     Just as she felt so upset and desperate, the White Rabbit came ________ (6.) sight again.  This time, he ________ (7.) splendidly dressed.  He carried a pair of kid gloves ________ (8.) one hand and a large fan in another.  He did not know that Alice ___________ (9. stand) nearby.

     The White Rabbit muttered, “Oh! The Duchess!  The Duchess!  Oh! ” 

` Won't she be savage if I've kept her waiting!'

     Suddenly, she realised that she ___________ (16. wear) the kid gloves  She ______________ (17. shrink) again.  When she found out that it was the fan that ___________(18. cause) it.  She quickly threw it away _________ (19.) fear that she might shrink altogether and disappear _________ (20.total). 

     She __________ (21.) not sure if she had changed into someone else.  While she was busy ____________ (22. think) nonsense and talking nonsense, she slipped and __________ (23. fall) into a pool of her tears. 

     She felt helpless and desperate.  When a mouse _______________ (24. swim) near, she was desperate to ask for help though she was not sure how ____________ (25. speak) to a mouse.  She tried her best to begin the talk.  She talked to the Mouse in different languages ________ (26.) first.  Then she talked about her pet cat, Dinah.  She described Dinah __________ (27.) a nice and lovely thing to love and pamper.  She sat ___________ (28. pur) so nicely by the fire, licking her paws and washing her face.  When Alice told the Mouse how well she could catch mice, the Mouse ______________ (29. bristle) all over.

       Alice noticed the displeasure of the Mouse and she quickly changed the topic.  Then she talked about her neighbour dog, a bright-_________(30. eye) terrier.  She described it to be a clever and useful dog.  It also could catch mice very well.  When the Mouse heard that, he swam away as fast as it _________ (30).

     Again, Alice realised that she _________ (31. offend) the Mouse.  She apologised and begged the mouse to come back.  The Mouse swam back.  By then, the pool __________ (32. crowd) with other animals.  Alice and the mouse decided to swim ashore and the Mouse promised to tell Alice the reasons why he hated cats and dogs and his history.  The whole party followed Alice to go ashore.
