` 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 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 XXXXX .
