What a funny watch! It tells the day of the month, and doesn’t tell what o’clock it is.

Hatter

Why should it? Does your watch tell you what year it is?


Alice

Of course not, but that’s because it stays the same year for such a long time together.

Hatter

Which is just the case with mine.

Alice

I don’t quite understand you. What you said had no sort of meaning in it and yet it was certainly English.
