Just then her head struck against the roof of the hall ow cried nimi in pain in fact she was now more than 100 feet high, and she at once took up the little golden key and hurried off to the garden door.

Poor ruby! It was as much as she could do, lying down on one side, to look through into the garden with one eye; but to get through was more hopeless than ever: sniff sniff ii jjust wwana gooogo hoome sniffled nimi the poor thing sat down and began to cry again.

"You sniff ought sniff to sniff be sniff ashamed sniff of yourself," said nimi, "a great girl like you," (she might well say this), "to go on crying in this way! Stop this moment, I tell you!" But she went on all the same, shedding gallons of tears, until there was a large pool all round her, about four inches deep as tears ran down her check and down her big breasts and reaching half down the hall.

After a time she heard a little pattering of feet in the distance, and she hastily dried her eyes and stoood up striking her head against the roof of the hall ow my head nimi said in pain and saw what was coming. It was the White Rabbit returning, splendidly dressed, with a pair of white kid gloves in one hand and a large fan in the other: he came trotting along in a great hurry, muttering to himself as he came, "Oh! the Duchess, the Duchess! Oh! won't she be savage if I've kept her waiting!" nimi felt so desperate that she was ready to ask help of any one; so, when the Rabbit came near her, she began, in a low, timid voice, "If you please, sir—"i t ' s it's a gg ii aa nn tt giant ahh giant help The Rabbit said started violently, dropped his white kid gloves and the fan, and skurried away into the darkness as hard as he could go. wait wait please dont go i mean no harm honest. im just a girl who wants to go home what clumsy rabbit he frogot his gloves and hand fan nimi said to herself it was so hot in the room nimi knelt down and started to fan herself. she looked down at her hands, and was surprised to see that she had put on one of the Rabbit's little white kid gloves had grown giant while she was talking. "How can they have done that?" she thought. "I must be growing small again." She got up and went to the table to measure herself by it, and found that, as nearly as she could guess, she was still 100 feet high, and was going on growing rapidly: she soon found out that the cause of this was the fan she was holding, and she dropped it hastily, just in time to avoid growing any bigger "That was a narrow escape!" said nimi ow her head again hit the roof of the hall "That was a narrow escape!" said nimi good deal frightened at the sudden change, but very glad to find herself still in existence; "and now for the garden!" and she stomped with all her speed back to the little door: but, alas! the little door was shut again, and the little golden key was lying on the glass table as before, "and things are worse than ever," thought the poor child, "for I never was so tall as this before, never! And I declare it's too bad, that it is!"
