![]() ![]() Readers of the Wonderland will be sorry to hear that it is their old friend the Hatter who is in this predicament. People live backwards too, and their memory consequently works forward thus there is an unfortunate person whom we find undergoing sentence in prison "the trial doesn't even begin until Wednesday, and the crime comes last of all". One very natural peculiarity of Looking-glass House is that most things in it are exactly reversed accordingly if you want to go anywhere you have to turn round and walk the other way. "You can just see a little peep of the passage in 'Looking-glass House' if you leave the door of the drawing room wide open and it's very like our passage as far as you see, only you know it might be quite different on beyond."Īnd very different on beyond it proves to be when Alice one day in a dream walks through the looking-glass and explores it. The realm of marvels which she visits on this occasion is "Looking-glass House" in the drawing-room: but her curiosity is strongly excited about the rest. ![]()
