"I wish I could manage to be glad!" The Queen said, "Only I never can remember the rule.  You must be very happy, living in this wood, and being glad whenever you like!" 
"Only it is so very lonely here!" Alice said in a melancholy voice; and, at the thought of her loneliness, two large tears came rolling down her cheeks. 
"Oh, don't go on like that!" cried the poor Queen, wringing her hands in despair.  "Consider what a great girl you are.  Consider what a long way you've come today.  Consider what o' clock it is.  Consider anything, only don't cry!"  Alice could not help laughing at this, even in the midst of her tears. 
"Can you keep from crying by considering things?" she asked.  "That's the way it's done," the Queen said with great decision: "nobody can do two things at once, you know."

"And what does it live on?"
"Weak tea with cream in it."
A new difficulty came into Alice's head,
"Supposing it couldn't find any?" she suggested.
"Then it would die, ofcourse."
"But that must happen very often," Alice remarked thoughtfully.
"It always happens," said the Gnat.
