Where it comes from
Lewis Carroll wrote it in chapter 1 of Through the Looking-Glass. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"Do you know what to-morrow is, Kitty?" Alice began. "You'd have guessed if you'd been up in the window with me - only Dinah was making you tidy, so you couldn't. I was watching the boys getting in sticks for the bonfire - and it wants plenty of sticks, Kitty! Only it got so cold, and it snowed so, they had to leave off. Never mind, Kitty, we'll go and see the bonfire to-morrow." Here Alice wound two or three turns of the worsted round the kitten's neck, just to see how it would look: this led to a scramble, in which the ball rolled down upon the floor, and yards and yards of it got unwound again.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
One paragraph next to it is a cryptogram here in its own right, so it is left out too: the medium one from chapter 1.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
