It certainly was a very large Gnat,about the size of a chicken, Alicethought. Still, she couldnt feel ner-vous with it, after they had been talk-ing together so long. -then you dont like all insects?the Gnat went on, as quietly as if noth-ing had happened.

Alice asked,with great curiosity. Sap and sawdust, said the Gnat.Go on with the list. 53
