` Do I look like it ? ' he said . -LRB- Which he certainly did NOT , being made entirely of cardboard . -RRB- ` All right , so far , ' said the King , and he went on muttering over the verses to himself : ' `` WE KNOW IT TO BE TRUE -- '' that 's the jury , of course -- `` I GAVE HER ONE , THEY GAVE HIM TWO -- '' why , that must be what he did with the tarts , you know -- ' ` But , it goes on `` THEY ALL RETURNED FROM HIM TO YOU , '' ' said Alice . ` Why , there they are ! ' said the King triumphantly , pointing to the tarts on the table . ` Nothing can be clearer than THAT . Then again -- `` BEFORE SHE HAD THIS FIT -- '' you never had fits , my dear , I think ? ' he said to the Queen . ` Never ! ' said the Queen furiously , throwing an inkstand at the Lizard as she spoke . -LRB- The unfortunate little Bill had left off writing on his slate with one finger , as he found it made no mark ; but he now hastily began again , using the ink , that was trickling down his face , as long as it lasted . -RRB- ` Then the words do n't FIT you , ' said the King , looking round the court with a smile . There was a dead silence . ` It 's a pun ! ' the King added in an offended tone , and everybody laughed , ` Let the jury consider their verdict , ' the King said , for about the twentieth time that day . ` No , no ! ' said the Queen . ` Sentence first -- verdict afterwards . ' ` Stuff and nonsense ! '
said XXXXX loudly .
