Where it comes from

Lewis Carroll wrote it in chapter 4 of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.

And so she went on, taking first one side and then the other, and making quite a conversation of it altogether; but after a few minutes she heard a voice outside, and stopped to listen.

The sentence you are solving goes here.

Presently the Rabbit came up to the door, and tried to open it; but, as the door opened inwards, and Alice's elbow was pressed hard against it, that attempt proved a failure. Alice heard it say to itself "Then I'll go round and get in at the window."

Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
