So a big pigeon pie was brought in and put on a sidetable, and I made a

En conséquence, un copieux ragoût de pigeon me fut servi sur une petite

As there seemed to be no chance of getting her hands up to her head, she tried
to get her head down to them, and was delighted to find that her neck would
bend about easily in any direction, like a serpent. She had just succeeded in
curving it down into a graceful zigzag, and was going to dive in among the
leaves, which she found to be nothing but the tops of the trees under which she
had been wandering, when a sharp hiss made her draw back in a hurry: a large
pigeon had flown into her face, and was beating her violently with its wings.

Comme elle ne trouvait pas le moyen de porter ses mains à sa tête,
elle tâcha de porter sa tête à ses mains, et s’aperçut avec joie que
son cou se repliait avec aisance de tous côtés comme un serpent. Elle
venait de réussir à le plier en un gracieux zigzag, et allait plonger
parmi les feuilles, qui étaient tout simplement le haut des arbres sous
lesquels elle avait erré, quand un sifflement aigu la força de reculer
promptement; un gros pigeon venait de lui voler à la figure, et lui
donnait de grands coups d’ailes.
