The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence: at last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth, and addressed her in a languid, sleepy voice.
For some minutes it puffed away without speaking, but at last it unfolded its arms, took the hookah out of its mouth again, and said, “So you think you’re changed, do you?”
“You’ll get used to it in time,” said the Caterpillar; and it put the hookah into its mouth and began smoking again.
In a minute or two the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth and yawned once or twice, and shook itself.
