I read in "Alice in Wonderland":
"What a curious feeling!' said Alice; 'I must be shutting up like a telescope."
"Now I'm opening out like the largest telescope that ever was"
What does she means about a telescoping opening and shutting up? I know that a telescope is used to viewing far objects.
Thanks
