    EPIGRAPH: If I could say to you, and make it stick, A girl in a red hat, a woman in blue Reading a letter, a lady weighing gold ...

    EPIGRAPH: Alice took up the fan and gloves, and, as the hall was very hot, she kept fanning herself all the time she went on talking : “ Dear, dear ! How queer everything is to-day ! And yesterday things went on just as usual. I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I ’m not the same, the next question is, Who in the world am I? Ah, that’s the great puzzle !” And she began thinking over all the children she knew, that were of the same age as herself, to see if she could have been changed for any of them. “I’m sure I ’m not Ada,” she said, “ for her hair goes in such long ringlets, and mine doesn’t go in ringlets at all ; and I ’m sure I can ’t be Mabel, for I know all sorts of things, and she, oh! she knows such a very little ! Besides, she’s she, and I’m I, and—oh dear, how puzzling it all is !
