Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, near the end of Chapter 4:
https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/lewis-carroll/alices-adventures-in-wonderland/john-tenniel/text/chapter-4
Standard Ebooks has:
"and her eyes immediately met those of a large caterpillar,"
but Gutenberg at https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/11/pg11.txt has:
"and her eyes immediately met those of a large blue caterpillar,"
So the word "blue" is missing, which is also present in the scans of the original book, available at:
https://archive.org/details/adventuresalices00carrrich/page/58/mode/2up .
