Down Down Down
Down, down, down. Would the fall NEVER come to an end! `I
wonder how many miles I’ve fallen by this time?’ she said aloud.
`I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the earth. Let
me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think–’ (for,
you see, Alice had learnt several things of this sort in her
lessons in the schoolroom, and though this was not a VERY good
opportunity for showing off her knowledge, as there was no one to
listen to her, still it was good practice to say it over) `–yes,
that’s about the right distance–but then I wonder what Latitude
or Longitude I’ve got to?’ (Alice had no idea what Latitude was,
or Longitude either, but thought they were nice grand words to
say.)
