..Come there's no use in crying like that!.. said Alice to herself,rather sharply; ..I advice you to leave off this
minute!.. She generally gave herself very good advice, (though she very seldom followed), and sometimes she scolded herself so severely as to bring tears into her eyes; and once she remembered trying to box her own ears for having cheated herself in a game of croguet she was playing against herself, for this curious child was very fond of pretending to be two people. ..But it's no use now.. thought poor Alice, ..to pretend to be two people! Why, there's harldy enough of me left to make one respectable person!..
