1907 was before my day <g>, but the feel of is this market is different, that's why I call it the Humpty Dumpty market, of just counting on all the king's horses and all the king's men riding to the rescue to put the crazies back on their high ledges. And little wonder, as even a bear like me almost expects a flagpole rally out of nowhere at any moment. And besides haven't more than one day of big declines been abolished? That's what Humpty told Alice.

Don't you think you'd be safer down on the ground?' Alice went on, not with any idea of making another riddle, but simply in her good-natured anxiety for the queer creature. `That wall is so very narrow!'

`What tremendously easy riddles you ask!' Humpty Dumpty growled out. `Of course I don't think so! Why, if ever I did fall off -- which there's no chance of -- but if I did --' Here he pursed up his lips, and looked so solemn and grand that Alice could hardly help laughing. `If I did fall,' he went on, `the King has promised me -- ah, you may turn pale, if you like! You didn't think I was going to say that, did you? The King has promised me -- with his very own mouth -- to -- to --'

To send all his horses and all his men,' Alice interrupted, rather unwisely.
