Then there is the mediaeval nonsense among students in Germany, where they fence like Tweedledum and Tweedledee. Generally speaking, however, the belief that a blow is an argument has gone out.
We gave him a tube of quinine, though, for his next attack of malaria. The longer we rested in San Giovanni the more hopeless seemed the chance of getting away from it. The Serbian Government was close on our heels, and once they caught us up, there would be little left for us. That evening we were sitting with the Frenchmen, it was Monday. They, too, were depressed, and at last Tweedledum said
'And I hit everything within reach, cried Tweedledum, 'whether I can see it or not! Alice laughed. 'You must hit the TREES pretty often, I should think, she said. Tweedledum looked round him with a satisfied smile. 'I don't suppose, he said, 'there'll be a tree left standing, for ever so far round, by the time we've finished!
Well, THAT square belongs to Tweedledum and Tweedledee the Fifth is mostly water the Sixth belongs to Humpty Dumpty But you make no remark? 'I I didn't know I had to make one just then, Alice faltered out.
'It's the crow! Tweedledum cried out in a shrill voice of alarm: and the two brothers took to their heels and were out of sight in a moment.

'What's the time now? Tweedledee looked at his watch, and said 'Half-past four. 'Let's fight till six, and then have dinner, said Tweedledum.
