I counted the 1st line which had 68 letters. The 2nd line had the same number of letters and the third had 56. This made 192 letters.
The factors of 192 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96 and 192
I started on 12 x 16 but realised that it was mumble-jumble, so I tried 8 x 24. On the 4th line of this grid I realised that it said that 'the r', so I decided to carry on until I saw it say 'the rabbit' down the left hand side.
Eventually I got
'the rabbit hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way and then dipped suddenly down so suddenly that a lice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down what seemed to be a very deep well x'
I believe the original text had 191 letters and an x was used for padding to make it 192. I think it was meant to look like this including punctuation:
'The rabbit hole went straight on, like a tunnel, for some way and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that a lice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down what seemed to be a very deep well.'
