Read this passage from Through the Looking-Glass. By this time it was getting light. "The crow must have flown away, I think,” said Alice: "I'm so glad it's gone. I thought it was the night coming on.”

"I wish I could manage to be glad!” the Queen said. "Only I never can remember the rule. You must be very happy, living in this wood, and being glad whenever you like!”

"Only it is so VERY lonely here!” Alice said in a melancholy voice; and at the thought of her loneliness two large tears came rolling down her cheeks.

"Oh, don't go on like that!” cried the poor Queen, wringing her hands in despair.
