Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There (2)
Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There (1871 novel)
Jane of Lantern Hill, chapter 4 (“Jane had longed to get into the looking glass as Alice did”).
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
“That’s enough to begin with,” Humpty Dumpty interrupted: “there are plenty of hard words there. ‘Brillig’ means four o’clock in the afternoon – the time when you begin broiling things for dinner.” (Chapter 6)
Jane of Lantern Hill, chapter 16 (“And now, Jane, it’s brillig … ‘Four o’clock in the afternoon.’ Jane knew her Alice”).
