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.
"He took me for his housemaid," she said to herself as she ran. "How surprised he'll be when he finds out who I am! But I'd better take him his fan and gloves - that is, if I can find them." As she said this, she came upon a neat little house, on the door of which was a bright brass plate with the name "W. RABBIT," engraved upon it. She went in without knocking, and hurried upstairs, in great fear lest she should meet the real Mary Ann, and be turned out of the house before she had found the fan and gloves.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
One paragraph next to it is a cryptogram here in its own right, so it is left out too: the easy one from chapter 4.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
