Where it comes from
Lewis Carroll wrote it in chapter 9 of Through the Looking-Glass. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"We must support you, you know," the White Queen whispered, as Alice got up to do it, very obediently, but a little frightened.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"That wouldn't be at all the thing," the Red Queen said very decidedly: so Alice tried to submit to it with a good grace.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
