So suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself [[falling|very deep]] down what seemed to be a very deep well.

There was nothing else to do, so Alice soon began [[talking again.]]\n

"I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the earth. Let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, [[I think]]--yes, that's about the right distance--but then I wonder what [[Latitude]] or [[Longitude|Latitude]] I've got to?"\n\n[[Presently she began again.]]

"Do cats eat bats? Do cats eat bats?<<display "repeat_cats">>"\n\nShe felt that she was dozing off, and had just begun to [[dream]].

Would the fall never come to an end!\n"I wonder [[how many miles]] I've fallen by this time?" she said aloud.

She took down a [[jar]] from one of the shelves as she passed.

"I wonder if I shall fall right through the earth! How funny it'll seem to come out among the people that walk with their heads downward! <<insert "The Antipathies, I think">>//(she was rather glad there was no one listening, this time, as it didn't sound at all the right word)//<<endinsert>> -- but I shall have to ask them what the name of the country is, you know.\n<<insert "Please, Ma'am, is this New Zealand or Australia?">>//(and she tried to curtsey as she spoke--fancy curtseying as you're falling through the air!

It was labelled <<insert "'ORANGE MARMALADE'">>, //but to her great disappointment it was empty//<<endinsert>>: she did not like to [[drop the jar]] for fear of killing somebody underneath.\n\n[["Well!"|Well]]

Either the well was very deep or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down to [[look about]] her, and to [[wonder what was going to happen next|happen next]].

In another moment down went Alice [[after it|rabbit-hole]], never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.

And here Alice began to get rather sleepy, and went on saying to herself, in a dreamy sort of way\n"[[Do cats eat bats?]]"
