Words were always very important to Lewis Carroll; words in books, words in letters, and invented words. Some of his inventions have strayed into the standard English dictionary, such as the verbs "to galumph" and "to chortle," among others. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898), to give him his real name, was certainly a master of words, yet some words were the master of him. He suffered a slight speech hesitation, which was a great concern for him. He tried various remedies, and sought guidance from therapists and consultants, but it probably made little difference. Reading two consecutive words beginning with the same consonant was one cause of his difficulty. This made him careful with the choice of words; he chose wisely to avoid any possible hesitation.
