'You know, he added very gravely, 'it's one of the most serious things that can possibly happen to one in a battle to get one's head cut off. Alice laughed aloud: but she managed to turn it into a cough, for fear of hurting his feelings. 'Do I look very pale? said Tweedledum, coming up to have his helmet tied on. 'Well yes a LITTLE, Alice replied gently.
You politicians despise the little distinctions "twixt tweedledum and tweedledee," I fancy. Of the poetic sort, Dacier's uncle certainly did. For himself he confessed to not having thought much on them. 'But how divine is utterance! she said. 'As we to the brutes, poets are to us. He listened somewhat with the head of the hanged.
Two Frenchmen had been in San Giovanni for ten days, and their anxiety to go was up to fever point. They took it in turns to stand "pour observer," wrapped up to their noses, in a doorway, watching the Benedetto in case she should give them the slip. We called them Tweedledum and Tweedledee. One night somebody rushed up to their room. Booted, they jumped out of bed, and ran about overhead.

You know very well you're not real. 'I AM real! said Alice and began to cry. 'You won't make yourself a bit realler by crying, Tweedledee remarked: 'there's nothing to cry about.

'I hope you're a good hand at pinning and tying strings? Tweedledum remarked. 'Every one of these things has got to go on, somehow or other.
Isn't it enough, if you must be disagreeable, to confine your disagreeableness to those for whom it is meant, without lugging a dozen other harmless fellows into the shadow of it?
