' ` I 'm a poor man , ' the Hatter went on , ` and most things twinkled after that -- only the March Hare said -- ' ' I did n't ! ' the March Hare interrupted in a great hurry . ` You did ! ' said the Hatter . ' I deny it ! ' said the March Hare . ` He denies it , ' said the King : ` leave out that part . ' ` Well , at any rate , the Dormouse said -- ' the Hatter went on , looking anxiously round to see if he would deny it too : but the Dormouse denied nothing , being fast asleep . ` After that , ' continued the Hatter , ' I cut some more bread-and-butter -- ' ` But what did the Dormouse say ? ' one of the jury asked . ` That I ca n't remember , ' said the Hatter . ` You MUST remember , ' remarked the King , ` or I 'll have you executed . ' The miserable Hatter dropped his teacup and bread-and-butter , and went down on one knee . ` I 'm a poor man , your Majesty , ' he began . ` You 're a very poor speaker , ' said the King .
