    . So til the iudgement that your selfe arise,
    . You liue in this,and dwell in louers eies. ..........................................................

    "Are you a child or a teetotum?" the Sheep said as she
    took up another pair of needles. "You'll make me giddy soon,
    if you go on turning round like that." She was now working
    with *FOURTEEN PAIRS* at once, and Alice couldn't help
    looking at her in great astonishment.
    .
    "How can she knit with so many?" the puzzled child thought to
    herself. She gets more & more like a *PORCUPINE EVERy* minute!"
    .
    . . . "Can you row?" the Sheep asked, handing her
    . . . . a pair of knitting-needles as she spoke.
    .
    "Yes, a little--but not on land--and not with needles---" Alice
    was beginning to say when suddenly the needles turned into OARS in
    her hands, and she found they were in a little boat, gliding along
    between banks: so there was NOTHING for it but to do her best.
    .
    "FEATHER!" cried the Sheep, as she took up another pair of needles. ----------------------------------------------
