She was getting a little giddy with so much floating in the air, and
was rather glad to find herself walking again in the natural way.
CHAPTER II
The Garden of Live Flowers
`I should see the garden far better,' said Alice to herself, `if I
could get to the top of that hill: and here's a path that leads
straight to it -- at least, no, it doesn't do that -- ' (after going
a few yards along the path, and turning several sharp corners), `but
I suppose it will at last. But how curiously it twists! It's more
like a corkscrew than a path! Well, THIS turn goes to the hill, I
suppose -- no, it doesn't! This goes straight back to the house!
Well then, I'll try it the other way.'
And so she did: wandering up and down, and trying turn after turn,
but always coming back to the house, do what she would. Indeed, once,
when she turned a corner rather more quickly than usual, she ran
against it before she could stop herself.
`It's no use talking about it," Alice said, looking up at the house
and pretending it was arguing with her. `I'm NOT going in again yet.
I know I should have to get through the Looking-glass again -- back
into the old room -- and there'd be an end of all my adventures!'
So, resolutely turning back upon the house, she set out once more
down the path, determined to keep straight on till she got to the
hill.
