Quotes
So they walked on together through the wood, Alice with her arms clasped lovingly round the neck of the Fawn, till they came out onto another open field, and here the Fawn gave a sudden bound into the air, and shook itself free from Alice's arm. "I'm a Fawn!" it cried out in a voice of delight. "And, dear me! you're a human child!"
