Suddenly she came upon a little three-legged table, all made of solid glass;
there was nothing on it except a tiny golden key, and Alice's first thought
was that it might belong to one of the doors of the hall; but, alas! either
the locks were too large, or the key was too small, but at any rate it would
not open any of them. However, on the second time round, she came upon a low
curtain she had not noticed before, and behind it was a little door about fifteen
inches high: she tried the little golden key in the lock, and to her great delight
it fitted!
Alice opened the door and found that it led into a small passage, not much larger
than a rat-hole: she knelt down and looked along the passage into the loveliest
garden you ever saw. How she longed to get out of that dark hall, and wander
about among those beds of bright flowers and those cool fountains, but she
could not even get her head though the doorway; 'and even if my head would go
through,' thought poor Alice, 'it would be of very little use without my
shoulders. Oh, how I wish I could shut up like a telescope! I think I could,
if I only know how to begin.' For, you see, so many out-of-the-way things had
happened lately, that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were
really impossible.
