Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter IV. The Rabbit Sends in a Little Bill, sentence 36

I almost wish I hadn’t gone down that rabbit-hole—and yet—and yet—it’s rather curious, you know, this sort of life!

Who acts: I, that, bottle, you · What happens: wish, not go down, hole, be, know, sort · To what, where: sort, life · Speech: someone speaks here
