Where it comes from
Lewis Carroll wrote it in chapter 8 of Through the Looking-Glass. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
He looked so vexed at the idea, that Alice changed the subject hastily. "What a curious helmet you've got!" she said cheerfully. "Is that your invention too?"
The sentence you are solving goes here.
The knight looked so solemn about it that Alice did not dare to laugh. "I'm afraid you must have hurt him," she said in a trembling voice, "being on the top of his head."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
