Alice in Wonderland (18)

" Pat, Pat, Digging for Apples, indeed ! " said the Rabbit angrily.
" Now tell me what's that in the window ? "

" Sure, it's an arm, yer honour. "

" An arm, you goose ! Who ever saw one that size ? Why, it fills the whole window ? "

" Sure, it does, yer honour. " said Pat.

" Well,  it's got no business there, at any rate. Go and take it away. "

There was a long silence after this, and Alice could only whispers now and then; such as " Sure, I don't like it, yer honour, at all, at all !" " Do as I tell you, you coward ! "

She waited fr some time without hearing anything more; at last came a rumbling of little cartswheels, and the sound of a many voices all talking together.

Alice tried to pick up the words.

" Where's the other ladder ?  Bill's got to the other."
"Bill, here, put them up at this cornerーNo, tie them together first with a rope ーthey don't reach half high enough yetーOh, they'll do well enoughーHere Bill ! catch hold of this ropeーwho's go down the chimney ?ーMind that loose slate"



Someone shouted,  "Here  Bill ! Master says you're to go down the chimney ! "

" Oh, So Bill's got to come down the chimney, " said Alice to herself.

Alice drew her foot as far down the chimney as she could, and waited for a moment to give Bill time to climb the ladder.

When she heard a little animal (she couldn't guess of what sort it was ) scratching and scrambling about in the chimney almost above her, she gave one shrap kick up the chimney, and waited to see what would happen next.
