The Pool of Tears

: Chapter Two opens with Alice growing to such a

tremendous

size

her

head

hits

the

ceiling.

Alice

is

unhappy

and,

as

she

cries,

her

tears flood the hallway. After shrinking down again due to a fan she had picked up,

Alice

swims

through her

own

tears and

meets

a

Mouse

,

who

is

swimming

as

well.

She tries to

make

small

talk

with

him

in

elementary

French

(thinking he

may

be

a

French

mouse)

but

opening

gambit

The

Caucus

Race

and

a

Long

Tale

:

The

sea

of

tears

becomes

crowded

with

other

animals

and

birds

that

have

been

swept

away

by

the

rising

waters. Alice and the other animals convene on the bank and the question among

them is how to get dry again. The Mouse gives them a very dry lecture on

William

the

Conqueror

.

A

Dodo

decides

that

the

best

thing

to

dry

them

off

would

be

a

Caucus-Race,

which

consists

of

everyone

running

in

a

circle

with

no

clear

winner.

Alice

eventually

frightens

all

the

animals

away,

unwittingly,

by

talking

about

her

(moderately ferocious) cat.

The

Rabbit

Sends

a

Little

Bill

:

The

White

Rabbit

appears

again

in

search of the Duchess's gloves and fan. Mistaking her for his maidservant, Mary Ann,

he orders Alice to go into the house and retrieve them, but once she gets inside she

starts growing. The horrified Rabbit orders his gardener,

Bill the Lizard

, to climb on

the roof and go down the chimney. Outside, Alice hears the voices of animals that

have gathered to gawk at her giant arm. The crowd hurls pebbles at her, which turn

into little cakes. Alice eats them, and they reduce her again in size.

Chapter Five

–

Advice from a Caterpillar

: Alice comes upon a mushroom and sitting

on it is a blue

Caterpillar

smoking a

hookah

. The Caterpillar questions Alice and she

admits

to

her

current

identity

crisis,

compounded

by

her

inability

to

remember

a

poem.

Before

crawling

away,

the

caterpillar

tells

Alice

that

one

side

of

the

mushroom will make her taller and the other side will make her shorter. She breaks

off

two

pieces

from

the

mushroom.

One

side

makes

her

shrink

smaller

than

ever,

while another causes her neck to grow high into the trees, where a pigeon mistakes

her for a serpent. With some effort, Alice brings herself back to her normal height.

She

stumbles

upon

a

small

estate

and

uses

the

mushroom

to

reach

a

more

appropriate height.

Chapter Six

–

Pig and Pepper

: A Fish-Footman has an invitation for the

Duchess

of

the house, which he delivers to a Frog-Footman. Alice observes this transaction and,

after

a

perplexing

conversation

with

the

frog,

lets

herself

into

the

house.

The

Duchess's

Cook

is

throwing

dishes

and

making

a

soup

that

has

too

much

pepper,

which causes Alice, the Duchess, and her baby (but not the cook or grinning

Cheshire

Cat

) to sneeze violently. Alice is given the baby by the Duchess and to her surprise,

the

baby

turns

into

a

pig.

The

Cheshire

Cat

appears

in

a

tree,

directing

her

to

the

March

Hare

's

house.

He

disappears

but

his

grin

remains

behind

to

float

on

its

own in the air prompting Alice to remark that she has often seen a cat without a grin

but never a grin without a cat.

Chapter Seven

–

A Mad Tea- Party

: Alice becomes a guest at a

with

the

March

Hare

,

the

Hatter

,

a

very

tired

Dormouse

asleep

frequently,

only

to

be

violently

woken

up

moments

later

by

the

March

Hare

and

the

Hatter

. The characters give Alice many riddles and stories, including the famous

'

Why

is

a

raven

like

a

writing

desk

'.

The

Hatter

reveals

that

they

have

tea

all

day

because Time has punished him by eternally standing still at 6 pm (tea time). Alice

becomes insulted and tired of being bombarded with riddles and she leaves claiming

that it was the stupidest tea party that she had ever been to.
