Where it comes from
Lewis Carroll wrote it in chapter 7 of Through the Looking-Glass. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"I'm sure I don't know," the Lion growled out as he lay down again. "There was too much dust to see anything. What a time the Monster is, cutting up that cake!"
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"You don't know how to manage Looking-glass cakes," the Unicorn remarked. "Hand it round first, and cut it afterwards."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
