Following up on last nights (detour) digg, here is more imagery and links to Alice In Wonderland that I think are in context with Q Posts past (as per old bread) and current.
Sparks? Here is a link to the text. And below are some snippets I plucked out based on, dunno, intuition. We have Q = Alice, yes. We have HRC = Alice in Bloody Wonderland, yes. When is each Alice? Hmmm. Expand thinking?
Part 1
Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland
https://medium.com/alice-s-adventures-in-wonderland
An online annotated edition featuring twelve Lewis Carroll scholars taking one chapter each, plus new artwork and remixes from classic 1865 and 1905 illustrations. A joint project from The Public Domain Review and Medium, on the occasion of the story’s 150th anniversary.
Chapter 4
The Rabbit Sends in a Little Bill
Snippets of current note?
“He took me for his housemaid,” she said to herself as she ran. “How surprised he’ll be when he finds out who I am!"
–
"Only I don’t think,” Alice went on, “that they’d let Dinah stop in the house if it began ordering people about like that!” [Dinah is Alice's cat]
–
“I know something interesting is sure to happen,” she said to herself, “whenever I eat or drink anything; so I’ll just see what this bottle does. I do hope it’ll make me grow large again, for really I’m quite tired of being such a tiny little thing!”
–
"When I used to read fairy-tales, I fancied that kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of one! There ought to be a book written about me, that there ought! And when I grow up, I’ll write one — but I’m grown up now,’ she added in a sorrowful tone; `at least there’s no room to grow up any more here.”
“But then,” thought Alice, “shall I never get any older than I am now? That’ll be a comfort, one way — never to be an old woman — but then — always to have lessons to learn! Oh, I shouldn’t like that!”
–
“Now tell me, Pat, what’s that in the window?”
“Sure, it’s an arm, yer honour!” (He pronounced it “arrum.”)
Illustration remix by Anna Vignet.
“An arm, you goose! Who ever saw one that size? Why, it fills the whole window!”
“Sure, it does, yer honour: but it’s an arm for all that.”
“Well, it’s got no business there, at any rate: go and take it away!”
–
"Bill’s to go down — Here, Bill! the master says you’re to go down the chimney!”
“Oh! So Bill’s got to come down the chimney, has he?” said Alice to herself. “Shy, they seem to put everything upon Bill! I wouldn’t be in Bill’s place for a good deal: this fireplace is narrow, to be sure; but Ithink I can kick a little!”
She drew her foot as far down the chimney as she could, and waited till she heard a little animal (she couldn’t guess of what sort it was) scratching and scrambling about in the chimney close above her: then, saying to herself “This is Bill,” she gave one sharp kick, and waited to see what would happen next.
The first thing she heard was a general chorus of `There goes Bill!’ then the Rabbit’s voice along — “Catch him, you by the hedge!” then silence, and then another confusion of voices — “Hold up his head — Brandy now — Don’t choke him — How was it, old fellow? What happened to you? Tell us all about it!”
Last came a little feeble, squeaking voice, (“That’s Bill,” thought Alice,) “Well, I hardly know — No more, thank ye; I’m better now — but I’m a deal too flustered to tell you — all I know is, something comes at me like a Jack-in-the-box, and up I goes like a sky-rocket!”
“So you did, old fellow!” said the others.
“We must burn the house down!” said the Rabbit’s voice; and Alice called out as loud as she could, “If you do. I’ll set Dinah at you!”
–
It sounded an excellent plan, no doubt, and very neatly and simply arranged; the only difficulty was, that she had not the smallest idea how to set about it.
–
"Oh dear! I’d nearly forgotten that I’ve got to grow up again! Let me see — how is it to be managed? I suppose I ought to eat or drink something or other; but the great question is, what?”
