words only definitions & notes
  1. telescope
    a magnifier of images of distant objects
    Oh, how I wish I could shut up like a telescope!
  2. antipathy
    a feeling of intense dislike
    The Antipathies, I think — ' (she was rather glad there WAS no one listening, this time, as it didn't sound at all the right word) ` — but I shall have to ask them what the name of the country is, you know.
  3. latitude
    an imaginary line around the Earth parallel to the equator
    Let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think — ' (for, you see, Alice had learnt several things of this sort in her lessons in the schoolroom, and though this was not a VERY good opportunity for showing off her knowledge, as there was no one to listen to her, still it was good practice to say it over) ` — yes, that's about the right distance — but then I wonder what Latitude or Longitude I've got to?'
  4. doze
    a light fitful sleep
    She felt that she was dozing off, and had just begun to dream that she was walking hand in hand with Dinah, and saying to her very earnestly, `Now, Dinah, tell me the truth: did you ever eat a bat?' when suddenly, thump! thump! down she came upon a heap of sticks and dry leaves, and the fall was over.
  5. consider
    think about carefully; weigh
    So she 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.
  6. venture
    an undertaking with an uncertain outcome
    However, this bottle was NOT marked `poison,' so Alice ventured to taste it, and finding it very nice, (it had, in fact, a sort of mixed flavour of cherry-tart, custard, pine-apple, roast turkey, toffee, and hot buttered toast,) she very soon finished it off.
  7. rate
    a quantity considered as a proportion of another quantity
    Suddenly she came upon a little three-legged table, all made of solid glass; there was nothing on it except a tiny golden key, and Alice's first thought was that it might belong to one of the doors of the hall; but, alas! either the locks were too large, or the key was too small, but at any rate it would not open any of them.
  8. pine
    a coniferous tree
    However, this bottle was NOT marked `poison,' so Alice ventured to taste it, and finding it very nice, (it had, in fact, a sort of mixed flavour of cherry-tart, custard, pine-apple, roast turkey, toffee, and hot buttered toast,) she very soon finished it off.
  9. wander
    move or cause to move in a sinuous or circular course
    How she longed to get out of that dark hall, and wander about among those beds of bright flowers and those cool fountains, but she could not even get her head through the doorway; `and even if my head would go through,' thought poor Alice, `it would be of very little use without my shoulders.
  10. practice
    a customary way of operation or behavior
    Let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think — ' (for, you see, Alice had learnt several things of this sort in her lessons in the schoolroom, and though this was not a VERY good opportunity for showing off her knowledge, as there was no one to listen to her, still it was good practice to say it over) ` — yes, that's about the right distance — but then I wonder what Latitude or Longitude I've got to?'
  11. opportunity
    a possibility from a favorable combination of circumstances
    Let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think — ' (for, you see, Alice had learnt several things of this sort in her lessons in the schoolroom, and though this was not a VERY good opportunity for showing off her knowledge, as there was no one to listen to her, still it was good practice to say it over) ` — yes, that's about the right distance — but then I wonder what Latitude or Longitude I've got to?'
  12. wild
    wild, free, and not controlled or touched by humans
    `No, I'll look first,' she said, `and see whether it's marked "poison" or not'; for she had read several nice little histories about children who had got burnt, and eaten up by wild beasts and other unpleasant things, all because they WOULD not remember the simple rules their friends had taught them: such as, that a red-hot poker will burn you if you hold it too long; and that if you cut your finger VERY deeply with a knife, it usually bleeds; and she had never forgotten that, if you ...
