Alice in Wonderland, chapter II, part 1: Curiouser and curiouser (who am I?), sentence 19

Alice thinks Mabel lives in a "poky little house" (small and cramped) with next to no toys and "ever so many lessons to learn", and these are only Alice's guesses about another girl; if she is Mabel, she says, she will stay down here, even if people put their heads down and call "Come up again, dear!"

Who acts: Alice, Mabel, these, people · What happens: think, live, learn, be, say, stay · To what, where: poky little house, guesses, Mabel, heads · Speech: someone speaks here
