Read this excerpt from Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll. "Tickets, please!" said the Guard, putting his head in at the window. In a moment everybody
was holding out a ticket: they were about the same size as the people, and quite seemed to fill
the carriage
"Now then! Show your ticket, child!" the Guard went on, looking angrily at Alice. And a
great many voices all said together ("like the chorus of a song," thought Alice), "Don't keep
him waiting, child! Why, his time is worth a thousand pounds a minute!"
"T'm afraid I haven't got one, "Alice said in a frightened tone, "there wasn't a ticket-office
where I came from." And again the chorus of voices went on. "There wasn't room for one
where she came from. The land there is worth a thousand pounds an inch!"
"Don't make excuses," said the Guard, "you should have bought one from the engine-driver."
And once more the chorus of voices went on with "The man that drives the engine. Why, the
smoke alone is worth a thousand pounds a puft!"
Alice thought to herself, "Then there's no use in speaking." The voices didn't join in this
time, as she hadn't spoken, but to her great surprise, they all thought in chorus (I hope you
understand what thinking in chorus means - for I must confess that I don't), "Better say
nothing at all. Language is worth a thousand pounds a word!"
"I shall dream about a thousand pounds tonight, I know I shall!" thought Alice.
