cried the Red Queen . ` Five times as warm , AND five times as cold -- just as I 'm five times as rich as you are , AND five times as clever ! ' Alice sighed and gave it up . ` It 's exactly like a riddle with no answer ! ' she thought . ` Humpty Dumpty saw it too , ' the White Queen went on in a low voice , more as if she were talking to herself . ` He came to the door with a corkscrew in his hand -- ' ` What did he want ? ' said the Red Queen . ` He said he WOULD come in , ' the White Queen went on , ` because he was looking for a hippopotamus . Now , as it happened , there was n't such a thing in the house , that morning . ' ` Is there generally ? ' Alice asked in an astonished tone . ` Well , only on Thursdays , ' said the Queen . ' I know what he came for , ' said Alice : ` he wanted to punish the fish , because -- ' Here the White Queen began again . ` It was SUCH a thunderstorm , you ca n't think ! ' -LRB- ` She NEVER could , you know , ' said the Red Queen . -RRB- ` And part of the roof came off , and ever so much thunder got in -- and it went rolling round the room in great lumps -- and knocking over the tables and things -- till I was so frightened , I could n't remember my own name ! ' Alice thought to herself , ' I never should TRY to remember my name in the middle of an accident ! Where would be the use of it ? ' but she did not say this aloud , for fear of hurting the poor Queen 's feeling .
` Your Majesty must excuse her , ' the Red Queen XXXXX to Alice , taking one of the White Queen 's hands in her own , and gently stroking it : ` she means well , but she ca n't help saying foolish things , as a general rule . '
