"I know, Mr.Dodgson.

If I remember correctly, this is the same book of which you sent a copy to Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, when she wrote to you for a personal copy of your _Alice_." Dodgson made no comment.

The face was absolutely without expression save a kindly compassion intended to convey to the editor that he was making a terrible mistake.
"As I said to you in the beginning, Mr.Bok, you are in error.

You are not speaking to 'Lewis Carroll.'" And then: "Is this the first time you have visited Oxford ?" Bok said it was; and there followed the most delightful two hours with the Oxford mathematician and the Oxford don, walking about and into the wonderful college buildings, and afterward the three had a bite of lunch together.

But all efforts to return to "Lewis Carroll" were futile.
