"And I've got a toothache!" said Tweedledee, who had overheard the remark. "I'm far worse than you!"
"Then you'd better not fight to-day," said Alice, thinking it a good opportunity to make peace.
"We must have a bit of a fight, but I don't care about going on long," said Tweedledum. "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.
"Very well," the other said, rather sadly: "and she can watch usonly you'd better not come very close," he added: "I generally hit everything I can seewhen I get really excited."
"And I hit every thing 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.
