` I 'd rather not try , please ! ' said Alice . ` I 'm quite content to stay here -- only I AM so hot and thirsty ! ' ' I know what YOU 'D like ! ' the Queen said good-naturedly , taking a little box out of her pocket . ` Have a biscuit ? ' Alice thought it would not be civil to say ` No , ' though it was n't at all what she wanted . So she took it , and ate it as well as she could : and it was VERY dry ; and she thought she had never been so nearly choked in all her life . ` While you 're refreshing yourself , ' said the Queen , ` I 'll just take the measurements . ' And she took a ribbon out of her pocket , marked in inches , and began measuring the ground , and sticking little pegs in here and there . ` At the end of two yards , ' she said , putting in a peg to mark the distance , ' I shall give you your directions -- have another biscuit ? ' ` No , thank you , ' said Alice : ` one 's QUITE enough ! ' ` Thirst quenched , I hope ? ' said the Queen . Alice did not know what to say to this , but luckily the Queen did not wait for an answer , but went on . ` At the end of THREE yards I shall repeat them -- for fear of your forgetting them . At the end of FOUR , I shall say good-bye . And at the end of FIVE , I shall go ! ' She had got all the pegs put in by this time , and Alice looked on with great interest as she returned to the tree , and then began slowly walking down the row . At the two-yard peg she faced round , and said , ' A pawn goes two squares in its first move , you know .
So you 'll XXXXX VERY quickly through the Third Square -- by railway , I should think -- and you 'll find yourself in the Fourth Square in no time .
