said Alice , still hoping to make them a LITTLE ashamed of fighting for such a trifle . ' I should n't have minded it so much , ' said Tweedledum , ` if it had n't been a new one . ' ' I wish the monstrous crow would come ! ' thought Alice . ` There 's only one sword , you know , ' Tweedledum said to his brother : ` but you can have the umbrella -- it 's quite as sharp . Only we must begin quick . It 's getting as dark as it can . ' ` And darker , ' said Tweedledee . It was getting dark so suddenly that Alice thought there must be a thunderstorm coming on . ` What a thick black cloud that is ! ' she said . ` And how fast it comes ! Why , I do believe it 's got wings ! ' ` It 's the crow ! ' Tweedledum cried out in a shrill voice of alarm : and the two brothers took to their heels and were out of sight in a moment . Alice ran a little way into the wood , and stopped under a large tree . ` It can never get at me HERE , ' she thought : ` it 's far too large to squeeze itself in among the trees . But I wish it would n't flap its wings so -- it makes quite a hurricane in the wood -- here 's somebody 's shawl being blown away ! ' CHAPTER V. Wool and Water She caught the shawl as she spoke , and looked about for the owner : in another moment the White Queen came running wildly through the wood , with both arms stretched out wide , as if she were flying , and Alice very civilly went to meet her with the shawl . ` I 'm very glad I happened to be in the way , ' Alice said , as she helped her to put on her shawl again .
The White XXXXX only looked at her in a helpless frightened sort of way , and kept repeating something in a whisper to herself that sounded like ` bread-and-butter , bread-and-butter , ' and Alice felt that if there was to be any conversation at all , she must manage it herself .
