Opiata Jugger
| Introduction | `Seven years and six months!' Humpty Dumpty repeated thoughtfully. `An uncomfortable sort of age. Now if you'd asked my advice, I'd have said "Leave off at seven" -- but it's too late now.' `I never ask advice about growing,' Alice said indignantly. `Too proud?' the other enquired. Alice felt even more indignant at this suggestion. `I mean,' she said, `that one ca'n't help growing older.' `One can't, perhaps,' said Humpty Dumpty; `but two can. With proper assistance, you might have left off at seven.' |
