Quote 55 of 55

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

"Where's the servant whose business it is to answer the door?" she
began angrily.
"Which door?" said the Frog.
Alice almost stamped with irritation at the slow drawl in which he
spoke.  "_This_ door, of course!"
The Frog looked at the door with his large dull eyes for a minute: then
he went nearer and rubbed it with his thumb, as if he were trying
whether the paint would come off: then he looked at Alice.
"To answer the door?" he said. "What's it been asking of?"
