Nokho, naphezu kokuphumelela kwakhe kokubhala, uCarroll akazange akhethe i-philological faculty, kodwa isayensi ngqo. Ngo-1855 waphumelela e-Oxford wabe eseprofesa wezibalo. Khona-ke wahlala endlini enezingulube futhi ngokushesha waqala ukuzungeza izindabakwane e-Oxford. Okokuqala, uLeonard Carroll wabheka okungajwayelekile. Wayenehlo elilodwa eliphakeme kakhulu kunalolunye, futhi izingxenyana zomlomo wakhe zashintsha ngezindlela ezihlukene: eyodwa phezulu enye enye phansi. Kanti, abaningi babatshela ukuthi wayesekhohlo, kodwa waziphoqa ukuba abhale ngesandla sakhe sokunene ngomzamo wokucabanga nokuthanda. UCarroll wayesezithulu ezindlebeni eyodwa futhi enzima kakhulu. Wayelokhu ekhuluma ngezwi elifanayo ngezwi elifanayo, engalokothi ahlukunyezwe imizwelo futhi engafuni ukujwayelana nanoma ubani. UL Lewis wayegwema njalo umphakathi, futhi wayevame ukubonakala ehamba yedwa e-Oxford Park. Kodwa-ke, uCarroll wayenemisebenzi yakhe eyintandokazi, lapho azinikela khona isikhathi esiningi samahhala.

UCarroll akazange adle emini ukuze angayeki umsebenzi. Wayephuza ingilazi ye-sherry futhi wadla amakhukhi ambalwa. Khona-ke waya ukuqhuba izinkulumo, wadla, wahamba futhi wahlala phansi ukuze asebenze. Futhi uLee wahlushwa ukulala, ngakho-ke lapho engakwazi ukulala, wafika ngezibalo ezahlukene zezibalo ne-geometric. Ngendlela, kamuva bangena encwadini yakhe, enesihloko esithi "Izibalo Zezibalo."

Abafundi bakhe nabalingani bakhe babecabanga ukuthi umbhali uyinqaba futhi akayena ojwayelekile. Futhi izingane azizange ziqaphele. Wakha amageyimu kubo, wabajabulisa futhi bajabule ngakho, wayemthanda ngobuqotho unprofesa omncane ongaziwa, kodwa onomusa. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngokuzimela kwabo emicabangweni nasenzweni, basiza umlobi ukuba adale izindaba zakhe. Phela, u-Alice, ovakashele izwe lezimangaliso futhi ebuka umhlaba wonke, uL Lewis wabhala u-Alice wangempela, owavame ukuvakashela indlu yakhe, wayeyintombazane enomdla kakhulu enokucabanga okungavamile.
