Alice sighed wearily. `I think you might do something better with the time,' she said, `than waste it in asking riddles that have no answers.'`If you knew Time as well as I do,' said the Hatter, `you wouldn't talk about wasting it. It's him.'`I don't know what you mean,' said Alice.`Of course you don't!' the Hatter said, tossing his head contemptuously. `I dare say you never even spoke to Time!

Alice grows frustrated and tired, suggesting that the Hatter should use his time more wisely rather than asking unanswerable riddles. She expresses her impatience and seems to dismiss their riddling as unproductive. Her comment reflects her view that wasting time on pointless questions isn't worthwhile.

The Hatter responds by claiming he understands time better than she does, implying that it's actually Time itself that is to blame. Alice admits she doesn't understand what he means, to which the Hatter dismissively suggests she has never truly engaged with the concept of Time, implying that her perspective is limited. This exchange highlights their contrasting views on the value and understanding of time.
