Alice
and the White Rabbit MW-73
from Alice in Wonderland by Lewis
Carroll

...So Alice was considering, in
her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel
very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain
would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies,
when suddenly a white rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.
There was nothing so very remarkable
in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear
the Rabbit say to itself, "Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too
late!" (when she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to
her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it
all seemed quite natural); but, when the Rabbit actually took a
watch out of his waistcoat-pocket and looked at it and then hurried
on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that
she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket,
or a watch to take out of it, and was just in time to see it pop
down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.
In another moment, down went
Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was
to get out again....
