The Cheshire Cat

Alice tried another question. 'What sort of people live about here?'

'In that direction,' the Cat said, waving its right paw round, 'lives a Hatter: and in that direction,' waving the other paw, 'lives a March Hare.  Visit either you like: they're both mad.'

'But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.

'Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: 'we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'

'How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.

'You must be, or you wouldn't have come here,' said the Cat, and vanished.

Alice was not much surprised at this, she was getting so used to queer things happening. While she was looking at the place where it had been, it suddenly appeared again.

'I wish you wouldn't keep appearing and vanishing so suddenly: you make one quite giddy,' said Alice.

'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

'Well! I've often seen a cat without a grin,' thought Alice; 'but a grin without a cat! It's the most curious thing I ever saw in my life!'


Each of these words has faded away, leaving only a "grin" behind.
