Alice didn't dare argue the point but went on.

And I thought I'd try and find my way to the top of that hill.

When you say hill, the Queen interrupted, I could show you hills in comparison with which you'd call that a valley.

Uh no I shouldn't, said Alice, surprised into contradicting her at last.

A hill can't be a valley, you know.

That would be nonsense.

The Red Queen shook her head.

You may call it nonsense if you like, uh, she said.

But I've heard nonsense compared with which that would be as sensible as a dictionary.

Alice curtsied again, but she was afraid from the Queen's tone that she was a little offended, and they walked on in silence till they got to the top of the little hill.

For some minutes Alice stood without speaking, looking out in all directions over the country, and a most curious country it was.

There were a number of tiny little brooks running straight across it from side to side.

And the ground between was divided up into squares by a number of little green hedges that reached from brook to brook.

I declare, it's marked out just like a large chessboard, Alice said at last.

There ought to be some men moving about somewhere.

And so there are, she added in a tone of delight.

And her heart began to beat quick with excitement as she went on.

It's a great huge game of chess that's being played all over the world.

If this is the world at all, you know.

Oh what fun it is.
