From Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and Through the Looking Glass, by Lewis Carroll

"And how exactly like an egg he is!" she said aloud, standing with her
hands ready to catch him, for she was every moment expecting him to
fall.
"It's _very_ provoking," Humpty Dumpty said after a long silence,
looking away from Alice as he spoke, "to be called an egg,---_very_!"
		-- Through the Looking-Glass
		   Chapter vi
