Where it comes from

Lewis Carroll wrote it in chapter 3 of Through the Looking-Glass. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.

"I'll tell you, if you'll move a little further on," the Fawn said. "I can't remember here."

The sentence you are solving goes here.

Alice stood looking after it, almost ready to cry with vexation at having lost her dear little fellow-traveller so suddenly. "However, I know my name now." she said, "that's some comfort. Alice - Alice - I won't forget it again. And now, which of these finger-posts ought I to follow, I wonder?"

Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
