` Two days wrong ! ' sighed the Hatter . ' I told you butter would n't suit the works ! ' he added looking angrily at the March Hare . ` It was the BEST butter , ' the March Hare meekly replied . ` Yes , but some crumbs must have got in as well , ' the Hatter grumbled : ` you should n't have put it in with the bread-knife . ' The March Hare took the watch and looked at it gloomily : then he dipped it into his cup of tea , and looked at it again : but he could think of nothing better to say than his first remark , ` It was the BEST butter , you know . ' Alice had been looking over his shoulder with some curiosity . ` What a funny watch ! ' she remarked . ` It tells the day of the month , and does n't tell what o'clock it is ! ' ` Why should it ? ' muttered the Hatter . ` Does YOUR watch tell you what year it is ? ' ` Of course not , ' Alice replied very readily : ` but that 's because it stays the same year for such a long time together . ' ` Which is just the case with MINE , ' said the Hatter . Alice felt dreadfully puzzled . The Hatter 's remark seemed to have no sort of meaning in it , and yet it was certainly English . ' I do n't quite understand you , ' she said , as politely as she could . ` The Dormouse is asleep again , ' said the Hatter , and he poured a little hot tea upon its nose .
The Dormouse shook its head impatiently , and said , without opening its eyes , ` XXXXX course , of course ; just what I was going to remark myself . '
