0:00.0	Alice in Wonderland, Chapter 4 The Rabbit Sends in a Little Bill.
0:07.9	It was the right rabbit, crotting slowly back again and looking anxiously about as it went,
0:15.9	as if it had lost something, and she heard it muttering to itself.
0:27.6	The Duchess, the Duchess, oh my dear paws, oh my fur and whiskers,

2:15.9	She went in without knocking and hurried upstairs, in great fear, less
2:20.3	that she would meet the real Mary Ann and be turned out of the house before she'd found
