　　The Red Queen shook her head, "You may call it "nonsense" if you like," she said, "but I'vE heard nonsense, compared with which that would be as sensible as a dictionary!"

　　Alice curtseyed again, as she was afraid from the Queen's tone that she was a LITTLE offended: and they walked on in silence till they got to the top of the little hill.

　　For some minutes Alice stood without speaking, looking out in all directions over the country——and a most curious country it was. There were a number of tiny little brooks running straight across it from side to side, and the ground between was divided up into squares by a number of little green hedges, that reached from brook to brook.

　　"I declare it's marked out just like a large chessboard!" Alice said at last. "There ought to be some men moving about somewhere ——and so there are!" She added in a tone of delight, and her heart began to beat quick with excitement as she went on. "It's a great huge game of chess that's being played——all over the world——if this IS the world at all, you know. Oh, what fun it is! How I WISH I was one of them! I wouldn't mind being a Pawn, if only I might join——though of course I should LIKE to be a Queen, best."

　　She glanced rather shyly at the real Queen as she said this, but her companion only smiled pleasantly, and said, "That's easily managed. You can be the White Queen's Pawn, if you like, as Lily's too young to play; and you're in the Second Square to began with: when you get to the Eighth Square you'll be a Queen ——" Just at this moment, somehow or other, they began to run.

　　Alice never could quite make out, in thinking it over afterwards, how it was that they began: all she remembers is, that they were running hand in hand, and the Queen went so fast that it was all she could do to keep up with her: and still the Queen kept crying "Faster! Faster!" but Alice felt she COULD NOT go faster, though she had not breath left to say so.
