Alice thought , but nothing came of it . ` Please , would you tell me what YOU call yourself ? ' she said timidly . ' I think that might help a little . ' ` I 'll tell you , if you 'll move a little further on , ' the Fawn said . ' I ca n't remember here . ' So they walked on together though the wood , Alice with her arms clasped lovingly round the soft neck of the Fawn , till they came out into another open field , and here the Fawn gave a sudden bound into the air , and shook itself free from Alice 's arms . ` I 'm a Fawn ! ' it cried out in a voice of delight , ` and , dear me ! you 're a human child ! ' A sudden look of alarm came into its beautiful brown eyes , and in another moment it had darted away at full speed . Alice stood looking after it , almost ready to cry with vexation at having lost her dear little fellow-traveller so suddenly . ` However , I know my name now . ' she said , ` that 's SOME comfort . Alice -- Alice -- I wo n't forget it again . And now , which of these finger-posts ought I to follow , I wonder ? ' It was not a very difficult question to answer , as there was only one road through the wood , and the two finger-posts both pointed along it . ` I 'll settle it , ' Alice said to herself , ` when the road divides and they point different ways . ' But this did not seem likely to happen . She went on and on , a long way , but wherever the road divided there were sure to be two finger-posts pointing the same way , one marked ` TO TWEEDLEDUM 'S HOUSE ' and the other ` TO THE HOUSE OF TWEEDLEDEE . ' '
I do believe , ' said XXXXX at last , ` that they live in the same house !
