The fall and the locked door to the garden

1 A bright river, daisy field and long green hedge on a hot May afternoon

2 On a hot May afternoon, Alice's sister reads calmly under a leafy tree.

3 Alice lies in the long grass by her reading sister, twirling a daisy

4 On a hot, sleepy afternoon a White Rabbit in a red waistcoat dashes across the grass close to Alice.

5 The White Rabbit stops short in the daisy grass and holds up a gold watch from his waistcoat-pocket.

6 Alice races across the daisy field as the White Rabbit's tail vanishes under the hedge

7 Alice's head and shoulders are already in the dark rabbit-hole under the hedge

8 Alice tips headfirst over the edge of the rabbit-hole into a deep, dark well

9 Alice drifts down a deep well lined with cupboards, book-shelves, maps and pictures

10 Alice drifts slowly down the deep well and peers into the jar she took from a shelf.

11 Falling, Alice slides the empty ORANGE MARMALADE jar onto a passing cupboard shelf

12 Falling down the well, Alice folds her arms and lifts her chin as if posing

13 Alice drifts down the shelved well, counting miles on her fingers

14 Floating down the well, Alice curtseys to a lady who isn't there

15 Still drifting down the deep well, Alice dozes off murmuring "Do cats eat bats?"

16 Alice lands unhurt on a soft heap of sticks and dry leaves at the bottom of the deep well.

17 Alice springs up from the heap of dry leaves at the bottom of the rabbit-hole.

18 Alice rounds the corner at full speed and stops short.

19 In the long, low hall, Alice pulls with all her strength at a locked door.

20 Seen from high above, Alice walks slowly down the middle of the long, lamp-lit hall.

21 Alice has tried every locked door in the long, dim hall.

22 Alice tries the tiny golden key in a huge brass keyhole, but it turns loosely

23 Kneeling in the hall, Alice pulls aside a red curtain and finds a tiny door

24 A child's fingers turn the tiny golden key in the brass lock of a little door

25 Alice kneels in the dim hall and looks down the tiny passage.

26 Alice kneels by the tiny open door, gazing down the passage at the sunlit garden

27 Back at the glass table, Alice finds a little bottle that was not there before

28 Alice is back at the glass table.

29 Alice turns the DRINK ME bottle round, checking every side for the word poison

30 A child's hand turns the little "DRINK ME" bottle in the lamplight to check its last side.

31 In an extreme close-up, Alice drinks from the little "DRINK ME" bottle.

32 The little bottle lies drained on the glass table.

33 Alice has just drunk from the bottle and feels herself shrinking.

34 Alice has shrunk to ten inches tall and stands among the pillar-like legs of the glass table.

35 Alice, now ten inches high, stands still by the glass table, hands on her head

36 Ten inches tall now, Alice reaches the little door behind the red curtain and finds she has no key.

37 Alice is only ten inches tall now.

38 Alice, now tiny after crying, kneels under the tall glass table.

39 Under the glass table, tiny Alice lifts a small cake marked EAT ME in currants

40 Tiny Alice has just taken a bite of the EAT ME cake.

41 Ten-inch Alice sits under the glass table, eating the last crumb of the EAT ME cake

42 Alice has eaten the last of the EAT ME cake.

43 The chapter ends on what is left behind.
