The Red Queen broke the silence by saying to the White Queen , ' I invite you to Alice 's dinner-party this afternoon . ' The White Queen smiled feebly , and said ` And I invite YOU . ' ' I did n't know I was to have a party at all , ' said Alice ; ` but if there is to be one , I think I ought to invite the guests . ' ` We gave you the opportunity of doing it , ' the Red Queen remarked : ` but I daresay you 've not had many lessons in manners yet ? ' ` Manners are not taught in lessons , ' said Alice . ` Lessons teach you to do sums , and things of that sort . ' ` And you do Addition ? ' the White Queen asked . ` What 's one and one and one and one and one and one and one and one and one and one ? ' ' I do n't know , ' said Alice . ' I lost count . ' ` She ca n't do Addition , ' the Red Queen interrupted . ` Can you do Subtraction ? Take nine from eight . ' ` Nine from eight I ca n't , you know , ' Alice replied very readily : ` but -- ' ` She ca n't do Subtraction , ' said the White Queen . ` Can you do Division ? Divide a loaf by a knife -- what 's the answer to that ? ' ' I suppose -- ' Alice was beginning , but the Red Queen answered for her . ` Bread-and-butter , of course . Try another Subtraction sum .
