 Chapter 4: Tweedledum and Tweedledee | Lenny's Alice in Wonderland site
Tweedledum spread a large umbrella over himself and his brother, and looked up into it.
All this time Tweedledee was trying his best to fold up the umbrella, with himself in it: which was such an extraordinary thing to do, that it quite took off Alice's attention from the angry brother.
`It's the crow!' Tweedledum cried out in a shrill voice of alarm: and the two brothers took to their heels and were out of sight in a moment.

 Chapter 4 - Through The Looking-Glass - Lewis Carroll - Tales of Wysardry
“You’ve been wrong!” cried Tweedledum.  “The first thing in a visit is to say ‘How d’ye do?’ and shake hands!”  And here the two brothers gave each other a hug, and then they held out the two hands that were free, to shake hands with her.
Alice couldn’t say honestly that he was.  He had a tall red night-cap on, with a tassel, and he was lying crumpled up into a sort of untidy heap, and snoring loud — “fit to snore his head off!” as Tweedledum remarked.
