4 `I dare say you're wondering why I don't put my arm round your
5waist,' the Duchess said after a pause: `the reason is, that I'm
6doubtful about the temper of your flamingo. Shall I try the
7experiment?'

9 By the time she had caught the flamingo and brought it back,
10the fight was over, and both the hedgehogs were out of sight:
11`but it doesn't matter much,' thought Alice, `as all the arches
12are gone from the side of the ground.' So she tucked it away
13under her arm, that it might not escape again, and went back for
14a little more conversation with her friend.

16 The hedgehog was engaged in a fight with another hedgehog,
17which seemed to Alice an excellent opportunity for croqueting one
18of them with the other: the only difficulty was, that her
19flamingo was gone across to the other side of the garden, where
20Alice could see it trying in a helpless sort of way to fly up
21into a tree.

23 Alice waited till the eyes appeared, and then nodded. `It's no
24use speaking to it,' she thought, `till its ears have come, or at
25least one of them.' In another minute the whole head appeared,
26and then Alice put down her flamingo, and began an account of the
27game, feeling very glad she had someone to listen to her. The
28Cat seemed to think that there was enough of it now in sight, and
29no more of it appeared.

31 The chief difficulty Alice found at first was in managing her
32flamingo: she succeeded in getting its body tucked away,
33comfortably enough, under her arm, with its legs hanging down,
34but generally, just as she had got its neck nicely straightened
35out, and was going to give the hedgehog a blow with its head, it
36WOULD twist itself round and look up in her face, with such a
37puzzled expression that she could not help bursting out laughing:
38and when she had got its head down, and was going to begin again,
39it was very provoking to find that the hedgehog had unrolled
40itself, and was in the act of crawling away: besides all this,
41there was generally a ridge or furrow in the way wherever she
42wanted to send the hedgehog to, and, as the doubled-up soldiers
43were always getting up and walking off to other parts of the
44ground, Alice soon came to the conclusion that it was a very
45difficult game indeed.
