Ch 2 - The Pool of Tears

  • Summary

  • Alice grows to nine feet tall after finishing the cake that says "EAT ME," and she can scarcely see through the doorway. She starts to weep, and a large pool of tears forms at her feet. The White Rabbit reappears, muttering something about a Duchess being kept waiting. When Alice tries to talk with him, he wanders away, leaving his gloves and fan behind. Alice takes the fan from the table and starts to fan herself.

    She considers the possibility that she isn't Alice at all, but rather someone else entirely. She begins reciting her lessons to see if she knows anything Alice is supposed to know. She discovers that she is wrongly saying the recitations and considers the possibility that she is not Alice, but rather Mabel, a girl she knows. Given Mabel's lack of experience, Alice thinks her frustration about the lessons must mean that she has somehow morphed into Mabel.

    Alice notices that the fanning motion shrinks her, so she fans herself down to a size that allows her to move through the door. Alice has lost the key once again, but before she can get angry, she falls into a pool of salt water. She initially believes she has sunk into the sea, but she soon discovers she is floating in her own tears. She meets a Mouse while swimming and asks for assistance. Since the Mouse doesn't understand Alice, she attempts to interact with him in French. She recites a line from one of her French lessons in which she inquires about a cat.

    The Mouse jumps in terror at the mention of the cat. Alice apologizes but then wanders off to talk about her cat, Dinah. The Mouse is annoyed, so she moves the topic to dogs. The mention of dogs frightens the Mouse even more, and he starts swimming away.  Alice promises to stop speaking about cats and dogs. The Mouse swims back to Alice, advising her to follow him to the shore, where he can justify his hatred for cats and dogs by narrating his past. They swim to shore with other creatures that have sunk into the lake, including a Duck, a Dodo, a Lory, and an Eaglet.
