Alarmed at her sudden change in size and the fact the garden is more further away than ever, Alice cries. Alice eats the cake and grows to the size of the hall. On locking the door again she notices a glass table on which a cake marked eat me rests. Now alone in a hall of doors, Alice is drawn to a lovely garden through a tiny door which is too small to fit through. Landing in a heap of leaves, Alice sees the white rabbit running away, but he vanishes when she gets near to him. Alice follows him and falls deep into the centre of the earth, musing on the workings of physics and daydreaming about her cat Dinah, while the Company sing of Alice's predicament ('Down, Down, Down'). Alice follows it across the field and it disappears into a rabbit hole. ' Alice' steps forward, suddenly seeing an unusual rabbit brush past her, wearing a waistcoat and a watch, and complaining that it is late.
