Alice in Wonderland (33)

" I do, " Alice hastly replied.
" At leastーat least I mean what I sayーthat's the same thing, you know. "

" Not the same thing a bit ! " said the Hatter.
" You might just as well say that " I see what I eat " is the same thing as " I eat what I see. "

" You might just as well say, " added the March Hare, " that " I like what I get " is the same thing " I get what I like "  ! "

" You might just as well say, " added the Dormouse, who seemed to be talking in his sleep, " I brethe when I sleep, " is the same thing as " I sleep when I brethe " ! "

" It is the same thing with you, " said the Hatter, and here the conversation dropped and the party sat silent for aminute.

Alice thought over all she could remember about ravens and wrinting-desks , which wasn't much.

The Hatter was the first to break the sulence.
" What day of the month is it ? " he said, turning to Alice.

He had taken his watch out of his pocket , and looking at it uneasily, shaking it every now and then, and holding it to his ear.

Alice considered a little, and then said," The fouth. "

" Two days wrong ! " sighed Hatter.
" I told you butter wouldn't suit the works　! " he added, looking angrily at the March Hare.

" It was the best butter, " March Hare meekly replied.

" Yes, but some crumbs must have got in as well, " the Hatter grumbled.
" You shouldn't have put it in with the bread-knife. "
