A mad tea-party

- No room! No room!
- There's PLENTY of room!
- Have some wine.
- I don't see any wine..
- There isn't any.
- Then it wasn't very civil of you to offer it
- It wasn't very civil of you to sit down without being invited.
- I didn't know it was YOUR table, it's laid for a great many more than three.
- Your hair wants cutting
- You should learn not to make personal remarks, it's very rude.
- Why is a raven like a writing-desk?
- I believe I can guess that
- Do you mean that you think you can find out the answer to it?
- Exactly so!
- Then you should say what you mean
- I do, at least - at least I mean what I say - that's the same thing, you know.
- Not the same thing a bit! You might just as well say that "I see what I eat" is the same thing as "I eat what I see"!
- You might just as well say, that "I like what I get" is the same thing as "I get what I like"!
- You might just as well say, that "I breathe when I sleep" is the same thing as "I sleep when I breathe"!
- It IS the same thing with you!

Have you guessed the riddle yet?

- What day of the month is it?
- The fourth.
- Two days wrong! I told you butter wouldn't suit the works!
- It was the BEST butter!
- Yes, but some crumbs must have got in as well, you shouldn't have put it in with the bread-knife!
- It was the BEST butter, you know.
- What a funny watch! It tells the day of the month, and doesn't tell what o'clock it is!
- Why should it? Does YOUR watch tell you what year it is?
- Of course not, but that's because it stays the same year for such a long time together.
- Which is just the case with MINE.
- I don't quite understand you.

- Have you guessed the riddle yet?
- No, I give it up, that's the answer?
- I haven't the slightest idea!
- Nor I.
- I think you might do something better with the time, than waste it in asking riddles that have no answers.
- If you knew Time as well as I do, you wouldn't talk about wasting IT. It's HIM.
- I don't know what you mean..
- Of course you don't! I dare say you never even spoke to Time!
- Perhaps not, but I know I have to beat time when I learn music.
- Ah! that accounts for it. He won't stand beating. Now, if you only kept on good terms with him, he'd do almost anything you liked with the clock!
