So she sat on, with closed eyes, and half believed herself in
Wonderland, though she knew she had but to open them again, and
all would change to dull reality--the grass would be only rustling in
the wind, and the pool rippling to the waving of the reeds--the
rattling teacups would change to tinkling sheep- bells, and the
Queen's shrill cries to the voice of the shepherd boy--and the
sneeze
of the baby, the shriek of the Gryphon, and all thy other queer noises,
would change (she knew)
to the confused clamour of the busy farm-yard--while the lowing of
the cattle in
the distance would take the place of the Mock Turtle's heavy sobs.
