I found the word ink (and inkstand) in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. This quote is from Chapter 12: Alice's Evidence.

"Never!" said the Queen furiously, throwing an inkstand at the Lizard as she spoke. (The unfortunate little Bill had left off writing on his slate with one finger, as he found it made no mark; but he now hastily began again, using the ink, that was trickling down his face, as long as it lasted.)

I didn't find the word rain in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but I found it in Through the Looking-glass.

"I see you're admiring my little box." the Knight said in a friendly tone. "It's my own invention -- to keep clothes and sandwiches in. You see I carry it upside-down, so that the rain can't get in."

"But the things can get OUT," Alice gently remarked. "Do you know the lid's open?"
