The long grass rustled at her feet as the White Rabbit hurried by–the frightened Mouse splashed his way through the neighbouring pool–she could hear the rattle of the teacups as the March Hare and his friends shared their never-ending meal, and the shrill voice of the Queen ordering off her unfortunate guests to execution–once more the pig-baby was sneezing on the Duchess’s knee, while plates and dishes crashed around it–once more the shriek of the Gryphon, the squeaking of the Lizard’s slate-pencil, and the choking of the suppressed guinea-pigs, filled the air, mixed up with the distant sobs of the miserable Mock Turtle.
So she sat on, with closed eyes, and half believed herself in Wonderland, though she knew she had but to open them again, and all would change to dull reality–the grass would be only rustling in the wind, and the pool rippling to the waving of the reeds–the rattling teacups would change to tinkling sheep- bells, and the Queen’s shrill cries to the voice of the shepherd boy–and the sneeze of the baby, the shriek of the Gryphon, and all thy other queer noises, would change (she knew) to the confused clamour of the busy farm-yard–while the lowing of the cattle in the distance would take the place of the Mock Turtle’s heavy sobs.
Lastly, she pictured to herself how this same little sister of hers would, in the after-time, be herself a grown woman; and how she would keep, through all her riper years, the simple and loving heart of her childhood: and how she would gather about her other little children, and make THEIR eyes bright and eager with many a strange tale, perhaps even with the dream of Wonderland of long ago: and how she would feel with all their simple sorrows, and find a pleasure in all their simple joys, remembering her own child-life, and the happy summer days.

A United Airlines flight from Rome to Chicago was diverted to Ireland over a security issue, the airline told CNBC.
United flight 971, which departed from Rome just after 10:30 a.m. local time, was scheduled to land at O'Hare International Airport at around 2 p.m. CST.
After roughly four hours in the air, the flight was diverted to Shannon Airport in Ireland "following a potential security concern," United Airlines said in a statement.
"Additional security screenings will be performed on all customers and baggage, and we will work to get customers on their way to Chicago as quickly as possible," the statement continued.

Justice IG: FBI cheated on test of rules
Agents shared answers, book
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/sep/27/fbi-agents-cheated-domestic-investigations-tests/
Hundreds of FBI agents, including the head of the Washington field office and several supervisors, cheated on a mandatory test of new procedures employees must follow when conducting investigations of U.S. citizens — the Justice Department inspector general said in the second critical report handed down against the bureau in recent weeks.
The 35-page report issued Monday said that a limited review of allegations that agents improperly took the open-book test on the Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide together or had access to an answer sheet has turned up “significant abuses and cheating.”
The inspector general’s report said a “significant number of FBI employees” engaged in some form of cheating or improper conduct on the guide exam, some in clear violation of FBI directives regarding the exam. Suspicions of cheating were raised when more than 200 employees passed the 90-minute exam in 20 minutes.
