'I was Alice when I got up this morning

She ate some more, and got very tall

The Cat's smile got bigger.

'I'd like to see the Queen,' Alice said, 'but I haven't got an invitation?'

She got bigger again

Perhaps some bread got in.'

'Thank you, but I haven't got any tea

Alice got up angrily and walked away from the table into the woods.

But this tree's got white flowers! We don't want the Queen to see it

The Queen's face got redder and redder

'That's not polite,' said the King and got behind Alice.

'It's got a head, so you can cut it off.'

And she got up and ran home.

Then the other team got two men to run after me

Then Weasel, the kicker, got a field goal, and it was 28 to 24!

It was late when the bus got to Mobile

'You've got to find something,' one of the other men said.

It's got water in it.'

We went in helicopters, and there was smoke coming up out of the jungle when we got there

We began to move back to the hill, but Doyle suddenly saw more enemy soldiers who were going towards our men! We waited until they got to the top, then Bones began shooting with the machine gun

I got a letter from my Mom, and I wrote back to her that everything was OK

Bubba and I decided that we would get a shrimp boat when we got home again, and catch shrimps, and make a lot of money

And that's all I've got to say about that.

Then, when it got light, an American plane came and used fire-throwers on the enemy - and almost on us! Suddenly the trees were on fire, and men were running out of the jungle with burned skin and clothes.

Then one day I got back to the hospital and a Colonel Gooch said, 'Gump, we're going back to America together! You're going to see the President of the United States, and he's going to give you a medal because you were very brave.'

There were about two thousand people waiting for us at San Francisco airport when we got off the plane! What a surprise! A lot of them had beards and long hair

When we got there, he bought me a beer, and he was telling me about the President and my medal when something happened

Next morning we got up early and went to the White House, where the President lives

I was just thinking of getting out of there and having some breakfast when the President said, 'Boy, is that your stomach making that noise?' So I said, 'Yes,' and the President said, 'Well, come on, boy, let's go and get something to eat!' And I followed him into the house, and a waiter got us some breakfast.

So I got a ticket for Boston, instead of Mobile.

He was a little man, and he was sitting on the floor with his eyes shut when we got to Jenny's flat.

Next morning, when I got up, Rudolph was still sitting on the floor with his eyes shut.

Then, at about nine o'clock, a car stopped near the house and some people got out

'She just got out of prison,' he said

But it got me into more trouble

Of course, the first thing that I wanted to do when I got back to America was find Jenny

When I got back to the flat, Jenny was gone, and there was a letter waiting for me

Leblanc had begun to suspect what was happening because often, when Marius appeared, he got to his feet and walked away, taking his daughter with him

'I've got a letter for you, M

The police are coming and we've got to go!'

But why are you wearing that dirty old hat? 'When Marius gave no answer, she went on, 'And you've got a hole in your shirt

Finally, she said, 'I've got the address.'

I've got an idea.'

'Are you crazy? You need money to go to England, and I haven't got any

I suppose you've got some sort of career, now? Perhaps you've made a fortune

When they had got back into the carriage, however, Valjean said, 'Inspector, will you do one last thing for me before you arrest me?'

He then shut the door and got into the grandmother's bed, expecting Little Red Riding Hood, who came some time afterwards and knocked at the door: tap, tap.

Little Red Riding Hood took off her clothes and got into bed

"Grandmother, what big teeth you have got!"

"You got him, Detective?" a voice says behind me.

"I've got a gun!"

You got it?" Nick says.

And he got to the truck and managed to drive to the road, where for a few minutes he thought he was free

You got it.

The only reason you got to the final table, to my table, Jimmy is because I let you."

He smiled and kissed her, then gave her a taste-pot with a spoon: "I got your favorite

"Oh! That's fantastic!" Cham got out of his chair and hugged her, burying his face in her hair

I got up slowly, thinking about de Winter and about Manderley.

'You got my note, I suppose

I got my things very quietly

We got into the car again and drove on, up the steep mountain road

'You haven't got enough to do and so you are doing nothing,' she said unpleasantly

'I've got used to it,' I said.

We got up from the table and walked out of the room together

I got up slowly and went out with Frith into the hall

Maxim threw his paper on the ground and got up from his chair

He got into the car and started the engine.

I got up and went to the chair

'I hope you won't be so thin next time I see you,' Beatrice said as she got into her car

'I got the idea from a friend.'

'You've got her to thank for it,' said Maxim, smiling at me.

After a long time I got up from the bed where I was sitting

I undressed slowly and got into bed

I got out of bed and opened the curtains

I've got to explain about last night

'I've got to come and see you,' he said.

The sea got her

I got up and walked down the hill to the bay

'I'm afraid I've got some bad news for Mr de Winter

Then he got a terrible fright

'I've got to do my duty,' Captain Searle said

But I got the truth from him in the end

I got out of the car and began walking up and down.

I got up and walked out of the little room

Maxim may want me.' He got quickly back into the car again and drove away.

I got up and went to the window

We've got to start our lives all over again

'No, no,' he said, coming towards me, 'I've got something to say to Max

I've got something to tell you." '

Tina got out of her Honda

She got out of bed and stepped into her slippers

"We got a hit, kid!" Joel said, and he hugged her fiercely, planting a wet kiss on her cheek.

That's what we've got

This evening she would call Michael, when she got home from the premiere and the party afterward

"We got a hit, kid," Joel assured Tina once more.

She got out of the car and, carrying a purse the size of a small suitcase, marched up the walk toward the house, angling away from the front door and past the garage.

At first Vivienne thought that, she was imagining the change in temperature, but the closer she drew to the end of the corridor, the colder it got

The person who paid a fair price for something was likely to place far more value on it than the one who got the same item for nothing

When the aisle in front of her booth was finally empty of well-wishers, Tina got up and met Joel as he started to come to her

By the time they got backstage, the opening-night party was in full swing

You've got true grit."

The best you've got."

"I've got a break coming up in five minutes."

Michael kept up the friendly patter while he got his cone of ice cream

In a few minutes, she got control of herself

This was where the work got done

"What've you got in mind?"

The last few minutes - my office got chilly."

I've got big plans tonight."

She got up and began to pace, taking another swallow of cognac.

Angela felt the chill first, when she got the initial printout with those lines about Danny

Do you really think you're so far gone that you could do something like that and not remember it? Do you think you've got multiple personalities and one doesn't know what the others are up to?"

Tina got up from the couch, went to the window, and pulled open the drapes

"I've got to see."

"God knows, I'm not happy about this, but I'm convinced it's something I've got to do."

"Still, I've got to consider the father's wishes."

"You've got the wrong guy," Elliot assured them.

"You've got something else in mind, and shooting me would ruin it."

We've just got to ask you some questions."

Determined not to let them see that he was frightened, aware that any sign of fear would be taken as proof of weakness, Elliot said, "Well, you've got one hell of a weird approach for someone who's just taking a public opinion survey."

Besides, though they both struck him as slightly wacky, they didn't seem to be merely hoaxers or borderline psychopaths who got their kicks by scaring defenseless women

"If I do submit to the drug, what happens to me after you've got your answers?" Elliot asked.

When we've got what we want, we'll leave

When they got their answers, they would kill him

"Nice place you've got here."

"Hey, if you've got something to do, feel free to go ahead with it

Elliot got to the street in time to watch the Chevy pull away, tires squealing, engine roaring.

Tina got up from the bed, went to the window, and gazed at the quiet street, the palms, the olive trees.

"You've got the gun."

"We've got to get off the street and out of sight," Elliot said.

"I figure you've got the wrong place," Tom said, stepping out of the doorway, into the garage, reaching for the button that would raise the big door.

Sol said we were to pull in, out of the driveway, so that he'd have a place to put the boat when he got here with it."

Thanks for your help." He got in the car and backed it out of the garage.

We've got a lot to discuss

"What kind of government agency would have the authority to circumvent the law like this? What kind of agency would be empowered to kill innocent civilians who got in its way?"

"We've got proof that something unusual is happening: the silencer-equipped pistol I took off Vince, your house blowing up..

"Anyway," Tina said, "I'm glad I've got you on my side."

As he got out of the car, his attention was drawn to a window on the side of the motor home next to which he had parked

"I've got this..

Maybe we've already got enough to convince them it's big news

"I just can't believe the government would murder a group of little children just because they accidentally got a glimpse of a new weapon or something."

It's here we've got killers hunting us."

"I've got some," Elliot said

We'll be able to find coats and whatever else we need, and we'll find it all in a hurry." He left a generous tip for the waitress and got to his feet

We've got men checking every hotel and motel-"

"We've got men going over the passenger lists of every outbound flight." He picked up an ivory-handled letter opener, turned it over and over in his hands

"I'm sorry I got you mixed up in this."

And Stryker knows for sure that we've got it staked out

"We've got less than an hour, so there might not be time

Okay? We've got a long, long way to go

We've got a gauntlet to run before we can find him and bring him back

"I've got a splitting headache."

"And if they haven't set a trap, I've got to be there when you question Bellicosti."

Stuffing the silencer-equipped pistol into one of his deep coat pockets, he got out of the Chevy

He got into the Chevy, slammed the door, and jammed the key into the ignition.

"They've still got a receiver

She stopped the car, and he got out

We've got to hole up and get some rest

deep down, I got a sick sort of thrill when I killed that man."

We've got to use the media and the courts to free him."

"I'm not sure yet." She threw back the covers and got out of bed

Elliot got out of his chair and reached for the map - but it spun into the air again

Tina got up from the bed, massaging her cold right hand

But first you've got to tell me what in hell's going on

He got to his feet, took a coat from the back of his chair, slipped into it, zippered up, and came out of the shack

"That's it!" Alexander got to his feet

No one got out.

got out of the chemical and biological weapons race a long time ago."

Elliot said, "But if racing to keep up with the Chinese - or the Russians or the Iraqis - can create situations like the one we've got here, where an innocent child gets ground up in the machine, then aren't we just becoming monsters too? Aren't we letting our fears of the enemy turn us into them? And isn't that just another way of losing the war?"

"That's the same question I've been wrestling with ever since Danny got caught in the gears

"And someone got careless," Elliot said.

"Someone got careless and stupid

Before he got to the guard shack at the upper gate, he climbed onto the ridge above, used the snowshoes to circle the guard, returned to the road, and threw the snowshoes away

That wasn't good enough for Bollinger, and he got hysterical

But we've got to be fast about it."

And for sure, if the people in this installation got the idea that Danny's newfound psychic abilities were a result of the parietal spot caused by his repeated exposure to Wuhan-400, they would want to test him, poke and probe at him

She got in after him.

Consequently, each draft of the script was full of plot holes and illogic that never quite got repaired.

By this time, the head of the network got the boot, and a new head of network came aboard

'One day Uncle Elias got a letter from Pondicherry in India

Then yesterday I got this.'

Has he called you?' asked Commissaire Charas, as I got into the car.

The commissaire drove through the open factory gate, stopped by the main entrance, and we got out of the car

She never tried to defend herself and even got quite annoyed when she realized people thought she was mad

She refused to say why, or how she had got my brother to put his head under it.

'No, Helene, I haven't got it.'

I've got everything perfect at last!' he said

During a second experiment yesterday, a fly must have got into the disintegrator'

Slowly, the monster, the thing that had been my husband, covered its head, got up and found its way into the other room.

Father's new wife, Anne, hates me.' She got up

Then I saw that the hands of the clock pointed to a quarter to five, which meant that it was really half-past four, so I got up and went to the sitting room

'He got angry with Colonel Protheroe the other day,' said Miss Marple

I got up to open it and Mrs Protheroe came straight in

'Has anyone got a gun?'

'I've got a Mauser,' said Lawrence.

I've got to see Protheroe, but we won't be long.'

'I've got to get away

I've got to think.' And he began to run down the road.

'This afternoon I was asked to go to a dying man, but when I got there everyone was very surprised

She's got a very definite idea in her head and she's acting upon it.'

I got up at once.

Well, I've got to see Dr Haydock

But I've got the bullet for you.' He pushed a little box along the table.

'A few minutes before I got to the house.'

When we got there, a manservant opened the door.

I got it out of the drawer beside his bed.'

'Well,' she got up, 'I suppose I must go.' And with many thanks and goodbyes, she left.

Then she got up and said she really must get home.

'We've now got to find out who fired it

I meant the call that got you out of the vicarage

He got better

'Then if a lady - Miss Hartnell perhaps - said that she came here about six o'clock, rang the bell, but got no answer - you would say she was mistaken?'

Inspector Slack got up

When he had gone, Mrs Lestrange also got up and held out her hand to me

'We've got the same idea, haven't we?' he smiled

I couldn't sleep because I kept thinking about Colonel Protheroe, so I got up and looked out of my window

When I got back to the vicarage, Griselda met me in the hall

You've got to be rich to marry a girl who expects to have everything she wants.'

So I got up to find out

'But it's probably got nothing to do with the case,' I continued

'But the point is, that each thing has got to be explained correctly

Melchett followed me there and I went and got a bottle of wine and two glasses.

'I've got one bit of news for you, Clement

'We got an expert to look at it - to say whether the 6.20 was written by someone else

'So you've got the murderer?'

'So you got here just in time/

So Griselda stole the pistol and shot him before I got home.

Then he got rid of the silencer and marched into the police station with the pistol and confessed to the crime.'

But mother - well, I shall be with her till the end...' She got up and I held her hand

'And how naughty of you, Mr Clement.' She got up

But poor Ogilvy had seen it fall and so he got up very early with the idea of finding it

When I got there, I found a little crowd of perhaps twenty people surrounding the great pit in which the cylinder lay

As I got nearer, I heard Stent's voice:

He got his shoulder and knee up, but again he seemed to slip back until only his head was visible

I got up and walked up the steep slope to the bridge

I had only slept a little and I got up early

I got back to lunch at about two, very tired because, as I have said, the day was extremely hot and dull

We got there without any problems at about nine o'clock, and the horse had an hour's rest while I had supper with my cousins and left my wife in their care.

I got to my feet at last and, keeping low, managed to get into a wood near Maybury without the machines seeing me

I got up and leant out of the window.

At last the soldier was able to move, crawling at first, and he got to Woking

After it got dark, the soldier finally ran and managed to get across the railway.

That was the story I got from him, bit by bit

At that moment I got under the water and, holding my breath until movement was painful, swam under the surface for as long as I could

He got his hands on one

The foot of Haverstock Hill was blocked by fallen horses, but my brother got onto the Belsize Road.

The big man tripped over him, and when my brother got to his feet he found himself facing both of them

'I'll sit here,' he said, 'if I may,' and he got up on the front seat

As they got closer they saw- more and more people, all tired and dirty

My brother, with red whip-marks on his face and hands from the car's driver, got up into the driving seat.

It was about two o'clock when my brother got onto it with the two women

He got to his feet and saw to the right, less than a hundred metres away, the warship cutting through the water at full speed, throwing enormous waves out on either side.

All this time the steamboat was moving steadily out to sea and away from the fight, and when at last the steam cleared, the black cloud got in the way and they could see nothing of either the Thunder Child or the third Martian

When we got to Sheen, the curate said that he felt unwell and we decided to try one of the houses.

Germs, which cause so much disease and pain on Earth, have either never appeared on Mars or they got rid of them a long time ago.

Then curiosity gave me courage and I got up, stepped across him and went to the hole.

The bottle hit the floor and broke, and I stopped fighting and got up

'Since I got out-'

'I guess they've got a bigger camp there

'If they manage to do that, we haven't got a chance,' I said

And instead of rushing around blindly, we've got to change to suit the new situation

We've got to learn while we've got a chance

And we've got to live and stay independent while we learn

I got onto the grass before the sun rose

The line on the London side of Woking station was still being repaired, so I got off the train at Byfleet and took the road to Maybury, past the place where I had seen the Martian fighting- machine in the thunderstorm

'Yes, she got a duplicate after the fire.'

'Have you got a theory?' I asked.

Her husband got a terrible disease

We got a large suitcase for the clothes, and two large hampers for the food and utensils.

We got on the boat happily, but Montmorency was worried

Harris got lost! The people were angry with him

But, he got lost, too! Finally, the old keeper came back from lunch

When we got closer, we saw that George was inside the blazer

When I got back to the boat, I was very cold

George and I got the stove and the frying pan ready

The eggs got on his trousers and went up his arms

Harris got a spoon ready.

Then we all got angry

The cat got up and walked away

We got out of the boat at Sonning and walked around the village

He got very ill and died ten days later.

After a while, I Harris said, 'I've got an awful headache

'Well, I've got a bad backache,' I said.

Then, we got out the big bag and got our clothes ready.

It was when Mercy got up to go to the bedroom that Connie noticed the new shoes.

And she is not the type who would borrow money just to buy a pair of shoes; she would just wear her old pairs till things got better

'Did she ask you where you got them from?'

I have got you one of the government houses.'

James never got his car

She got into the carriage, then turned to me and kissed my hand

'What will her face be like?' I asked myself as she got nearer

When we got there, she suddenly seemed frightened

I got in a cab and escaped from them.

But then he got into debt, and in order to borrow money he had to show a birth certificate and a certificate of his parents' marriage

In 1992, she got the Nobel Peace Prize for her work.

In 1918, women over thirty got the vote after many years of fighting

What about today? In the 20th century, women in many countries fought for the vote and got it

Little by little, women have got the vote in almost every country in the world.

They also worked long hours and got very low pay - and it was very hard work.

Although almost none of them carried a gun, they did "men's" jobs and got the same pay

This was a change from women in the past, who only worked a little because they got married and had children

Sheryl was born in Washington D.C., and she got an MBA from Harvard Business School
