"Well, at any rate it's a great comfort," she said as she stepped under the trees, "after being so hot, to get into the – into WHAT?" . . . .

Answer:

Alice has reached the wood.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the excerpt from Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll, it is narrated that Alice is close to the woods were names don't exist and she is scared of losing/forgetting her name. However, some moments later she can't remember who she is as she has lost her name.

Therefore, the explicit detail given is that Alice has reached the woods as earlier stated by the author which makes her lose her name.
