` And I do so WISH it was true ! I 'm sure the woods look sleepy in the autumn , when the leaves are getting brown . ` Kitty , can you play chess ? Now , do n't smile , my dear , I 'm asking it seriously . Because , when we were playing just now , you watched just as if you understood it : and when I said `` Check ! '' you purred ! Well , it WAS a nice check , Kitty , and really I might have won , if it had n't been for that nasty Knight , that came wiggling down among my pieces . Kitty , dear , let 's pretend -- ' And here I wish I could tell you half the things Alice used to say , beginning with her favourite phrase ` Let 's pretend . ' She had had quite a long argument with her sister only the day before -- all because Alice had begun with ` Let 's pretend we 're kings and queens ; ' and her sister , who liked being very exact , had argued that they could n't , because there were only two of them , and Alice had been reduced at last to say , ` Well , YOU can be one of them then , and I 'LL be all the rest . ' And once she had really frightened her old nurse by shouting suddenly in her ear , ` Nurse ! Do let 's pretend that I 'm a hungry hyaena , and you 're a bone . ' But this is taking us away from Alice 's speech to the kitten . ` Let 's pretend that you 're the Red Queen , Kitty ! Do you know , I think if you sat up and folded your arms , you 'd look exactly like her . Now do try , there 's a dear ! ' And Alice got the Red Queen off the table , and set it up before the kitten as a model for it to imitate : however , the thing did n't succeed , principally , Alice said , because the kitten would n't fold its arms properly . So , to punish it , she held it up to the Looking-glass , that it might see how sulky it was -- ` and if you 're not good directly , ' she added , ` I 'll put you through into Looking-glass House . How would you like THAT ? ' ` Now , if you 'll only attend , Kitty , and not talk so much , I 'll tell you all my ideas about Looking-glass House . First , there 's the room you can see through the glass -- that 's just the same as our drawing room , only the things go the other way .
I can XXXXX all of it when I get upon a chair -- all but the bit behind the fireplace .
