Carroll was the dodo in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Late in life, he developed debilitating, aura-hallucinating migraines and what doctors at the time diagnosed as epilepsy. A childhood fever also left him deaf in one ear, and a bout of whooping cough at 17 weakened his chest for the rest of his life. It stuck with him throughout adulthood and ultimately became part of his personal mythos-including the evidence-free claim that he only stuttered around adults, but spoke without problem to children. He developed a stutter-which he called his “ hesitation”-at an early age. He suffered from a stutter for most of his life.ĭodgson had a rough childhood. Dodgson also considered it useful for the blind. The device is a card with 16 square holes (two rows of eight) that offers a guide for the user to enter a shorthand code of dots and dashes.
