100 Days in Wonderland

Day 29 "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 . . ."
 Day 36 "The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday—but never jam to-day." "It must sometimes come to 'jam to-day,'"Alice objected. "No, it ca'n't," said the Queen. "It's jam every other day: to-day isn't any other day, you know."
Day 18 "'Two days wrong!' sighed the Hatter. 'I told you butter wouldn't suit the works!' he added, looking angrily at the March Hare. 'It was the best butter,' the March Hare meekly replied . . . The March Hare took the watch and looked at it gloomily: then he dipped it into his cup of tea, and looked at it again: but he could think of nothing better to say than his first remark, 'It was the best butter you know.'"
Day 5 White Rabbit
Day 27 "'It's more like a corkscrew than a path! Well, this turn goes to the hill, I suppose—no, it doesn't! This goes straight back to the house! Well then, I'll try it the other way.' And so she did: wandering up and down, trying turn after turn, but always coming back to the house, do what she would. Indeed, once, when she turned a corner rather more quickly than usual, she ran against it before she could stop herself."
Day 37 "I should like to buy an egg, please," she said timidly. "How do you sell them?" "Fivepence farthing for one— twopence for two," the Sheep replied. "Then two are cheaper than one?" Alice said in a surprised tone, taking out her purse. "Only you must eat them both, if you buy two," said the Sheep.
Day 15 "Alice had been looking over his shoulder with some curiosity. 'What a funny watch!' she remarked. 'It tells the day of the month, but it doesn't tell what o'clock it is!' 'Why should it?' muttered the Hatter. 'Does your watch tell you what year it is?' 'Of course not,' Alice replied very readily: 'but that's because it stays the same year for such a long time together.' 'Which is just the case with mine,' said the Hatter."
Day 10 "For the Duchess. An invitation from the Queen to play croquet."
Day 11 "'By-the-bye, what became of the baby?' said the Cat. 'I'd nearly forgotten to ask.' 'It turned into a pig,' Alice answered very quietly... 'I thought it would,' said the Cat, and vanished again."
Day 16 "'He might bite,' Alice cautiously replied . . . 'Very true,' said the Duchess: 'flamingoes and mustard both bite. And the moral of that is Birds of a feather flock together.' 'Only mustard isn't a bird,' Alice remarked."
 Day 17 "'...you can have no idea what a delightful thing a Lobster-Quadrille is!' 'No indeed,' said Alice. 'What sort of dance is it?' 'Why,' said the Gryphon, 'you first form into a line along the sea shore . . . Each with a lobster as a partner!'"
Day 25 " . . . the croquet balls were live hedgehogs, and the mallets live flamingos . . ."
Day 1 "Alice opened the door and found that it led into a small passage, not much larger than a rat-hole: she knelt down and looked along the passage into the loveliest garden you ever saw."
Day 7 "she came upon a neat little house, on the door of which was a bright brass plate with the name 'W. RABBIT' engraved upon it."
Day 31 "'So young a child,' said the gentleman sitting opposite to her, (he was dressed in white paper,) 'ought to know which way she's going, even if she doesn't know her own name!'"
Day 3 "A large rose-tree stood near the entrance of the garden: the roses growing on it were white, but there were three gardeners at it, busily painting them red."
