Tweedledum thinks that Tweedledee has broken his rattle.
Tweedledum sprang out from under the umbrella and seized her by the wrist.
`Do you see that?' he said....
`It's only a rattle,' Alice said, after a careful examination of the little white thing. `Not a rattle snake, you know,' she added hastily, thinking that he was frightened: only an old rattle -- quite old and broken.'
`I knew it was!' cried Tweedledum, beginning to stamp about wildly and tear his hair. `It's spoilt, of course!'.....
Alice laid her hand upon his arm, and said in a soothing tone, `You needn't be so angry about an old rattle.'
`But it isn't old!' Tweedledum cried, in a greater fury than ever. `It's new, I tell you -- I bought it yesterday -- my nice NEW RATTLE!' and his voice rose to a perfect scream....
`Of course you agree to have a battle?' Tweedledum said in a calmer tone.
`I suppose so,' the other sulkily replied, as he crawled out of the umbrella: `only she must help us to dress up, you know.'
