Where it comes from

Lewis Carroll wrote it in chapter 5 of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.

"Well, be off, then!" said the Pigeon in a sulky tone, as it settled down again into its nest. Alice crouched down among the trees as well as she could, for her neck kept getting entangled among the branches, and every now and then she had to stop and untwist it. After a while she remembered that she still held the pieces of mushroom in her hands, and she set to work very carefully, nibbling first at one and then at the other, and growing sometimes taller and sometimes shorter, until she had succeeded in bringing herself down to her usual height.

The sentence you are solving goes here.
