' Humpty Dumpty cried , breaking into a sudden passion . ` You 've been listening at doors -- and behind trees -- and down chimneys -- or you could n't have known it ! ' ' I have n't , indeed ! ' Alice said very gently . ` It 's in a book . ' ` Ah , well ! They may write such things in a BOOK , ' Humpty Dumpty said in a calmer tone . ` That 's what you call a History of England , that is .
