"The table was a large one, but the three were all crowded together at one corner of it: `No room! No room!' they cried out when they saw Alice coming. 
`There's plenty of room!' said Alice indignantly, and she sat down in a large arm-chair at one end of the table. 
`Have some wine,' the March Hare said in an encouraging tone. 
Alice looked all round the table, but there was nothing on it but tea. `I don't see any wine,' she remarked. 
`There isn't any,' said the March Hare. 
`Then it wasn't very civil of you to offer it,' said Alice angrily."
Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

As for GLD and its like, when the tea pot gets tipped, let's see what comes out.
