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.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
In another moment Alice was through the glass, and had jumped lightly down into the Looking-glass room. The very first thing she did was to look whether there was a fire in the fireplace, and she was quite pleased to find that there was a real one, blazing away as brightly as the one she had left behind. "So I shall be as warm here as I was in the old room," thought Alice: "warmer, in fact, because there'll be no one here to scold me away from the fire. Oh, what fun it'll be, when they see me through the glass in here, and can't get at me!"
One paragraph next to it is a cryptogram here in its own right, so it is left out too: the easy one from chapter 1.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
