However, the egg only got larger and larger, and more and more human: when she had come within a few yards of it, she saw that it had eyes and a nose and mouth; and when she had come close to it, she saw clearly that it was HUMPTY DUMPTY himself. 'It can't be anybody else! she said to herself. 'I'm as certain of it, as if his name were written all over his face.
'And some eggs are very pretty, you know' she added, hoping to turn her remark into a sort of a compliment. 'Some people, said Humpty Dumpty, looking away from her as usual, 'have no more sense than a baby!
'I'm afraid I can't quite remember it, Alice said very politely. How old did you say you were? Alice made a short calculation, and said 'Seven years and six months. 'Wrong! Humpty Dumpty exclaimed triumphantly. 'You never said a word like it! 'I though you meant "How old ARE you?" Alice explained. 'If I'd meant that, I'd have said it, said Humpty Dumpty.
Just as they were starting Dumpty said, with a sigh, to the kind gipsy woman, "Thank you very, very much, and will you, please, tell the clown how sorry I am that I have not seen him to speak to?" "'Ere I am, young mon 'ere I am!" It was Bill who spoke. The twins could not believe their ears. "Are you the clown?" said Dumpty in an awestruck voice; "are you really and truly the clown?"
"Why, it's like Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall all the king's horses and all the king's men " "Couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together again," said my uncle quite seriously. "But we must put Polly together again, Natty. There's your aunt, you know." "Yes, uncle, there's Aunt Sophia," I said ruefully; "but the feathers are all out of the skin, and the skin's all in pieces.
"Is your brother dead?" asked Dumpty sympathetically. She was not so frightened now, for although the old woman still held her pretty tight she did not look as if she meant to hurt them. "No, he is alive! He is alive! They tell me he is dead, but I know better. "A clown!" cried the twins. "Yus, and they won't let 'im come back to his poor old Jane.
One feels disposed to agree with Humpty Dumpty, in "Through the Looking-Glass," that when a word is worked as hard as this it ought to be paid extra. One feels that "product" ought to be coming round on Saturday night to collect its overtime. The zwieback amuses one; it is a West-coast "product," and apparently "product" has not yet reached the West coast it does not so dignify itself.
It was a bright, sunny half-holiday, when I was longing to be off fishing, but with Humpty Dumpty incomplete there was no fishing for me, especially as Aunt Sophia had been asking how soon her pet was to be finished. "Come along, Nat," said Uncle Joseph, "and we'll soon finish it." I smiled rather sadly, for I did not feel at all sanguine.
Humpty dumpty fell downstairs, and yet he married a princess; perhaps I shall also marry a princess! And then it thought of a pretty little birch-tree that grew out in the wood, and seemed to the fir-tree a real princess, and a very beautiful one too. 'Who is Humpty Dumpty? asked the little mice.
"I can't move unless the others do; they 're crowding me down!" said Cadaw-Cut; and he kicked the egg next above him. And so they continued kicking one another and rolling around in the nest until one kicked Humpty Dumpty, and as he lay on the edge of the nest he was kicked out and rolled down the hay-mow until he came to a stop near the very bottom.
