He watched her closely as he spoke, and observed the quiver of her long, curling lashes; he saw, too, that she was resolved not to surrender, and waited for an explicit defense; but here Eugene interrupted. "All this tweedledum and tweedledee reminds me of Heidelberg days, when a few of us roamed about the Odenwald, chopping off flowers with our canes and discussing philosophy.
"Here, I say, stop that!" she cried. "You're teasing that kid again. I won't have it. Here, come on, Kid Laura Tweedledum come and sit by me for supper." For the second time, Laura was thankful to the fat girl.
'It's only a rattle, Alice said, after a careful examination of the little white thing. 'Not a rattleSNAKE, you know, she added hastily, thinking that he was frightened: 'only an old rattle quite old and broken. 'I knew it was! cried Tweedledum, beginning to stamp about wildly and tear his hair.
It was a dirty dark morning, "thick o' rain," and a nasty sea was running, but we were really glad of a chance of doing anything to relieve the monotony. So we booted and oil-skinned, sou'-westered and life-jacketed, till we looked like Tweedledum and Tweedledee, and felt much as I expect a German student does when he is bandaged and padded till he can hardly move, preparatory to his first duel.

No one, coming from a land where all sects stand upon an equal footing, and where every church must depend for existence on its own inherent vitality, can fail to be struck with the effete and decrepit state of religion in Sweden and Norway.

The district to be canvassed was a wide one, and day after day Larry and the faithful Barty went forth to interview "People of importance"; darkly-cautious publicans, with wives lurking at hand to make sure that "Himself" should do nothing rash; uninterested farmers, who "had their land bought," and were left cold by the differences 'twixt Tweedledum and Tweedledee; and visits to "The Clergy" of all denominations, productive of much artificially friendly converse and no very definite promises.
"That she is going to take poor Larry after all. She might do worse, Mr. Masters." "Poor Larry! I am sorry for him. I have always liked Larry Twentyman. But that is all over now." "She's not going to have that tweedledum young parson, surely?" "Reginald Morton has made her a set offer." "The squire!" Mr. Masters nodded his head three times. "You don't say so. Well, Mr.
Catie draped a scarf over her hair and shoulders and, holding a bedroom jug aloft on her head, posed as Rebecca at the well. Nan and Tattie, wrapt in identical blankets, were Tweedledum and Tweedledee. Winnie, with a painted moustache and a dressing-gown, was a Turk.
