They were indeed a queer-looking party that assembled on the bank\u2014the the birds raggled feathers, the animals with their fur clinging close to them, and all dripping wet, cross, and uncomfortable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first question of course was, how to get dry again: they had a consultation about this, and after a few minutes it seemed quite natural to Alice to find herself talking familiarly with them, as if she had known them all her life. Indeed, she had quite a long argument with the Lory, who at last turned sulky, and would only say, \u2018I am older than you, and must know better\u2019; and this Alice would not allow without knowing how old it was, and, as the Lory positively refused to tell its age, there was no more to be said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n At last the Mouse, who seemed to be a person of authority among them,\n called out, \u2018Sit down, all of you, and listen to me! I\u2019ll<\/em> soon make you\n dry enough!\u2019 They all sat down at once, in a large ring, with the Mouse in\n the middle. Alice kept her eyes anxiously fixed on it, for she felt sure\n she would catch a bad cold if she did not get dry very soon.\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Donuts. Is there anything they can’t do?<\/p>Homer Simpson<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n \u2018Ahem!\u2019 said the Mouse with an important air, \u2018are you all ready? This is the driest thing I know. Silence all round, if you please! \u201cWilliam the Conqueror, whose cause was favoured by the pope, was soon submitted to by the English, who wanted leaders, and had been of late much accustomed to usurpation and conquest. Edwin and Morcar, the earls of Mercia and Northumbria\u2014\u201c\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Alice replied eagerly, for she was always ready to talk about her pet: \u2018Dinah\u2019s our cat. And she\u2019s such a capital one for catching mice you can\u2019t think! And oh, I wish you could see her after the birds! Why, she\u2019ll eat a little bird as soon as look at it!\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n \n This speech caused a remarkable sensation among the party. Some of the\n birds hurried off at once: one old Magpie began wrapping itself up very\n carefully, remarking, \u2018I really must be getting home; the night-air\n doesn\u2019t suit my throat!\u2019 and a Canary called out in a trembling voice to\n its children, \u2018Come away, my dears! It\u2019s high time you were all in bed!\u2019\n On various pretexts they all moved off, and Alice was soon left alone.\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2018I wish I hadn\u2019t mentioned Dinah!\u2019 she said to herself in a melancholy tone. \u2018Nobody seems to like her, down here, and I\u2019m sure she\u2019s the best cat in the world! Oh, my dear Dinah! I wonder if I shall ever see you any more!\u2019 And here poor Alice began to cry again, for she felt very lonely and low-spirited. In a little while, however, she again heard a little pattering of footsteps in the distance, and she looked up eagerly, half hoping that the Mouse had changed his mind, and was coming back to finish his story. <\/p>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" They were indeed a queer-looking party that assembled on the bank\u2014the the birds raggled feathers, the animals with their fur clinging close to them, and all dripping wet, cross, and uncomfortable.
