She found herself saying(and at the moment it was a relief to say):
“No. I suppose that other world must be all a dream.”
“Yes. It is all a dream,”said the Witch,always thrumming.
“Yes,all a dream,”said Jill.

“No,”said Jill and Scrubb,“never was such a world.”
“There never was any world but mine,”said the Witch.
“There never was any world but yours,”said they.
