In the inverted (looking-glass) version, it clearly says "wabe" but in the not-inverted ('normalised') version it says "wade". A typo in the script? Google brings up both "wabe" and "wade". --FalcoPfalzgraf (talk) 12:47, 2 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

"Of one thing we can be certain, the 'wade' for 'wabe' misprint on p.21 is present in all copies of the First Edition of Through the Looking Glass 1872 -to the best of our knowledge."
