   `I don't know what you mean by "glory",' Alice said.   
      
   Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. `Of course you don't -- till I tell   
   you. I meant "there's a nice knock-down argument for you!"'   
      
   `But "glory" doesn't mean "a nice knock-down argument",' Alice objected.   
      
   `When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, `it   
   means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less.'   
      
   `The question is,' said Alice, `whether you can make words mean so many   
   different things.'   
      
   `The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, `which is to be master -- that's   
   all.'
