'Nohow! Tweedledum cried out briskly, and shut his mouth up again with a snap. 'Next Boy! said Alice, passing on to Tweedledee, though she felt quite certain he would only shout out 'Contrariwise! and so he did. 'You've been wrong! cried Tweedledum.
"Tweedledum and tweedledee!" laughed Clara. "It does seem good to see you boys up here," Belle went on with enthusiasm. "How long are you going to stay?" "In other words, how soon are you going to be rid of us?" asked Danny Grin. "Are you speaking for yourself, Mr. Dalzell?" Belle returned tartly. "I inquired more particularly about the others."
Even so, architects will doubtless recapture, and more than recapture, their imperiled prestige, but under what changed conditions, and with what an altered attitude toward their art and their craft! They will find that they must unlearn certain things the schools had taught them: preoccupation with the relative merits of Gothic and Classic tweedledum and tweedledee.
But the squint spied a friend, ran to her, and there was a great deal of whispering and sniggering.
