Which way?', holding her hand on the top of her head to feel which way it was growing, and she was quite surprised to find that she remained the same size: to be sure, this generally happens when one eats cake, but Alice had got so much into the way of expecting nothing but out-of-the-way things to happen, that it seemed quite dull and stupid for life to go on in the common way.
Ne mangiò un pezzetto, e, mettendosi la mano in testa, esclamò ansiosa: “Ecco, ecco!” per avvertire il suo cambiamento; ma restò sorpresa nel vedersi della stessa statura. Certo avviene sempre così a quanti mangiano pasticcini; ma Alice s'era tanto abituata ad assistere a cose straordinarie, che le sembrava stupido che la vita si svolgesse in modo naturale.
