Here is the sentence:

"The Duchess! The Duchess!" he (the White Rabbit) muttered, "Oh, my dear paws! Oh, my fur and whiskers! She's going to get me executed! Where could I have dropped those things?"

Is all the sentences inside the speech bubbles consider as Object? Pls tell....
NO idea at all!

In my opinion, all of the quotations are objects of the verb "muttered". That said, the last two quotations are complete sentences in and of themselves.
