Epigraph: 'What a beautiful belt you've got on!' Alice suddenly remarked. 'At least,' she corrected herself on second thoughts, 'a beautiful cravat, I should have said - no a belt, I mean - I beg your pardon!' She added in dismay, for Humpty Dumpty looked thoroughly offended, and she began to wish she hadn't chosen the subject. 'If only I knew,' she thought to herself, ' which was neck and which was waist!' Evidently Humpty Dumpty was very angry, though he said nothing for a minute or two. When he did speak again, it was in a deep growl. 'It is a - most - provoking - thing,' he said at last, 'when a person doesn't know a cravat from a belt!' - Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass
