  "To begin with," said the Cat, "a dog's not mad. You grant that?"
  "I suppose so," said Alice.
  "Well, then," the Cat went on, "you see, a dog growls when it's
angry, and wags its tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm
pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad."
  "I call it purring, not growling," said Alice.
  "Call it what you like," said the Cat.
