however, she went on “And how do you know that you’re mad?” - [113](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/113/) — “To begin with,” said the Cat, “a dog’s not mad. - [114](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/114/) — You grant that?” - [115](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/115/) — “I suppose so,” said Alice. - [116](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/116/) — “Well, then,” the Cat went on, “you see, a dog growls when it’s angry, and wags its tail when it’s pleased. - [117](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/117/) — Now \_I\_ growl when I’m pleased, and wag my tail when I’m angry. - [118](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/118/) — Therefore I’m mad.” - [119](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/119/) — “\_I\_ call it purring, not growling,” said Alice. - [120](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/120/) — “Call it what you like,” said the Cat. - [121](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/121/) — “Do you play croquet with the Queen to-day?” - [122](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/122/) — “I should like it very much,” said Alice, “but I haven’t been invited yet.” - [123](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/123/) — “You’ll see me there,” said the Cat, and vanished. - [124](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/124/) — Alice was not much surprised at this, she was getting so used to queer things happening. - [125](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/125/) — While she was looking at the place where it had been, it suddenly appeared again. - [126](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/126/) — “By-the-bye, what became of the baby?” said the Cat. - [127](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/127/) — “I’d nearly forgotten to ask.” - [128](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/128/) — “It turned into a pig,” Alice quietly said, just as if it had come back in a natural way. - [129](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/129/) — “I thought it would,” said the Cat, and vanished again. — checked by a teacher - [130](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/130/) — Alice waited a little, half expecting to see it again, but it did not appear, and after a minute or two she walked on in the direction in which the March Hare was said to live. - [131](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/131/) — “I’ve seen hatters before,” she said to herself; “the March Hare will be much the most interesting, and perhaps as this is May it won’t be raving mad—at least not so mad as it was in March.” - [132](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/132/) — As she said this, she looked up, and there was the Cat again, sitting on a branch of a tree. - [133](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/133/) — “Did you say pig, or fig?” said the Cat. - [134](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/134/) — “I said pig,” replied Alice; “and I wish you wouldn’t keep appearing and vanishing so suddenly: you make one quite giddy.” - [135](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/135/) — “All right,” said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone. - [136](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/136/) — “Well! - [137](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/137/) — I’ve often seen a cat without a grin,” thought Alice; “but a grin without a cat! - [138](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/138/) — It’s the most curious thing I ever saw in my life!” - [139](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/139/) — She had not gone much farther before she came in sight of the house of the March Hare: she thought it must be the right house, because the chimneys were shaped like ears and the roof was thatched with fur. - [140](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/140/) — It was so large a house, that she did not like to go nearer till she had nibbled some more of the lefthand bit of mushroom, and raised herself to about two feet high: even then she walked up towards it rather timidly, saying to herself “Suppose it should be raving mad after all! - [141](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/141/) — I almost wish I’d gone to see the Hatter instead!” [1](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg11/7/) **2** - ← previous: [Chapter V.
