The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll: there was an uncomfortable silence for a minute or two.
The Red Queen broke the silence by saying to the White Queen,
`I invite you to Alice's dinner-party this afternoon.'
The White Queen smiled feebly, and said `And I invite YOU.'
`I didn't know I was to have a party at all,' said Alice; `but
if there is to be one, I think _I_ ought to invite the guests.'
`We gave you the opportunity of doing it,' the Red Queen
remarked: `but I daresay you've not had many lessons in manners
yet?'
`Manners are not taught in lessons,' said Alice. `Lessons
teach you to do sums, and things of that sort.'
