Tweedledum and Tweedledee

Title Through the looking-glass and what Alice found there Authors: Lewis Carroll, Sir John Tenniel Illustrated by: Sir John Tenniel Edition: 61 Publisher: Henry Altemus, 1897 (first published (1871) Original from: the University of Michigan Digitized: Jul 11, 2005 Length: 218 pages

Tweedledum and Tweedledee are characters in a nursery rhyme and in Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There. Their names may have originally come from an epigram written by poet John Byrom.

They were standing under a tree, each with an arm round the other's neck, and Alice knew which was which in a moment, because one of them had 'DUM' embroidered on his collar, and the other 'DEE.' "I suppose they've each got 'TWEEDLE' round at the back of the collar," she said to herself.

They stood so still that she quite forgot they were alive, and she was just looking round to see if the word 'TWEEDLE' was written at the back of each collar, when she was startled by a voice coming from the one marked 'DUM.'

"If you think we're wax-works," he said, '- you ought to pay, you know. Wax-works weren't made to be looked at for nothing. Nohow!"

"Contrariwise," added the one marked ' DEE,' " if you think we're alive, you ought to speak."

"I'm sure I'm very sorry," was all Alice could say; for the words of the old song kept ringing through her head like the ticking of a clock, and she could hardly help saying them out loud:

Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Agreed to have a battle;
For Tweedledum said Tweedledee
Had spoiled his nice new rattle.

Just then flew down a monstrous crow,
As black as a tar-barrel;
Which frightened both the heroes so,
They quite forgot their quarrel.

Alice began to feel very uneasy : to be sure, she had not as yet had any dispute with the Queen, but she knew that it might happen any minute," and then," thought she, "what would become of me ? They're dreadfully fond of beheading people here; the great wonder is, that there's any one left alive!"

She was looking about for some way of escape, and wondering whether she could get away without being seen, when she noticed a curious appearance in the air it puzzled her very much at first, but after watching it a minute or two she made it out to be a grin, and she said to herself" It's the Cheshire Cat now I shall have somebody to talk to."

"How are you getting on ?" said the Cat, as soon as there was mouth enough for it to speak with.

Alice waited till the eyes appeared, and then nodded. "It's no use speaking to it," she thought, "till its ears have come, or at least one of them." In another minute the whole head appeared, and then Alice put down her flamingo, and began an account of the game, feeling very glad she had some one to listen to her. The Cat seemed to think that there was enough of it now in sight, and no more of it appeared.

"I don't think they play at all fairly," Alice began, in rather a complaining tone, "and they all quarrel so dreadfully one can't hear oneself speak—and they don't seem to have any rules in particular; at least, if there are, nobody attends to them—and you've no idea how confusing it is all the things being alive for instance, there's the arch I've got to go through next walking about at the other end of the ground — and I should have croqueted the Queen's hedgehog just now, only it ran away when it saw mine coming!"

"How do you like the Queen ?" said the Cat in a low voice.

"Not at all," said Alice "she's so extremely—" Just then she noticed that the Queen was close behind her, listening: so she went on, "—likely to win, that it's hardly worth while finishing the game."

The Queen smiled and passed on.

"Who are you talking to ?" said the King, coming up to Alice, and looking at the Cat's head with great curiosity.

"It's a friend of mine—a Cheshire Cat," said Alice "allow me to introduce it."

"I don't like the look of it at all," said the King "however, it may kiss my hand if it likes."

"I'd rather not," the Cat remarked.

" Don't be impertinent," said the King," and don't look at me like that!" He got behind Alice as he spoke.

"A cat may look at a king," said Alice." I've read that in some book, but I don't remember where."

"Well, it must be removed," said the King very decidedly, and he called to the Queen, who was passing at the moment," My dear! I wish you would have this cat removed!"

The Queen had only one way of settling all difficulties, great or small. " Off with his head! " she said, without even looking round,

When she got back to the Cheshire Cat, she was surprised to find quite a large crowd collected round it : there was a dispute going on between the executioner, the King, and the Queen, who were all talking at once, while all the rest were quite silent, and looked very uncomfortable.

The moment Alice appeared, she was appealed to by all three to settle the question, and they repeated their arguments to her, though, as they all spoke at once, she found it very hard to make out exactly what they said.

The executioner's argument was, that you couldn't cut off a head unless there was a body to cut it off from: that he had never had to do such a thing before, and ho wasn't going to begin at his time of life.

The King's argument was, that anything that had a head could be beheaded, and that you weren't to talk nonsense.

The Queen's argument was, that if something wasn't done about it in less than no time she'd hive everybody executed, all round. (It was this last remark that had made the whole party look so grave and anxious.)

Alice could think of nothing else to say but "It belongs to the Duchess you'd better ask her about it."

"She's in prison." the Queen said to the executioner: "fetch her here." And the executioner went off like an arrow.

The Cat's head began fading away the moment he was gone, and, by the time he had come back with the Duchess, it had entirely disappeared; so the King and the executioner ran wildly up and dowm looking for it, while the rest of the party went back to the game.

Alice's adventures in wonderland The Caterpillar

The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence: at last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth, and addressed her in a languid, sleepy voice.

"Who are you?" said the Caterpillar.

This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, " I—I hardly know, sir, just at present—at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then."

"What do you mean by that?" said the Caterpillar sternly. "Explain yourself!"

"I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, sir," said Alice, "because I'm not myself, you see."

"I don't see," said the Caterpillar.

"I'm afraid I can't put it more clearly," Alice replied very politely, "for I can't understand it myself to begin with; and being so many different sizes in a day is very confusing."

" It isn't," said the Caterpillar.

" Well, perhaps you haven't found it so yet," said Alice; " but when you have to turn into a chrysalis—you will some day, you know—and then after that into a butterfly, I should think you'll feel it a little queer, won't you V " Not a bit," said the Caterpillar. " Well, perhaps your feelings may be different," said Alice; " all I know is, it would feel very queer to me." " You !" said the Caterpillar contemptuously. " Who are you ? "

Which brought them back again to the beginning of the conversation. Alice felt a little irritated at the Caterpillar's making such very short remarks, and she drew herself up and said, very gravely, " I think you ought to tell me who you are, first."

"Why?" said the Caterpillar.

Here was another puzzling question ; and as Alice could not think of any good reason, and as the Caterpillar seemed to be in a very unpleasant state of mind, she turned away.

"Come back!" the Caterpillar called after her. "I've something important to say!"

This sounded promising, certainly : Alice turned and came back again.

" Keep your temper," said the Caterpillar.

" Is that all V said Alice, swallowing down her anger as well as she could.

"No," said the Caterpillar.

Alice thought she might as well wait, as she had nothing else to do, and perhaps after all it might tell her something worth hearing. For some minutes it puffed away without speaking, but at last it unfolded its arms, took the hookah out of its mouth again, and said, " So you think you're changed, do you?"

" I'm afraid I am, sir," said Alice; " I can't remember things as I used—and I don't keep the same size for ten minutes together!"

" Take some more tea," the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.

" I've had nothing yet," Alice replied in an offended tone, " so I can't take more."

" You mean you can't take less," said the Hatter: " it's very easy to take more than nothing."

" Nobody asked your opinion," said Alice.

"Who's making personal remarks now?" the Hatter asked triumphantly.

Alice did not quite know what to say to this: so she helped herself to some tea and bread-and-butter, and then turned to the Dormouse, and repeated her question. " Why did they live at the bottom of a well \"

Alice in wonderland Dormouse in a Teapot Clip Art

The Dormouse again took a minute or two to think about it, and then said, " It was a treacle-well."

" There's no such thing ! " Alice was beginning very angrily, but the Hatter and the March Hare went " Sh! sh!" and the Dormouse sulkily remarked, " If you can't be civil, you'd better finish the story for yourself."

" No, please go on ! " Alice said very humbly ; " I won't interrupt you again. I dare say there may be one."

" One, indeed!" said the Dormouse indignantly. However, he consented to go on. " And so these three little sisters—they were learning to draw, you know "

" What did they draw ?" said Alice, quite forgetting her promise.

" Treacle," said the Dormouse, without considering at all this time.

" I want a clean cup," interrupted the Hatter • "let's all move one place on."

He moved on as he spoke, and the Dormouse followed him: the March Hare moved into the Dormouse's place, and Alice rather unwillingly took the place of the March Hare. The Hatter was the only one who get any advantage from the change : and Alice was a good deal worse off than before, as the March Hare had just upset the milk-jug into his plate.

Alice did not wish to offend the Dormouse again, so she began very cautiously: " But I don't understand. Where did they draw the treacle from ? "

" You can draw water out of a water-well," said the Hatter; so I should think you could draw treacle out of a treacle-well—eh, stupid?"

" But they were in the well," Alice said to the Dormouse, not choosing to notice this last remark.

" Of course they were," said the Dormouse,— "well in."

This answer so confused poor Alice, that she let the Dormouse go on for some time without interrupting it.

"They were learning to draw," the Dormouse went on, yawning and rubbing its eyes, for it was getting very sleepy; "and they drew all manner of things—everything that begins with an M "

"Why with an M?" said Alice.

" Why not 1" said the March Hare.

Alice was silent.

The Dormouse had closed its eyes by this time, and was going off into a doze; but, on being pinched by the Hatter, it woke up again

with a little shriek, and went on: " that

begins with an M, such as mouse-traps, and the moon, and memory, and muchness—you know you say things are * much of a muchness'—did you ever see such a thing as a drawing of a muchness ?"

" Really, now you ask me," said Alice, very much confused, " I don't think "

" Then you shouldn't talk," said the Hatter.

This piece of rudeness was more than Alice could bear: she got up in great disgust, and walked off; the Dormouse fell asleep instantly, and neither of the others took the least notice of her going, though she looked back once or twice, half hoping that they would call after her: the last time she saw them, they were trying to put the Dormouse into the teapot.

When suddenly a white rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.

There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, "Oh, dear! Oh, dear! I shall be too late!'' (When she thought it over afterward, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural), but when the Rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on,

Alice started to her feet; for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a Rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket or a watch to take out of it, and, burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.

In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.

The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself, before she found herself falling down what seemed to be a very deep well.

Alice's adventures in wonderland Alice, Cheshire Cat

Alice was a little startled by seeing the Cheshire Cat sitting on a bough of a tree a few yards off. The Cat only grinned when it saw Alice. It looked good-natured, she thought: still it had very long claws and a great many teeth, so she felt that it ought to be treated with respect.

" Cheshire-Puss," she began, rather timidly, as she did not at all know whether it would like the name : however, it only grinned a little wider. "Come, it's pleased so far," thought Alice, and she went on. " Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here ? "

" That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.

" I don't much care where " said Alice.

" Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat.

" so long as I get somewhere," Alice added as an explanation.

"Oh, you 're sure to do that," said the Cat, " if you only walk long enough."

Alice felt that this could not be denied, so she tried another question. " What sort of people live about here ? "

" In that direction," the Cat said, waving its right paw round, " lives a Hatter : and in that direction," waving the other paw, " lives a March Hare. Visit either you like, they 're both mad.'

" But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.

" Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat : "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."

" How do you know I 'm mad ? " said Alice.

" You must be," said the Cat, " or you wouldn't have come here."

Alice didn't think that proved it at all: however, she went on: " And how do you know that you 're mad ?"

" To begin with," said the Cat, " a dog 's not mad. You grant that?"

" I suppose so," said Alice.

" Well, then," the Cat went on, " you see a dog growls when it's angry, and wags its tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I 'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad."

" I call it purring, not growling," said Alice.

" Call it what you like' said the Cat. " Do you play croquet with the Queen today ? "

" I should like it very much," said Alice, " but I haven't been invited yet."

" You 'll see me there," said the Cat, and vanished.

There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it: a Dormouse was sitting between them, fast asleep, and the other two were using it as a cushion, resting their elbows on it, and talking over its head. " Very uncomfortable for the Dormouse," thought Alice ; " only as it's asleep, I suppose it doesn't mind."

The table was a large one, but the three were all crowded together at one corner of it. " No room ! No room !" they cried out when they saw Alice coming. " There's plenty of room ! " said Alice indignantly, and she sat down in a large arm-chair at one end of the table.

" Have some wine," the March Hare said in an encouraging tone.

Alice looked all round the table, but there was nothing on it but tea. " I don't see any wine," she remarked.

"There isn't any," said the March Hare.

" Then it wasn't very civil of you to offer it," said Alice angrily.

" It wasn't very civil of you to sit down without being invited," said the March Hare.

" I didn't know it was your table," said Alice : " it's laid for a great many more than three."

" Your hair wants cutting," said the Hatter. He had been looking at Alice for some time with great curiosity, and this was his first speech.

" You should learn not to make personal remarks," Alice said with some severity : "it's very rude,."

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
