Overview

But the black kitten had been finished with earlier in the afternoon, and so, while Alice was sittingcurled up in a corner of the great arm-chair, half talking to herself and half asleep, the kitten hadbeen having a grand game of romps with the ball of worsted Alice had been trying to wind up, andhad been rolling it up and down till it had all come undone again; and there it was, spread over thehearth-rug, all knots and tangles, with the kitten running after its own tail in the middle.'Oh, you wicked little thing!' cried Alice, catching up the kitten, and giving it a little kiss to make itunderstand that it was in disgrace.
