," said the Dodo, "the best way to explain it is to do it." First it marked out + a race-course, in a sort of circle, and then all the party were placed along the + course, here and there. There was no "One, two, three and away!" but they began running + when they liked and left off when they liked, so that it was not easy to know when the + race was over. However, when they had been running half an hour or so and were quite + dry again, the Dodo suddenly called out, "The race is over!" and they all crowded + 'round it, panting and asking, "But who has won?"<a id="Page_17" class="pageno" title= + "[Pg 17]"></a></p> + + <p>This question the Dodo could not answer without a great deal of thought. At last it + said, "<i>Everybody</i> has won, and <i>all</i> must have prizes."</p> + + <p>"But who is to give the prizes?" quite a chorus of voices asked.</p> + + <p>"Why, <i>she</i>, of course," said the Dodo, pointing to Alice with one finger; and + the whole party at once crowded 'round her, calling out, in a confused way, "Prizes! + Prizes!"</p> + + <p>Alice had no idea what to do, and in despair she put her hand into her pocket and + pulled out a box of comfits (luckily the salt-water had not got into it) and handed + them 'round as prizes. There was exactly one a-piece, all 'round.</p> + + <p>The next thing was to eat the comfits; this caused some noise and confusion, as the + large birds complained that they could not taste theirs, and the small ones choked and + had to be patted on the back. However, it was over at last and they sat down again in a + ring and begged the Mouse to tell them something more.</p> + + <p>"You promised to tell me your history, you know," said Alice, "and why it is you + hate—C and D," she added in a whisper, half afraid that it would be offended + again.</p> + + <p>"Mine is a long and a sad tale!" said the Mouse, turning to Alice and sighing.</p> + + <p>"It <i>is</i> a long tail, certainly," said Alice, looking down with wonder at the + Mouse's tail, "but why do you call it sad?" And she kept on puzzling about it while the + Mouse was speaking, so that her idea of the tale was something like this:<a id= + "Page_18" class="pageno" title="[Pg 18]"></a>—</p> + + <div class="poem stanza"> + <span class="i1">"Fury said to<br /></span> <span class="i2">a mouse, + That<br /></span> <span class="i3">he met in the<br /></span> <span class="i4">house, + 'Let<br /></span> <span class="i5">us both go<br /></span> <span class="i6">to law: + <i>I</i><br /></span> <span class="i6 c9">will prosecute<br /></span> <span class= + "i6 c9"><i>you</i>.—<br /></span> <span class="i6 c9">Come, I'll<br /></span> + <span class="i5 c9">take no denial:<br /></span> <span class="c20"><span class= + "i4 c9">We must have<br /></span> <span class="i3 c10">the trial;<br /></span> + <span class="i2 c10">For really<br /></span> <span class="i1 c10">this + morning<br /></span> <span class="i0 c10">I've<br /></span> <span class= + "i0 c10">nothing<br /></span> <span class="i0 c11">to do.'<br /></span> <span class= + "i1 c11">Said the<br /></span> <span class="i2 c11">mouse to<br /></span> + <span class="c19"><span class="i3 c11">the cur,<br /></span> <span class= + "i4 c11">'Such a<br /></span> <span class="i5 c12">trial, dear<br /></span> + <span class="i6 c12">sir, With<br /></span> <span class="i8 c12">no jury<br /></span> + <span class="i9 c12">or judge,<br /></span> <span class="i9 c12">would<br /></span> + <span class="i8 c13">be wasting<br /></span> <span class="i7 c13">our<br /></span> + <span class="c18"><span class="i5 c13">breath.'<br /></span> <span class= + "i4 c13">'I'll be<br /></span> <span class="i3 c13">judge,<br /></span> <span class= + "i2 c14">I'll be<br /></span> <span class="i1 c14">jury,'<br /></span> <span class= + "i0 c14">said<br /></span> <span class="i0 c14">cunning<br /></span> <span class= + "i1 c14">old<br /></span> <span class="i2 c15">Fury;<br /></span> <span class= + "c17"><span class="i3 c15">'I'll<br /></span> <span class="i4 c15">try<br /></span> + <span class="i5 c15">the<br /></span> <span class="i6 c15">whole<br /></span> + <span class="i7 c16">cause,<br /></span> <span class="i7 c16">and<br /></span> + <span class="i6 c16">condemn<br /></span> <span class="i5 c16">you to<br /></span> + <span class="i3 c16">death.'"<br /></span></span></span></span></span> + </div> + + <p><a id="Page_19" class="pageno" title="[Pg 19]"></a>"You are not attending!" said the + Mouse to Alice, severely.

On various pretexts they all moved off and Alice was soon left alone.</p> + + <p>"I wish I hadn't mentioned Dinah! Nobody seems to like her down here and I'm sure + she's the best cat in the world!" Poor Alice began to cry again, for she felt very + lonely and low-spirited.
