FANTASTICELEMENTS
Fantastic:
But when the Rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoatpocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet,
for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit
with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it []
(CARROLL, 2010, p 16)

FANTASTICELEMENTS
Marvelous:
There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and the
March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it: a Dormouse was
sitting between them, fast asleep, and the other two were using it as a
cushion, resting their elbows on it, and the talking over its head. Very
uncomfortable for the Dormouse, thought Alice; only, as it's asleep,
I suppose it doesn't mind. (CARROLL, 2010, p. 68)

FANTASTICELEMENTS
Stranger:
Wake up, Alice dear! said her sister; Why, what a long sleep you've
had! Oh, I've had such a curious dream! said Alice, and she told
her sister, as well as she could remember them, all these strange
adventures of hers that you have just been reading about; and when
she had finished, her sister kissed her, and said, It was a curious
dream, dear, certainly: but now run in to your tea; it's getting late. So
Alice got up and ran off, thinking while she ran, as well she might,
what a wonderful dream it had been. (CARROLL, 2010, p. 117)
