They looked so exactly like a couple of great schoolboys that Alice couldn't help pointing her finger at Tweedledum and saying First Boy No how 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 that he would only shout out contrary rise, and so he did.

You've been wrong, cried Quedledum.

The first thing in a visit is to say how'd you do and shake hands.

And here the two brothers gave each other a hug, and then they held out the two hands that were free to shake hands with her.

Alice did not like shaking hands with either of them first, for fear of hurting the other one's feelings, and

So, as the best way out of the difficulty, she took hold of both hands at once,

The next moment they were dancing round in a ring, and

This seemed quite natural, she remembered afterwards, and she was not even surprised to hear music playing.

It seemed to come from the tree under which they were dancing, and it was done, as well as she could make it out, by the branches rubbing one across the other, like fiddles and fiddlesticks.

But it certainly was funny.

Alice said afterwards, when she was telling her sister the history of all this, to find myself singing Here we go round the mulberry bush.

I don't know when I began it, but somehow I felt as if I'd been singing it a long, long time.

The other two dancers were fat and very soon out of breath, but

Four times round is enough for one dance, Tweedledum panted out, and they left off dancing as suddenly as they had begun.

The music stopped at the same moment.

Then they let go of Alice's hands and stood looking at her for a minute.

There was rather an awkward pause, as Alice didn't know how to begin a conversation with people she had just been dancing with.

It would never do to say how do you do now, she said to herself.

We seem to have got beyond that somehow.
