Tweedledum looked round him with a satisfied smile . ' I do n't suppose , ' he said , ` there 'll be a tree left standing , for ever so far round , by the time we 've finished ! ' ` And all about a rattle ! ' said Alice , still hoping to make them a LITTLE ashamed of fighting for such a trifle . ' I should n't have minded it so much , ' said Tweedledum , ` if it had n't been a new one . ' ' I wish the monstrous crow would come ! ' thought Alice . ` There 's only one sword , you know , ' Tweedledum said to his brother : ` but you can have the umbrella -- it 's quite as sharp . Only we must begin quick . It 's getting as dark as it can . ' ` And darker , ' said Tweedledee . It was getting dark so suddenly that Alice thought there must be a thunderstorm coming on . ` What a thick black cloud that is ! ' she said . ` And how fast it comes ! Why , I do believe it 's got wings ! ' ` It 's the crow ! ' Tweedledum cried out in a shrill voice of alarm : and the two brothers took to their heels and were out of sight in a moment . Alice ran a little way into the wood , and stopped under a large tree . ` It can never get at me HERE , ' she thought : ` it 's far too large to squeeze itself in among the trees .
But I XXXXX it would n't flap its wings so -- it makes quite a hurricane in the wood -- here 's somebody 's shawl being blown away ! '
