"But"—Tommy Smith was beginning. "Let me get on," said the mole. "I have two galleries inside my fortress, an upper one and a lower one. The lower one is the largest. It runs all round the ceiling of my bedroom. From it there are five little passages which run up into the upper one. BUT TOMMY SMITH WAS BEGINNING LET ME GO ON SAID THE MOLE I HAVE TWO GALLERIES INSIDE MY FORTRESS AN UPPER ONE AND A LOWER ONE THE LOWER ONE IS THE LARGEST IT RUNS ALL AROUND THE CEILING OF MY BEDROOM FROM IT THERE ARE FIVE LITTLE PASSAGES WHICH RUN UP INTO THE UPPER ONE
le, “but you ask so many questions, that I am not able to get on. Now I will begin again, and perhaps it would be better if you were to say nothing till I have done.” So Tommy Smith sat down on the ground to listen, and the mole went on in these words: “Inside my fortress there is a large room which is quite round. I call it my bedroom or dormitory, because sometimes I go to sleep there. There are two different ways of getting into it. One of them is by the floor, and that is easy. But the second way is by the ceiling, and that is much more difficult.” “By the floor and the ceiling?” cried Tommy Smith, quite forgetting what the mole had said. “How very funny! I get into _my_ room through a door in one of the sides.” “Dear me!” said the mole. “Well, I should not like to enter a room in that way.” “Why not?” asked Tommy Smith. “The idea of such a thing!” said the mole. “As for doors, they are things I don’t understand. Galleries and tunnels are what I use, and I think them much grander.” S THAT YOU LIVE IN THAT IS JUST WHAT I AM GOING TO DO SAID THE MOLE BUT YOU ASK SO MANY QUESTIONS AND I AM NOT ABLE TO GET ON NOW I WILL BEGIN AGAIN AND PERHAPS IT WOULD BE BETTER IF YOU WERE TO SAY NOTHING UNTIL I AM DONE SO THOMAS SAT DOWN ON THE GROUND TO LISTEN AND THE MOLE WENT ON IN THESE WORDS INSIDE MY FORTRESS THERE IS A LARGE ROOM WHICH IS QUITE ROUND I CALL IT MY BEDROOM OR DORMITORY BECAUSE SOMETIMES I GO TO SLEEP THERE THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT WAYS OF GETTING INTO IT ONE OF THEM IS BY THE FLOOR AND THAT IS EASY BUT THE SECOND WAY IS BY THE CEILING AND THAT IS MUCH MORE DIFFICULT BY THE FLOOR IN THE CEILING CRIED TOMMY SMITH QUITE FORGETTING WHAT THE MOLE HAD SAID HOW VERY FUNNY I GET MY ROOM THROUGH A DOOR IN ONE OF THE SIDES DEAR ME SAID THE MOLE WELL I SHOULD NOT LIKE TO ENTER A ROOM IN THAT WAY WHY NOT ASKED TOMMY SMITH THE IDEA OF SUCH A THING SAID THE MOLE AS FOR DOORS THEY ARE THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND GALLERIES AND TUNNELS ARE WHAT I USE AND I THINK THEM MUCH GRANDER
