`How would you like to live in Looking-glass House, Kitty? I
wonder if they'd give you milk in there? Perhaps Looking-glass milk
isn't good to drink -- But oh, Kitty! now we come to the passage.
You can just see a little PEEP of the passage in Looking-glass House,
if you leave the door of our drawing-room wide open: and it's very
like our passage as far as you can see, only you know it may be quite
different on beyond. Oh, Kitty! how nice it would be if we could
only get through into Looking- glass House! I'm sure it's got, oh!
such beautiful things in it!
Let's pretend there's a way of getting through into it, somehow,
Kitty. Let's pretend the glass has got all soft like gauze, so that
we can get through. Why, it's turning into a sort of mist now, I
declare! It'll be easy enough to get through -- ' She was up on the
chimney-piece while she said this, though she hardly knew how she had
got there. And certainly the glass WAS beginning to melt away, just
like a bright silvery mist.
In another moment Alice was through the glass, and had jumped
lightly down into the Looking-glass room. The very first thing she
did was to look whether there was a fire in the fireplace, and she
was quite pleased to find that there was a real one, blazing away as
brightly as the one she had left behind.
