Which Alice?

ALICE IN PUZZLE-LAND
premiss that no man in the town belongs to all the clubs. Why?
Because if a man belonged to all the clubs, then he would belong to
the Hearts Club in particular, yet no man belonging to all the clubs
can belong to the Hearts Club. Therefore, no man belongs to all the
clubs."
"I see that," said Alice.
"This means," he continued, "that every man is outside at least
one club, but any man outside any club loves all the ladies in the
Hearts Club. Therefore, all the men in town love all the ladies in the
Hearts Club, but since all the ladies are in the Hearts Club, then all
the men in town love all the ladies in town."
"That was interesting!" said Alice. "Tell me another!"
"Well," said Humpty Dumpty, "would you believe it if I told you I
had a baby?"
"Why not?" said Alice.
"And would you also believe it if I told you that everybody loves
my baby?"
"Why not?" said Alice.
"And would you also believe it if I told you that my baby loves
only me?"
"I don't see why not," replied Alice.
"Ah!" said Humpty Dumpty, "if you believed all those things,
then you'd be inconsistent!"
"Why?" asked Alice.
"Or at least you would be driven to a very absurd conclusion: You
don't believe I'm my own baby, do you?"
"Of course not!" replied Alice.
"Well, you'd have to if you believed all those other things!"
"Why?" asked Alice, who was very puzzled.
"It's just simple logic, that's all. Look, suppose those other things
were true. Since everyone loves my baby, then my baby also loves
my baby."
"Oh, I hadn't thought of that!" said Alice.
"Of course not, but you should have, you know. You should always
think of everything."
