Where it comes from
Lewis Carroll wrote it in chapter 12 of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"But, it goes on 'they all returned from him to you,'" said Alice.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"Never!" said the Queen furiously, throwing an inkstand at the Lizard as she spoke. (The unfortunate little Bill had left off writing on his slate with one finger, as he found it made no mark; but he now hastily began again, using the ink, that was trickling down his face, as long as it lasted.)
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
