An Improvement on Jacob's Ladder In the morning of the day after that on which I swore my oath against the Six , I gave certain orders , and then rested in greater contentment than I had known for some time . I was at work ; and work , though it can not cure love , is yet a narcotic to it ; so that Sapt , who grew feverish , marvelled to see me sprawling in an armchair in the sunshine , listening to one of my friends who sang me amorous songs in a mellow voice and induced in me a pleasing melancholy . Thus was I engaged when young Rupert Hentzau , who feared neither man nor devil , and rode through the demesne – where every tree might hide a marksman , for all he knew – as though it had been the park at Strelsau , cantered up to where I lay , bowing with burlesque deference , and craving private speech with me in order to deliver a message from the Duke of Strelsau . I made all withdraw , and then he said , seating himself by me : " The King is in love , it seems ? " " Not with life , my lord , " said I , smiling . " It is well , " he rejoined . " Come , we are alone , Rassendyll – " I rose to a sitting posture . " What 's the matter ? " he asked . " I was about to call one of my gentlemen to bring your horse , my lord . If you do not know how to address the King , my brother must find another messenger . " " Why keep up the farce ? " he asked , negligently dusting his boot with his glove . " Because it is not finished yet ; and meanwhile I 'll choose my own name . " " Oh , so be it ! Yet I spoke in love for you ; for indeed you are a man after my own heart . " " Saving my poor honesty , " said I , " maybe I am . But that I keep faith with men , and honour with women , maybe I am , my lord . " He darted a glance at me – a glance of anger . " Is your mother dead ? " said I. " Ay , she 's dead . " " She may thank God , " said I , and I heard him curse me softly . " Well , what 's the message ? " I continued . I had touched him on the raw , for all the world knew he had broken his mother's heart and flaunted his mistresses in her house ; and his airy manner was gone for the moment . " The duke offers you more than I would , " he growled . " A halter for you , sire , was my suggestion . But he offers you safe-conduct across the frontier and a million crowns . " " I prefer your offer , my lord , if I am bound to one . " " You refuse ? " " Of course . " " I told Michael you would ; " and the villain , his temper restored , gave me the sunniest of smiles . " The fact is , between ourselves , " he continued , " Michael does n't understand a gentleman . " I began to laugh . " And you ? " I asked . " I do , " he said . " Well , well , the halter be it . " " I 'm sorry you wo n't live to see it , " I observed . " Has his Majesty done me the honour to fasten a particular quarrel on me ? " " I would you were a few years older , though . " " Oh , God gives years , but the devil gives increase , " laughed he . " I can hold my own . " " How is your prisoner ? " I asked . " The K – ? " " Your prisoner . " " I forgot your wishes , sire . Well , he is alive . " He rose to his feet ; I imitated him . Then , with a smile , he said : " And the pretty princess ? Faith , I 'll wager the next Elphberg will be red enough , for all that Black Michael will be called his father . " I sprang a step towards him , clenching my hand . He did not move an inch , and his lip curled in insolent amusement . " Go , while your skin's whole ! " I muttered . He had repaid me with interest my hit about his mother . Then came the most audacious thing I have known in my life . My friends were some thirty yards away . Rupert called to a groom to bring him his horse , and dismissed the fellow with a crown . The horse stood near . I stood still , suspecting nothing . Rupert made as though to mount ; then he suddenly turned to me : his left hand resting in his belt , his right outstretched : " Shake hands , " he said . I bowed , and did as he had foreseen – I put my hands behind me . Quicker than thought , his left hand darted out at me , and a small dagger flashed in the air ; he struck me in the left shoulder – had I not swerved , it had been my heart . With a cry , I staggered back . Without touching the stirrup , he leapt upon his horse and was off like an arrow , pursued by cries and revolver shots – the last as useless as the first – and I sank into my chair , bleeding profusely , as I watched the devil's brat disappear down the long avenue . My friends surrounded me , and then I fainted . I suppose that I was put to bed , and there lay , unconscious , or half conscious , for many hours ; for it was night when I awoke to my full mind , and found Fritz beside me . I was weak and weary , but he bade me be of good cheer , saying that my wound would soon heal , and that meanwhile all had gone well , for Johann , the keeper , had fallen into the snare we had laid for him , and was even now in the house . " And the queer thing is , " pursued Fritz , " that I fancy he 's not altogether sorry to find himself here . He seems to think that when Black Michael has brought off his coup , witnesses of how it was effected – saving , of course , the Six themselves – will not be at a premium . " This idea argued a shrewdness in our captive which led me to build hopes on his assistance . I ordered him to be brought in at once . Sapt conducted him , and set him in a chair by my bedside . He was sullen , and afraid ; but , to say truth , after young Rupert's exploit , we also had our fears , and , if he got as far as possible from Sapt's formidable six-shooter , Sapt kept him as far as he could from me . Moreover , when he came in his hands were bound , but that I would not suffer . I need not stay to recount the safeguards and rewards we promised the fellow – all of which were honourably observed and paid , so that he lives now in prosperity ( though where I may not mention ) ; and we were the more free inasmuch as we soon learnt that he was rather a weak man than a wicked , and had acted throughout this matter more from fear of the duke and of his own brother Max than for any love of what was done . But he had persuaded all of his loyalty ; and though not in their secret counsels , was yet , by his knowledge of their dispositions within the Castle , able to lay bare before us the very heart of their devices . And here , in brief , is his story : Below the level of the ground in the Castle , approached by a flight of stone steps which abutted on the end of the drawbridge , were situated two small rooms , cut out of the rock itself . The outer of the two had no windows , but was always lighted with candles ; the inner had one square window , which gave upon the moat . In the outer room there lay always , day and night , three of the Six ; and the instructions of Duke Michael were , that on any attack being made on the outer room , the three were to defend the door of it so long as they could without risk to themselves . But , so soon as the door should be in danger of being forced , then Rupert Hentzau or Detchard ( for one of these two was always there ) should leave the others to hold it as long as they could , and himself pass into the inner room , and , without more ado , kill the King who lay there , well-treated indeed , but without weapons , and with his arms confined in fine steel chains , which did not allow him to move his elbow more than three inches from his side . Thus , before the outer door were stormed , the King would be dead . And his body ? For his body would be evidence as damning as himself . " Nay , sir , " said Johann , " his Highness has thought of that . While the two hold the outer room , the one who has killed the King unlocks the bars in the square window ( they turn on a hinge ) . The window now gives no light , for its mouth is choked by a great pipe of earthenware ; and this pipe , which is large enough to let pass through it the body of a man , passes into the moat , coming to an end immediately above the surface of the water , so that there is no perceptible interval between water and pipe . The King being dead , his murderer swiftly ties a weight to the body , and , dragging it to the window , raises it by a pulley ( for , lest the weight should prove too great , Detchard has provided one ) till it is level with the mouth of the pipe . He inserts the feet in the pipe , and pushes the body down . Silently , without splash or sound , it falls into the water and thence to the bottom of the moat , which is twenty feet deep thereabouts . This done , the murderer cries loudly , " All 's well ! " and himself slides down the pipe ; and the others , if they can and the attack is not too hot , run to the inner room and , seeking a moment's delay , bar the door , and in their turn slide down . And though the King rises not from the bottom , they rise and swim round to the other side , where the orders are for men to wait them with ropes , to haul them out , and horses . And here , if things go ill , the duke will join them and seek safety by riding ; but if all goes well , they will return to the Castle , and have their enemies in a trap . That , sir , is the plan of his Highness for the disposal of the King in case of need . But it is not to be used till the last ; for , as we all know , he is not minded to kill the King unless he can , before or soon after , kill you also , sir . Now , sir , I have spoken the truth , as God is my witness , and I pray you to shield me from the vengeance of Duke Michael ; for if , after he knows what I have done , I fall into his hands , I shall pray for one thing out of all the world – a speedy death , and that I shall not obtain from him ! " The fellow's story was rudely told , but our questions supplemented his narrative . What he had told us applied to an armed attack ; but if suspicions were aroused , and there came overwhelming force – such , for instance , as I , the King , could bring – the idea of resistance would be abandoned ; the King would be quietly murdered and slid down the pipe . And – here comes an ingenious touch – one of the Six would take his place in the cell , and , on the entrance of the searchers , loudly demand release and redress ; and Michael , being summoned , would confess to hasty action , but he would say the man had angered him by seeking the favour of a lady in the Castle ( this was Antoinette de Mauban ) and he had confined him there , as he conceived he , as Lord of Zenda , had right to do . But he was now , on receiving his apology , content to let him go , and so end the gossip which , to his Highness's annoyance , had arisen concerning a prisoner in Zenda , and had given his visitors the trouble of this enquiry . The visitors , baffled , would retire , and Michael could , at his leisure , dispose of the body of the King . Sapt , Fritz , and I in my bed , looked round on one another in horror and bewilderment at the cruelty and cunning of the plan . Whether I went in peace or in war , openly at the head of a corps , or secretly by a stealthy assault , the King would be dead before I could come near him . If Michael were stronger and overcame my party , there would be an end . But if I were stronger , I should have no way to punish him , no means of proving any guilt in him without proving my own guilt also . On the other hand , I should be left as King ( ah ! for a moment my pulse quickened ) and it would be for the future to witness the final struggle between him and me . He seemed to have made triumph possible and ruin impossible . At the worst , he would stand as well as he had stood before I crossed his path – with but one man between him and the throne , and that man an impostor ; at best , there would be none left to stand against him . I had begun to think that Black Michael was over fond of leaving the fighting to his friends ; but now I acknowledged that the brains , if not the arms , of the conspiracy were his . " Does the King know this ? " I asked . " I and my brother , " answered Johann , " put up the pipe , under the orders of my Lord of Hentzau . He was on guard that day , and the King asked my lord what it meant . " Faith , " he answered , with his airy laugh , " it 's a new improvement on the ladder of Jacob , whereby , as you have read , sire , men pass from the earth to heaven . We thought it not meet that your Majesty should go , in case , sire , you must go , by the common route . So we have made you a pretty private passage where the vulgar can not stare at you or incommode your passage . That , sire , is the meaning of that pipe . " And he laughed and bowed , and prayed the King's leave to replenish the King's glass – for the King was at supper . And the King , though he is a brave man , as are all of his House , grew red and then white as he looked on the pipe and at the merry devil who mocked him . Ah , sir " ( and the fellow shuddered ) , " it is not easy to sleep quiet in the Castle of Zenda , for all of them would as soon cut a man's throat as play a game at cards ; and my Lord Rupert would choose it sooner for a pastime than any other – ay , sooner than he would ruin a woman , though that he loves also . " The man ceased , and I bade Fritz take him away and have him carefully guarded ; and , turning to him , I added : " If anyone asks you if there is a prisoner in Zenda , you may answer " Yes . " But if any asks who the prisoner is , do not answer . For all my promises will not save you if any man here learns from you the truth as to the prisoner of Zenda . I 'll kill you like a dog if the thing be so much as breathed within the house ! " Then , when he was gone , I looked at Sapt . " It 's a hard nut ! " said I. " So hard , " said he , shaking his grizzled head , " that as I think , this time next year is like to find you still King of Ruritania ! " and he broke out into curses on Michael's cunning . I lay back on my pillows . " There seems to me , " I observed , " to be two ways by which the King can come out of Zenda alive . One is by treachery in the duke's followers . " " You can leave that out , " said Sapt . " I hope not , " I rejoined , " because the other I was about to mention is – by a miracle from heaven ! "

When he gets his food the Bio-comp may say something like " You are n't going to eat THAT , are you ? Do you have any idea how many carcinogens are in that ? " or perhaps Bob is running for his life , and has not slept in 24 hours , the bio-comp will suggest that Bob should get some sleep and will even go so far as to suggest tranquilizers !

This filter is for optic systems and will allow the user to see only the glare , all parts of the image that are not glare will be filtered out . 5 . ) Asylum Silly Putty Two Geniuses at the Asylum were working on two separate projects ( one with nano-technology , the other with Changeling DNA ) , when a lab accident caused the two projects to come into contact with each other . The end result was the creation of ' Silly Putty ' This putty is independently intelligent and is sold in 12 oz. units . These little blobs , can understand the spoken word and are quite loyal to their owner / friend / master . No one understands quite what the putty is but , it is a lot of fun . The putty can understand and will follow simple commands like : " Crawl under the door and open it from the inside . " or " Hide this ' bug ' in the room . " The silly putty gets it 's name from it tendency to laugh maniacally for no apparent reason . Note : it is impossible for two or more silly putties to be combined into one larger putty , as each has an independent personality and will resist the union .


A How-To Guide for Purchasing Salvage Vehicles in Colorado Salvage yards are locations where vehicles that are worn out because of usage , cars that are no longer usable on the road , or vehicles that have been marked salvage by the state are kept . In addition , salvage yards in Colorado and other states are a destination for cars which have been seized by the state , an insurance company , or a financier . These institutions may repossess a vehicle from its owner because the owner defaulted on tax payments . Salvage yards may also house cars which have been recovered from crime scenes or have been found stolen . It may be difficult for the institutions that have seized the cars to maintain and store these vehicles because storing cars is an expensive endeavor . Said institutions may find it easier to sell off these cars to salvage yards in Colorado and other states to save costs . Therefore , salvage yards also house relatively new cars , which are brought to the site by these companies to be sold to new buyers for a cheaper price . The problem with newer salvage cars may be that their bumper is broken or their tail lights are smashed because of dangerous driving or from mishandling . There are numerous salvage yards in Colorado , and each of these yards also hosts their own website . If a potential buyer needs to locate salvage yards in Colorado , one simply needs to consult the yellow pages or go online and search for the salvage yard closest to one's vicinity . If one is interested in buying a car from a salvage yard in Colorado , one should follow a few steps . Firstly , one needs to register online by carefully choosing a salvage yard website and become a member of that online community . Secondly , after registration , which can be done online for a minimum fee , one will see a number of cars in the listing on the website . Each car listing will include numerous photographs taken from various angles of a specific car , and all other relevant information about the salvage car is provided to the user in a friendly way , if the site is well made . Thirdly , one needs to select which car he or she is interested in before one proceeds to place a bid for the car . Before one bids on the car of choice , one must ensure communication with the dealer by personally speaking with them at the salvage yard to determine exactly what is wrong with the specific car . If one is in the vicinity of the salvage yard , it is advisable to visit the yard firsthand along with an expert mechanic to find out what the car is missing . After this examination , the car can be purchased , and then the search for the missing spare part begins . The user can post a buying requirement at any of the salvage yards in Colorado via a website where the user is registered . This parts request sends information to all the warehouses in contact with the car dealer , and it is a much easier method for the user to locate the part , which can then be purchased for a reasonable price .

Rats That Bite There is an argument that suggests that any rat that bites should be humanely destroyed , as a biting rat is not acceptable as a pet . While I agree with that in part , there are also a whole host of reasons why this does not have to be the ' unwritten law ' of rat keeping . Pet rats are generally kept in cages - they can not bite anyone outside their cage , only someone who infringes on their territory by putting their fingers through the bars , or their hand through the door . Being a biter does not necessarily make the rat dangerous ( as long as you follow basic rules , like NOT sticking your fingers through the bars ) , neither does it mean that the rat in question ca n ' t have a long and fulfilled life ( it may be perfectly happy with cage mates ) . As an owner , you have to decide whether you are willing to accept the constraints of a biting rat and whether you are willing to put in the time and effort to correct this character flaw . You also have to consider , especially if there are children involved , whether it is realistic to even attempt to do this - it may be wiser to pass the rat over to someone else who is less interested in having the rat as a cuddly pet . It is very rare for pet rats to aggressively bite , but they can and will bite for a whole host of other reasons . Understanding the reason ( s ) can help an owner overcome the problem , or at least allow themselves not to be hurt when dealing with a particular rat , as well as allowing the rat to lead as normal a life as possible . The primary cause of any bite is fear . A well-socialised regularly handled rat is highly unlikely to bite compared to a solitary un-handled rat . Unfortunately , unless you buy your rats from reputable breeders , you will have no way of telling how socialised your new friends are until you try to pick them up - they may be used to the person in the pet shop , picking them up for short periods or shooing them out of the way while their cages are cleaned , but that does not mean they can cope with , or understand , the loving attentiveness of a new owner . As an owner you must be patient and understanding , giving your new friends time to settle into their new environment and introducing yourself to them slowly and carefully . Start off by just resting your hand in their cage , so they can get used to your smell , or try putting an old t-shirt that you 've recently worn in their cage . You will be able to tell , quite easily , which of your new rats are nervous and which are quite happy to see you : nervous rats will cower , run away , move in a jerky manner and make every attempt to avoid your hand at all costs ! This is when you need to be extra patient because the one thing that will get a rat to investigate you is curiosity . By talking calmly to the rats and not making any sudden movements , even the shyest of kittens will try and sneak a sniff , a lick or even a ' is it edible ? ' nip ( which wo n ' t hurt you at all ! ) . Trust building exercises , like letting rats lick yummy stuff from your fingers , help to teach the rat to associate hands with nice things and also that fingers are not for biting , only for licking . When venturing to pick up your baby rats , NEVER EVER pick them up by the tail - either use a scooping motion supporting the tummy , or place your first 2 fingers either side of their neck , just above the shoulders , with your thumb and remaining fingers supporting their tummy . You obviously ca n ' t do this with bigger rats , unless you have big hands ! Once you 've scooped them up you must support their feet : rats feel very vunerable when left dangling in mid-air ! When you first get your baby rats out of their cage , do n't go too far with them - stay close to the cage so that they can still smell it and , if they panic , you can easily put them back . You must handle your baby rats daily , for at least 20 minutes - there is a theory that a baby rat can not stay frightened for more than 20 minutes so , by handling them for at least this length of time in any one go , they will realise that there 's nothing to be frightened of . However , some rats are far more nervous than others , and can show obvious distress at being handled after only a very short time . Stress is very bad for rats so I would suggest that nervous rats should have their handling time gradually increased - a little amount of handling but several times a day . If they are particularly nervous you will need to make sure they do n't associate your visits with just being handled : on one visit to the cage handle them , on the next give them a treat , on the next just have your hand in etc. If you do have nervous babies , it may be worth considering not giving them a covered bed or bolt-hole in their cage : this may seem a bit harsh but most pet shops do not provide cover and , for the first few weeks at least , it will be easier for you to handle the rats if you do n't have to chase them round the cage or fish them out of a hidey-hole ! Gradual but continual ( and that 's the key ! ) trust building will socialise your rats in no time and , though it wo n ' t guarantee a shoulder or lap rat ( that depends on the personality of the rat ) , it will almost certainly guarantee that your baby rats wo n ' t grow up to be biters ! Older rats that bite are more of a problem and the reasons behind their biting can be more complex and harder to figure out . If you ' adopt ' an adult biter , you have no way of telling whether it has been handled regularly , whether it has been mistreated or whether it is insecure and unsocialised . Trust training can also work with adult rats , though will probably take longer and require a lot more persistence on your part . Thick gardening gloves can be worn to minimise the risk of damage to fingers , or some people use a thick towel to scoop or catch the rat in , should it be necessary to handle it . You have to decide whether this will stress the rat out and undo all your hard work of trust training , or whether you should ignore the handling aspect of socialising your rat until it feels safe in your company and is used to you lightly touching or brushing it with your fingers . There is no need to feel rushed in your socialisation and trust training of your new rat - each rat is different and each will take their own time to ' come round ' to your way of thinking ! Being naturally sociable animals , it is very rare for a rat to just be aggressive and unhandleable with no hope of character redemption , but any rat that exhibits outward unprovoked aggression should NEVER be bred from . Responsible breeders breed as much for character as they do for colouring and they socialise their rats almost from birth , getting them used to being handled from an early age - a good reason to consider buying your rats from breeders rather than pet shops , which can sometimes breed and sell rodents for reptile food ( ' feeders ' ) and are consequently uninterested in the character and health of the animals they produce . Whether from a breeder or a shop always get at least a pair of same sex rats . If buying from a pet shop , unless you know the shop to be reputable , get young , recently weaned rats . Wherever you buy your new pets from , the time spent building bonds can be one of the most rewarding experiences of rat ownership , so have fun !

If you 've been keeping up with news surrounding Oracle , you may be aware that a number of hacker attacks have been made through their Java programming language . This raised concerns of several digital security firms worldwide . In an effort to prevent further attacks , Oracle has released a Java patch to fix the flaw being exploited by hackers . To learn more about this recent patch and whether or not it worked , keep reading . Did The Patch Work ? Apparently , researchers are saying the patch did in fact fix two errors that were being exploited by hackers to cause malicious attacks . With that said , the Java 7 patch also opened up several other vulnerabilities . I guess you could compare Oracle's recent patch to a " double-edged sword " in the sense that it fixed one problem but opened up another . Because Oracle was able to release the Java 7 patch so quickly , analysts say they had patch ready for months . So , if Oracle had the patch ready , why did n't they release it ? Well , patches need to be ran through a quality assurance team to ensure they work and do n't break other parts of the system , and it 's likely that Oracle was doing this for their Java 7 patch . It 's unclear as to when Oracle will release another patch aimed at fixing the current vulnerabilities opened up by their most recent Java 7 patch . However , security analysts are saying it needs to be soon , as hackers could potentially utilize those for yet another series of attacks . In any case , be aware of phishing emails when you 're checking your inbox .

What was this ?  cried Keola , who came to himself the first , because he was the younger . " The pang of it was like death . " " It matters not , " panted Kalamake . " It is now done . " " And , in the name of God , where are we ? " cried Keola . " That is not the question , " replied the sorcerer . " Being here , we have matter in our hands , and that we must attend to . Go , while I recover my breath , into the borders of the wood , and bring me the leaves of such and such a herb , and such and such a tree , which you will find to grow there plentifully - three handfuls of each . And be speedy . We must be home again before the steamer comes ; it would seem strange if we had disappeared . " And he sat on the sand and panted . Keola went up the beach , which was of shining sand and coral , strewn with singular shells ; and he thought in his heart - " How do I not know this beach ? I will come here again and gather shells . " In front of him was a line of palms against the sky ; not like the palms of the Eight Islands , but tall and fresh and beautiful , and hanging out withered fans like gold among the green , and he thought in his heart - " It is strange I should not have found this grove . I will come here again , when it is warm , to sleep . " And he thought , " How warm it has grown suddenly ! " For it was winter in Hawaii , and the day had been chill . And he thought also , " Where are the grey mountains ? And where is the high cliff with the hanging forest and the wheeling birds ? " And the more he considered , the less he might conceive in what quarter of the islands he was fallen . In the border of the grove , where it met the beach , the herb was growing , but the tree further back . Now , as Keola went toward the tree , he was aware of a young woman who had nothing on her body but a belt of leaves . " Well ! " thought Keola , " they are not very particular about their dress in this part of the country . " And he paused , supposing she would observe him and escape ; and seeing that she still looked before her , stood and hummed aloud . Up she leaped at the sound . Her face was ashen ; she looked this way and that , and her mouth gaped with the terror of her soul . But it was a strange thing that her eyes did not rest upon Keola . " Good day , " said he . " You need not be so frightened ; I will not eat you . " And he had scarce opened his mouth before the young woman fled into the bush . " These are strange manners , " thought Keola . And , not thinking what he did , ran after her . As she ran , the girl kept crying in some speech that was not practised in Hawaii , yet some of the words were the same , and he knew she kept calling and warning others . And presently he saw more people running - men , women and children , one with another , all running and crying like people at a fire . And with that he began to grow afraid himself , and returned to Kalamake bringing the leaves . Him he told what he had seen . " You must pay no heed , " said Kalamake . " All this is like a dream and shadows . All will disappear and be forgotten . " " It seemed none saw me , " said Keola . " And none did , " replied the sorcerer . " We walk here in the broad sun invisible by reason of these charms . Yet they hear us ; and therefore it is well to speak softly , as I do . " With that he made a circle round the mat with stones , and in the midst he set the leaves . " It will be your part , " said he , " to keep the leaves alight , and feed the fire slowly . While they blaze ( which is but for a little moment ) I must do my errand ; and before the ashes blacken , the same power that brought us carries us away . Be ready now with the match ; and do you call me in good time lest the flames burn out and I be left . " As soon as the leaves caught , the sorcerer leaped like a deer out of the circle , and began to race along the beach like a hound that has been bathing . As he ran , he kept stooping to snatch shells ; and it seemed to Keola that they glittered as he took them . The leaves blazed with a clear flame that consumed them swiftly ; and presently Keola had but a handful left , and the sorcerer was far off , running and stopping .

CHAPTER V. Advice from a Caterpillar The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence : at last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth , and addressed her in a languid , sleepy voice . ' Who are YOU ? ' said the Caterpillar . This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation . Alice replied , rather shyly , ' I--I hardly know , sir , just at present--at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning , but I think I must have been changed several times since then . ' ' What do you mean by that ? ' said the Caterpillar sternly . ' Explain yourself ! ' ' I ca n ' t explain MYSELF , I 'm afraid , sir ' said Alice , ' because I 'm not myself , you see . ' ' I do n't see , ' said the Caterpillar . ' I 'm afraid I ca n ' t put it more clearly , ' Alice replied very politely , ' for I ca n ' t understand it myself to begin with ; and being so many different sizes in a day is very confusing . ' ' It is n't , ' said the Caterpillar . ' Well , perhaps you have n ' t found it so yet , ' said Alice ; ' but when you have to turn into a chrysalis--you will some day , you know--and then after that into a butterfly , I should think you 'll feel it a little queer , wo n ' t you ? ' ' Not a bit , ' said the Caterpillar . ' Well , perhaps your feelings may be different , ' said Alice ; ' all I know is , it would feel very queer to ME . ' ' You ! ' said the Caterpillar contemptuously . ' Who are YOU ? ' Which brought them back again to the beginning of the conversation . Alice felt a little irritated at the Caterpillar's making such VERY short remarks , and she drew herself up and said , very gravely , ' I think , you ought to tell me who YOU are , first . ' ' Why ? ' said the Caterpillar . Here was another puzzling question ; and as Alice could not think of any good reason , and as the Caterpillar seemed to be in a VERY unpleasant state of mind , she turned away . ' Come back ! ' the Caterpillar called after her . ' I 've something important to say ! ' This sounded promising , certainly : Alice turned and came back again . ' Keep your temper , ' said the Caterpillar . ' Is that all ? ' said Alice , swallowing down her anger as well as she could . ' No , ' said the Caterpillar . Alice thought she might as well wait , as she had nothing else to do , and perhaps after all it might tell her something worth hearing . For some minutes it puffed away without speaking , but at last it unfolded its arms , took the hookah out of its mouth again , and said , ' So you think you 're changed , do you ? ' ' I 'm afraid I am , sir , ' said Alice ; ' I ca n ' t remember things as I used--and I do n't keep the same size for ten minutes together ! ' ' Ca n ' t remember WHAT things ? ' said the Caterpillar . ' Well , I 've tried to say " HOW DOTH THE LITTLE BUSY BEE , " but it all came different ! ' Alice replied in a very melancholy voice . ' Repeat , " YOU ARE OLD , FATHER WILLIAM , " ' said the Caterpillar . Alice folded her hands , and began : -- ' You are old , Father William , ' the young man said , ' And your hair has become very white ; And yet you incessantly stand on your head -- Do you think , at your age , it is right ? ' ' In my youth , ' Father William replied to his son , ' I feared it might injure the brain ; But , now that I 'm perfectly sure I have none , Why , I do it again and again . ' ' You are old , ' said the youth , ' as I mentioned before , And have grown most uncommonly fat ; Yet you turned a back-somersault in at the door -- Pray , what is the reason of that ? ' ' In my youth , ' said the sage , as he shook his grey locks , ' I kept all my limbs very supple By the use of this ointment--one shilling the box -- Allow me to sell you a couple ? ' ' You are old , ' said the youth , ' and your jaws are too weak For anything tougher than suet ; Yet you finished the goose , with the bones and the beak -- Pray how did you manage to do it ? ' ' In my youth , ' said his father , ' I took to the law , And argued each case with my wife ; And the muscular strength , which it gave to my jaw , Has lasted the rest of my life . ' ' You are old , ' said the youth , ' one would hardly suppose That your eye was as steady as ever ; Yet you balanced an eel on the end of your nose -- What made you so awfully clever ? ' ' I have answered three questions , and that is enough , ' Said his father ; ' do n't give yourself airs ! Do you think I can listen all day to such stuff ? Be off , or I 'll kick you down stairs ! ' ' That is not said right , ' said the Caterpillar . ' Not QUITE right , I 'm afraid , ' said Alice , timidly ; ' some of the words have got altered . ' ' It is wrong from beginning to end , ' said the Caterpillar decidedly , and there was silence for some minutes . The Caterpillar was the first to speak . ' What size do you want to be ? ' it asked . ' Oh , I 'm not particular as to size , ' Alice hastily replied ; ' only one does n ' t like changing so often , you know . ' ' I DO N'T know , ' said the Caterpillar . Alice said nothing : she had never been so much contradicted in her life before , and she felt that she was losing her temper . ' Are you content now ? ' said the Caterpillar . ' Well , I should like to be a LITTLE larger , sir , if you would n ' t mind , ' said Alice : ' three inches is such a wretched height to be . ' ' It is a very good height indeed ! ' said the Caterpillar angrily , rearing itself upright as it spoke ( it was exactly three inches high ) . ' But I 'm not used to it ! ' pleaded poor Alice in a piteous tone . And she thought of herself , ' I wish the creatures would n ' t be so easily offended ! ' ' You 'll get used to it in time , ' said the Caterpillar ; and it put the hookah into its mouth and began smoking again . This time Alice waited patiently until it chose to speak again . In a minute or two the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth and yawned once or twice , and shook itself . Then it got down off the mushroom , and crawled away in the grass , merely remarking as it went , ' One side will make you grow taller , and the other side will make you grow shorter . ' ' One side of WHAT ? The other side of WHAT ? ' thought Alice to herself . ' Of the mushroom , ' said the Caterpillar , just as if she had asked it aloud ; and in another moment it was out of sight . Alice remained looking thoughtfully at the mushroom for a minute , trying to make out which were the two sides of it ; and as it was perfectly round , she found this a very difficult question . However , at last she stretched her arms round it as far as they would go , and broke off a bit of the edge with each hand . ' And now which is which ? ' she said to herself , and nibbled a little of the right-hand bit to try the effect : the next moment she felt a violent blow underneath her chin : it had struck her foot ! She was a good deal frightened by this very sudden change , but she felt that there was no time to be lost , as she was shrinking rapidly ; so she set to work at once to eat some of the other bit . Her chin was pressed so closely against her foot , that there was hardly room to open her mouth ; but she did it at last , and managed to swallow a morsel of the lefthand bit . * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ' Come , my head 's free at last ! ' said Alice in a tone of delight , which changed into alarm in another moment , when she found that her shoulders were nowhere to be found : all she could see , when she looked down , was an immense length of neck , which seemed to rise like a stalk out of a sea of green leaves that lay far below her . ' What CAN all that green stuff be ? ' said Alice . ' And where HAVE my shoulders got to ? And oh , my poor hands , how is it I ca n ' t see you ? ' She was moving them about as she spoke , but no result seemed to follow , except a little shaking among the distant green leaves . As there seemed to be no chance of getting her hands up to her head , she tried to get her head down to them , and was delighted to find that her neck would bend about easily in any direction , like a serpent . She had just succeeded in curving it down into a graceful zigzag , and was going to dive in among the leaves , which she found to be nothing but the tops of the trees under which she had been wandering , when a sharp hiss made her draw back in a hurry : a large pigeon had flown into her face , and was beating her violently with its wings . ' Serpent ! ' screamed the Pigeon . ' I 'm NOT a serpent ! ' said Alice indignantly . ' Let me alone ! ' ' Serpent , I say again ! ' repeated the Pigeon , but in a more subdued tone , and added with a kind of sob , ' I 've tried every way , and nothing seems to suit them ! ' ' I have n ' t the least idea what you 're talking about , ' said Alice . ' I 've tried the roots of trees , and I 've tried banks , and I 've tried hedges , ' the Pigeon went on , without attending to her ; ' but those serpents ! There 's no pleasing them ! ' Alice was more and more puzzled , but she thought there was no use in saying anything more till the Pigeon had finished . ' As if it was n ' t trouble enough hatching the eggs , ' said the Pigeon ; ' but I must be on the look-out for serpents night and day ! Why , I have n ' t had a wink of sleep these three weeks ! ' ' I 'm very sorry you 've been annoyed , ' said Alice , who was beginning to see its meaning . ' And just as I 'd taken the highest tree in the wood , ' continued the Pigeon , raising its voice to a shriek , ' and just as I was thinking I should be free of them at last , they must needs come wriggling down from the sky ! Ugh , Serpent ! ' ' But I 'm NOT a serpent , I tell you ! ' said Alice . ' I 'm a--I 'm a -- ' ' Well ! WHAT are you ? ' said the Pigeon . ' I can see you 're trying to invent something ! ' ' I--I 'm a little girl , ' said Alice , rather doubtfully , as she remembered the number of changes she had gone through that day . ' A likely story indeed ! ' said the Pigeon in a tone of the deepest contempt . ' I 've seen a good many little girls in my time , but never ONE with such a neck as that ! No , no ! You 're a serpent ; and there 's no use denying it . I suppose you 'll be telling me next that you never tasted an egg ! ' ' I HAVE tasted eggs , certainly , ' said Alice , who was a very truthful child ; ' but little girls eat eggs quite as much as serpents do , you know . ' ' I do n't believe it , ' said the Pigeon ; ' but if they do , why then they 're a kind of serpent , that 's all I can say . ' This was such a new idea to Alice , that she was quite silent for a minute or two , which gave the Pigeon the opportunity of adding , ' You 're looking for eggs , I know THAT well enough ; and what does it matter to me whether you 're a little girl or a serpent ? ' ' It matters a good deal to ME , ' said Alice hastily ; ' but I 'm not looking for eggs , as it happens ; and if I was , I should n ' t want YOURS : I do n't like them raw . ' ' Well , be off , then ! ' said the Pigeon in a sulky tone , as it settled down again into its nest . Alice crouched down among the trees as well as she could , for her neck kept getting entangled among the branches , and every now and then she had to stop and untwist it . After a while she remembered that she still held the pieces of mushroom in her hands , and she set to work very carefully , nibbling first at one and then at the other , and growing sometimes taller and sometimes shorter , until she had succeeded in bringing herself down to her usual height . It was so long since she had been anything near the right size , that it felt quite strange at first ; but she got used to it in a few minutes , and began talking to herself , as usual . ' Come , there 's half my plan done now ! How puzzling all these changes are ! I 'm never sure what I 'm going to be , from one minute to another ! However , I 've got back to my right size : the next thing is , to get into that beautiful garden--how IS that to be done , I wonder ? ' As she said this , she came suddenly upon an open place , with a little house in it about four feet high . ' Whoever lives there , ' thought Alice , ' it 'll never do to come upon them THIS size : why , I should frighten them out of their wits ! ' So she began nibbling at the righthand bit again , and did not venture to go near the house till she had brought herself down to nine inches high .
