First lines
Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on / the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had / peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no / pictures or conversations in it, and where is the use of a book, / thought Alice, without pictures or conversations? So she was / considering in her own mind, (as well as she could, for the hot / day made her feel very sleepy and stupid,) whether the pleasure / of making a daisy-chain was worth the trouble of getting up and / picking the daisies, when a white rabbit with pink eyes ran close / by her.
