What chapter title follows Down the Rabbit-Hole?

The chapter following “Down the Rabbit-Hole” is “The Pool of Tears.”

In the opening chapter, Alice follows the White Rabbit and falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland. She then enters a hall of doors and struggles with bottles, cakes and changing size as she tries to reach a beautiful garden. Her repeated transformations leave her distressed and confused.

The second chapter centers on the enormous pool formed by Alice's tears after she grows very large. When she shrinks again, she finds herself swimming in that pool alongside the Mouse. The scene introduces one of the book's characteristic reversals: Alice's private emotional reaction becomes a literal landscape that other creatures must navigate.

Readers sometimes confuse “The Pool of Tears” with later chapters because water and swimming recur in adaptations. The original novel's chapter sequence places “A Caucus-Race and a Long Tale” next, followed by “The Rabbit Sends in a Little Bill.” “A Mad Tea-Party” does not appear until Chapter VII.
