Oh, don't go on like that!" cried the poor Queen, wringing her hands in despair. "Consider what a great girl you are. Consider what a long way you've come today. Consider what o'clock it is. Consider anything, only don't cry!"Alice could not help laughing at this, even in the midst of her tears. "Can you keep from crying by considering things?" she asked."That's that way it's done," the Queen said with great decision: "nobody can do two things at once, you know.
The Queen pleads with Alice not to cry, urging her to think about her qualities, her progress that day, and even the time, in hopes of calming her down. She insists that considering various things can help stop tears, showcasing her practical approach to emotional distress.
Alice finds humor in the Queen's advice, questioning if merely thinking about things can prevent crying. The Queen affirms confidently that it is the proven method, emphasizing that one cannot do two things simultaneously—like crying and thinking at the same time. This highlights the Queen's straightforward wisdom and the whimsical logic of Wonderland.
