` Do I look very pale ? ' said Tweedledum , coming up to have his helmet tied on . -LRB- He CALLED it a helmet , though it certainly looked much more like a saucepan . -RRB- ` Well -- yes -- a LITTLE , ' Alice replied gently . ` I 'm very brave generally , ' he went on in a low voice : ` only to-day I happen to have a headache . ' ` And I 'VE got a toothache ! ' said Tweedledee , who had overheard the remark . ` I 'm far worse off than you ! ' ` Then you 'd better not fight to-day , ' said Alice , thinking it a good opportunity to make peace . ` We MUST have a bit of a fight , but I do n't care about going on long , ' said Tweedledum . ` What 's the time now ? ' Tweedledee looked at his watch , and said ` Half-past four . ' ` Let 's fight till six , and then have dinner , ' said Tweedledum . ` Very well , ' the other said , rather sadly : ` and SHE can watch us -- only you 'd better not come VERY close , ' he added : ' I generally hit everything I can see -- when I get really excited . ' ` And I hit everything within reach , ' cried Tweedledum , ` whether I can see it or not ! ' Alice laughed . ` You must hit the TREES pretty often , I should think , ' she said . Tweedledum looked round him with a satisfied smile . ' I do n't suppose , ' he said , ` there 'll be a tree left standing , for ever so far round , by the time we 've finished ! ' ` And all about a rattle ! '
said Alice , still hoping to make them a XXXXX ashamed of fighting for such a trifle . '
