Alice looked around her in great surprise. 'Why, I do believe we've been under this tree the whole time! Everything is just as it was!'

'Of course it is,' said the Queen, 'what would you have it?'

'Well in OUR country, ' said Alice, still panting a little, 'you'd generally get to somewhere else -- if you ran very fast for a long time, as we've been doing.'

'A slow sort of country! said the Queen. 'Now, HERE, you see, it takes all the running YOU can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!'
