Alice turned round and there was the White Rabbit next to her.

The White Rabbit looked at his paper and read the next name: 'Alice!'

And the next morning she told me to find another place to live.

The others were talking about something that would happen the next day

But I missed the bus that evening, and there wasn't another one until the next day

It took me about seven minutes to win the first game, and half an hour to win the next

I played all that day, and the next

The next morning I bought some breakfast and got Sue some bananas to eat

And the next day he took Sue and me out in his little boat, to look for a good place to start the shrimp business.

What could I do next? I didn't know

By the end of the next week, we were getting ten dollars a day

Jenny sat next to me while the little boy started playing with Sue.

Mrs Emma Green lived in the cottage next to the stableyard; she did not hear anything either

From Hanbury Street people entered the house through a door next to Mrs Hardiman's shop

The next evening he returned to the steetlamp outside the church

For the next three years, Marius lived in a small room in an old, damp-walled building on the outskirts of Paris - the same room that Valjean and Cosette had lived in eight years earlier

They always sat next to each other on the same bench

For the next few days he passed the bench in the Gardens without looking at her

The next day, Marius returned to the Luxembourg Gardens wearing his best clothes

He returned the next morning and sat on a bench all day, pretending to read a book, not daring to go near the bench where the girl and her father were sitting

Every day for the next month, Marius went to the Luxembourg Gardens, excited by knowing that the girl was secretly looking at him, but too shy and embarrassed to know what to do

He kissed the handkerchief, breathed in its perfume, wore it next to his heart by day and kept it under his pillow at night.

The next day they did not go to the Gardens, so again Marius went to the house as night was falling

The next morning, while he was working, there was a gentle knock on his door.

He now had five letters, all the work of one author: the man who lived with his family in the next room.

Now, after his conversation with the girl from the next room, he understood what real poverty was

Only a thin wall separated him from the family of lost souls in the room next door

As Marius was thinking about the sad life of the family in the next room, he stared dreamily at the wall that separated them

But then he heard a loud voice from the next room.

The desk clerk showed him into the police chief's office, where a tall man with a wide face and a thin, tight mouth was trying to keep warm next to a tire.

'And you're sure he's not in next door?'

'Never mind.' He sat on the bed next to the helpless but brave old man, and said, 'Let's discuss things quietly

The next evening, as she was walking in the garden, she was sure that she heard someone moving in the trees

He spent the next two nights walking around the garden, checking the gate, listening for noises, but nothing unusual happened.

Then, as if by magic, her lips were next to his and they were kissing

'What's the matter?' he asked, sitting next to her on the bench.

Marius sat next to her

Cosette, however, did not leave her bedroom the next day, and Jean Valjean had dinner alone

The next cannonball exploded against the wall at one end of the barricade, killing two men and wounding three.

'It's sad,' he murmured to Marius, who was standing next to him

When a second cannon was moved into position next to the first, they knew that the end was near.

The next morning, Inspector Javert's body was discovered floating in the river

But he had to spend the next two months resting because of the damage to his shoulder

That night he went home in despair, and the next evening he did not come at all.

"Can you pass me over the bag? Then you can come and sit here next to me," he says as casually as he can.

But you know, I think I can do that next time

And he thinks that the next bullet is for him

One moment they were running; the next there was the sound of the gun and a scream

The next thing he knew he was holding his shoulder and walking confused and weak.

He puts the guns next to a tree and takes them out of the bags carefully, and, yes, there is the interest in the boy's eyes.

And he thinks that maybe next time they should just go to the cinema instead

But worse than that was his next decision

Clive nods and pushes a button on a control panel next to the pool

Hank Wynn does not stop to watch what happens next

She began to swim again, next to Cham

Fifteen minutes later, Sala was dressed in her own clothes again, and was sitting next to Cham near the changing rooms

For the next twenty-four hours, Sala tried to think clearly

Then he came and sat next to her

"So, what happens next?"

Sala stood uncertainly next to Cham

She had been there for about thirty minutes when a woman began running on the machine next to her

Up ahead, the woman took the next exit, and disappeared.

Sala sat down on the sofa, and Wena sat next to her.

At the time, Tina was certain that Danny was aware of the nightly arguments she and Michael were having in their own bedroom, which was next to his, and that he wanted to move into the den so he wouldn't be able to hear them bickering

She stopped first at the booth next to Mainway's

In the next semicircular booth, Charles Mainway greeted Tina with a warm smile

They made pleasant small talk for the next fifteen minutes, and none of it had to do with Magyck! Tina was aware that they were trying to take her mind off the show, and she appreciated their effort.

She went to the drawer next to the sink and selected a long, sharp blade from an assortment of knives.

"Michael-" she began, intending to tell him that she was going to stage another show within the next year, that she didn't want to be represented by only one production at a time, and that she even had distant designs on New York and Broadway, where the return of Busby Berkeley - style musicals might be greeted with cheers.

It'll be a great promotion, don't you think?" She raised her hands, as if framing her next words, "The Golden Pyramid - a Magyck! Place for lovers."

It was an immense, pseudo-Colonial house, perched prominently on top of a hill, on a three- or four-acre property, and conveniently next door to a large, nondenominational cemetery

Sitting in a bathtub full of bloody water, staring at something fearsome beyond the veil between this world and the next

"After I turn the next corner, I'll stop and get out

When they had gone two blocks, he said, "Turn right at the next corner." After two more turns and another three blocks, he said, "Pull it to the curb

"Who do we turn to next?"

Because I was never in the room with both partners, getting a thoughtful response to a story note I'd given was impossible, because neither could speak for the other and could only promise to consult when next they met at the deathbed of whatever beloved person expired that week.

'So what did you do next?' asked Holmes.

The next morning we read in the newspaper that John Openshaw was dead

Andre then took me into the next room

Without waiting for Andre, I rushed into the next room and looked into the receiving booth.

I put the bowl on his desk, then walked into the next room where all the lights were on.

I heard Andre moving in the next room, and then a strange sucking noise, as though he had trouble drinking his milk.

Andre pointed to the other door, and I walked into the next room

Then I went into the next room.

The next day I telephoned Commissaire Charas to invite him to dinner

'I saw her go round to the study window.' Miss Marple lives next door and sees everything, usually when she is gardening.

Haydock's house is next door to mine

Your house is next door to the vicarage so perhaps you saw something that would help us.'

'In fact I was in my garden from five o'clock onwards yesterday and from there, well, I can see everything that is happening next door.'

He turned, stared, shouted something about 'crawling out in a thing like a dish cover', and moved on to the gate of the next house

'The Martians are coming!' Then he hurried to the next door.

After this it seemed that the three Martians spoke together, and those who were watching them report that they stayed absolutely quiet for the next half-hour

We stayed there all Sunday night and all the next day - the day of the panic - in a little island of daylight, cut off by the Black Smoke from the rest of the world

There were signs of people in the next house on Sunday evening - a face at a window and moving lights, and later the closing of a door

We saw nothing of them the next day

I am listing these exactly because we lived on this food for the next fortnight.

The fifth cylinder had not fallen on our house, but on top of the house next door

She said, 'The next time you put a picture on the wall, please tell me

We talked about food next

The next day we bought everything we needed

It was Mrs Poppets, who woke me up the next morning

The next morning I went down to breakfast at nine

Her future husband is coming to stay next Monday

The next day, I returned to London

The next morning, Mr Hartright left for London.

The next day, it was returned to me

The next day I received his reply:

The man was too lazy to look after the interests of his own niece! I went to Limmeridge the next day and told him that no one should sign a marriage settlement like this - it gave the husband a large financial interest in the death of his wife! But Mr Fairlie did not want to listen

On the next page, another entry appears, but it is in a man's handwriting.]

The next day, when the Count returned from the lake, I heard Sir Percival ask him, 'Did you find her?' The Count did not reply but he smiled

The next day was my day off

Lady Glyde was ready to leave the next morning

The next day she died

The next day I went to Mrs Catherick's house in the village by Blackwater Park

The entry on the next page also took a lot of space, recording a double marriage

I found the record of the marriage of the man called Walter, but the space at the bottom of the page was empty! On the next page was the record of the double marriage

At the inquest the next day, the parish clerk said that the key to the vestry had gone missing just before the fire

The next day he came to my house to say that he had changed his mind

The next day we told Laura that her husband was dead and that her marriage, the greatest error of her life, was over.

I told her to meet me in the village the next day

Her anxiety caused her to become very ill indeed, and the next day she died

The next day, we went to Limmeridge House

In the next few years, Malala met with girls around the world, and she met with many politicians, like the President of the USA, Barack Obama
