In “Through the Looking-Glass”, there is a funny scene in which Alice sets out to follow a winding footpath (described as ‘more like a corkscrew than a path’) only to find that it leads her back to the front door. Every time she tries another path, she always end up at the same place…at her front door. In the end she concludes that there is something wrong with the house (not the paths) crying, ^“I never saw such a house for getting in the way-Never!”^
