      The Infection Meeting

      ALICE was just about to enter one of the tempting little shops with purple socks and ties in the window, when she saw the White Rabbit hurrying across a mud puddle. She ran after him, and caught him just as he reached a curbstone.

      Please— she began.

      But the White Rabbit did not even turn his head.

      No, I haven't any pennies, he said.

      But I wanted to know— said Alice.

      Oh, it's you, is it? the White Rabbit said, turning round blowing a huge cloud of smoke from his pipe into Alice's face. Well, come on.

      Where? asked Alice.

      ​To the Infection Meeting, of course, said the White Rabbit, starting off at a rapid pace.

      But I don't want to be infected, Alice said, as she ran after him. "I've had the

      mumps once, and the measles, and so many other things."

      Ah! But you haven't had probation yet, said the White Rabbit, and you'll catch it sure if you don't go to your Infection Meetings. I'm a Sophomore, and I ought to know. Come on.

      ​Who will give it to me? asked Alice, feeling a little alarmed.

      The Queen, of course. Come on.

      Alice didn't like being ordered around in this way, but she followed the White Rabbit,
