Where it comes from
Lewis Carroll wrote it in chapter 4 of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"That you won't!" thought Alice, and, after waiting till she fancied she heard the Rabbit just under the window, she suddenly spread out her hand, and made a snatch in the air. She did not get hold of anything, but she heard a little shriek and a fall, and a crash of broken glass, from which she concluded that it was just possible it had fallen into a cucumber-frame, or something of the sort.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"Digging for apples, indeed!" said the Rabbit angrily. "Here! Come and help me out of this!" (Sounds of more broken glass.)
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
