"At any rate, I'd better be getting out of the wood, for really it's coming on very dark. Do you think it's going to rain?" Tweedledum asked, as he prepared to leave the woods. He then spread a large umbrella over himself and his brother, scanning it for signs of rain. Tweedledum doubted it would rain there under the umbrella, saying, "No, I don't think it is, at least—not under here. Nohow."

Tweedledee responded that it might rain outside, but there was no objection if it did. He humorously added, "It may—if it chooses," emphasizing their indifferent attitude toward the possibility of rain. Their playful exchange highlights the whimsical tone of Lewis Carroll's story, combining practicality with a touch of silliness.
