"After you have figured out who he is, your second job is to figure<br />

out who I am, you know!"<br />

Tweedledum, and if he is Tweedledum, you must be Tweedledee.<br />

Even a dunce could figure that out!"<br />

"Quite right," he replied, "and now let's play!"<br />

ROUND ONE At this point, the other brother said, "1 am<br />

each round, we both disappear into the house, where we have a<br />
