‘I only wanted to see what the garden was like, your Majesty ‐’ ‘That's right,’ said the Queen, patting her on the head, which Alice didn't like at all; ‘though, when you say “garden”, I've seen gardens, compared with which this would be a wilderness.’ Alice didn't dare to argue the point, but went on: ‘‐ and I thought I'd try and find my way to the top of that hill.’ ‘When you say “hill”,’ the Queen interrupted, ‘ I could show you hills, in comparison with which you'd call that a valley.’ ‘No, I shouldn't,’ said Alice, surprised into contradicting her at last: ‘a hill can't be a valley, you know. That would be nonsense ‐’ Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There (Lewis Carroll)
