Which excerpt from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll best implies that Tweedledee is a silly character?

“What shall I repeat to her?” said Tweedledee, looking round at Tweedledum with great solemn eyes, and not noticing Alice's question.
“He ate more than the Carpenter, though,” said Tweedledee. “You see he held his handkerchief in front, so that the Carpenter couldn't count how many he took: contrariwise.”
“Why, about YOU!” Tweedledee exclaimed, clapping his hands triumphantly. “And if he left off dreaming about you, where do you suppose you'd be?”
All this time Tweedledee was trying his best to fold up the umbrella, with himself in it: which was such an extraordinary thing to do, that it quite took off Alice's attention from the angry brother.

The excerpt that best implies Tweedledee is a silly character is:

"All this time Tweedledee was trying his best to fold up the umbrella, with himself in it: which was such an extraordinary thing to do, that it quite took off Alice's attention from the angry brother."

This line indicates Tweedledee's nonsensical and silly behavior, as trying to fold up an umbrella with himself inside it is a ridiculous and impractical task, highlighting his silliness.
