You can't think how glad I'm. am to see you again, you dear old thing, said the Duchess, as she took her arm affectionately into Alice's loft together. This was very glad to find her in such a pleasant temper, and thought to herself that perhaps it was only the pepper that had made her so savage when they met in the kitchen. I'm a Duchess, she said to herself, Not in a very hopeful tone though. I won't have any pepper in my kitchen at all. Soup does very well without.

Maybe it's always pepper that makes people hot-tempered, she went on, very much pleased at having found out a new kind of rule and vinegar that makes them sour, and chamomile that makes them bitter, barley sugar, and such things that make children sweet-tempered. I only wish people knew that

wouldn't be so stingy about it, you know. She had quite forgotten the Duchess by this time. Anne was a little startled when she heard a voice close to her ear. You're thinking about something, my dear, and that makes you forget to talk. I can't tell you just now what the moral that is, but I shall remember it in a bit.

Perhaps it hasn't one, Alice ventured to remark. Tut, tut-tut-child, said the Duchess. Everything's got a moral. If only you can find it. And she squeezed herself up closer to Alice's side. As she spoke, Alice did not much like keeping so close to her. First, because the Duchess was very ugly. and secondly, because she was exactly the right height to rest her chin upon Alice's shoulder.

And it was an uncomfortable sharp chin. However, she did not like to be rude, so she bore it as well as she could. The game's going on rather better now, she said, by way of keeping up the conversation a little. Tis so, said the Duchess, and the moral of that is, Oh, tis love, tis love that make the world go round. Somebody said, Alice whispered, that it's done by everybody minding their own business. Much the same thing, said the Duchess,

digging her sharp little chin into Alice's shoulder, as she added, that is, take care of the sense and the sounds which take care of themselves. How fond is she of finding morals in the sense, things Alice thought to herself. I dare say you're wondering why I shouldn't put my arm round your waist, the Duchess said after a pause. The reason is that I'm doubtful about the temper of your flamingo. Shall I try the experiment? He might bite, Alice cautiously replied, not feeling at all anxious to have the experiment tried. Very true, said the Duchess,

Plamingos and mustard both bite. And the moral of that is, birds of a feather flocked together. Only mustard isn't a bird, Alice remarked. Right as usual, said the Duchess, what a clear way you have of putting things. It's a mineral, I think, said Alice. Of course it is, said the Duchess, who seems ready to agree with anything Alice said. there's a large mustard mine near here, and the moral of that is, The more there is of mine, the less there is of yours.

Oh, I know, exclaimed Alice, we'd not attended to this last remark. It's a vegetable, it doesn't look like one, but it is. I quite agree with you, said the Duchess. And the moral of that is, be what you would seem to be, or if you'd like it put more simply never imagine yourself not to be otherwise but it might appear to others that you were or might have been not otherwise

than what you had been would have appeared to them be otherwise I think I would understand that better Alice said very politely if I had it written down but I can't quite follow as you say it. There's nothing to it, what I could say if I choose. The Duchess replied in a pleased tone.

Pray don't trouble yourself to say it any longer than that, said Alice. Oh, don't talk about trouble, said the Duchess. I make a present of everything I've said as yet. A cheap sort of present thought Alice. I'm glad they don't give birthday presents like that. but she did not venture to say it out loud. Thinking again, the Duchess asked, with another dig of her sharp little chin.

I have a right to think, said Alice sharply, for she was beginning to feel a little worried. Just about as much right, said the Duchess, as pigs have to fly, and the... But here to Alice's great surprise, the Duchess's voice died away, even in the middle of her favourite word, moral, and the arm that linked into hers began to tremble. Alice looked up and there stood the Queen in front of them,

with her arms folded, frowning like a thunderstorm. A fine day, Your Majesty. The Duchess began a low, weak voice. I give you fair warning, shouted the Queen. stamping on the ground as she spoke. Either you or your head must be off. And that in about half no time, take your choice. The Duchess took her choice and was gone in a moment.

Let's go on with the game, the Queen said to Alice. And Alice was too much frightened to say a word, but slowly followed her back to the croquet lawn. The other guests had taken advantage at the Queen's absence, and were resting in the shade. However, the moment they saw her, they hurried back to the game. The Queen merely remarked that a moment's delay would cost them their lives. All the time they were playing, the Queen never left off, quarrelling with the other players and shouting, off with his head, all off with her head. Those who,

whom she sentenced were taken into custody by the soldiers, who of course had to leave off being arches to do this, so that by the end of half an hour, also there were no arches left, and all the players except the king, the queen and Alice were in custody, and under a sentence of execution, the queen left off quite out of breath and said to Alice, have you seen the mock turtle yet? No, said Alice. I don't even know what a mock turtle is. It's the thing mock turtle soup is made from, said the queen.

I never saw one, or heard of one, said Alice. Come on then, said the queen, and he shall tell you the history. As they walked off together, Alice heard the king say in a low voice. to the company general, things she said to herself, for she had felt quite unhappy and the number of executions the Queen had ordered. They very soon came upon a griffin, lying fast asleep in the sun.

Up, lazy thing, said the Queen, and take this young lady to see the mock turtle and to hear his story. I must go back and see after some executions, I have ordered, and she walked off, leaving Alice alone with the Griffin. Alice did not quite like the look of the creature, but on the whole she thought it would be quite as safe to stay with it as to go after the savage queen. So she waited. The griffin sat up and rubbed its eyes, then it watched the queen till she was out of sight,

Then it chuckled. What fun, said the Griffin. Half to itself. Half to Alice. What is the fun? said Alice. Why she, said the Griffin. It's all her fancy.

Never execute nobody you know. Come on. Everybody says come on here, thought Alice. As she went slowly after it. I never was so ordered about in all my life, never. They had not gone very far before they saw the mock turtle in the distance, sitting sad and lonely, on a little ledge of rock, and as they came near her, Alice could hear him sighing, as if his heart would break. She pitied him deeply. What is his sorrow? She asked

the griffin, and the griffin answered, very nearly in the same words as before. It's all as fancy that. He hasn't got no sorrow, you know. Come on. So they went up to the Malk Turtle, who looked at them with large eyes full of tears, but said nothing. This here, young lady, said the griffin. She wants for to know your history. she do. I'll tell it to her, said the mock turtle, in a deep, hollow tone. Sit down, both of you, and don't speak a word till I have finished. They sat down, and nobody spoke for some minutes. I don't see how he can ever finish if he doesn't begin. So she waited patiently. Once said the mock turtle at last with a deep sigh.

I was a real turtle. These words were followed by a large silence. Broken only by an occasional exclamation of a crotch from the griffin, heavy sobbing, was very nearly getting up and saying, thank you, sir, for your interesting story. But she could not help thinking there must be more to come. So she sat still and said nothing.

When we were little, the mock turtle went on at last. More calmly, though, still sobbing a little now and then. We went to school in the sea. The master was an old turtle. We used to call him tortoise. Why did you call him tortoise if he wasn't one? Alyssa asked. We called him tortoise because he'd.

taught us, said the mock turtle angrily. Really, you are very dull. You ought to be ashamed of yourself for asking such a simple question, added the griffin, and they both sat silent, and looked at poor Alice, you felt ready to sink into the earth. At last, the griffin said to the mock turtle, drive on, old fellow, don't be all day about it. And he went on in these words. Yes, we went to the school in the sea, though you mayn't believe it. I never said I didn't, interrupted Alice. You did, said the mock turtle. Hold your tongue, added the griffin before Alice could speak again. The mock turtle went on. We had the best of educations. In fact, we went to school every day. I've been to a day school too, said Alice. You'd need a needn't.

to be so proud as all that. With extras? Asked the mock turtle a little anxiously. Yes, said Alice, we learned French and music. And washing? said the mock turtle. Certainly not, said Alice indignantly. Ah, then yours wasn't really a good school, said the mock turtle in a tone of great relief. Now at ours they had at the end of the bill.

French music and washing extra You couldn't have wanted it much said Alice Living at the bottom of the sea I couldn't afford to learn it said the mocturtle with a sigh I only took the regular course What was that inquired Alice Reeling and writhing of course to begin with The mock turtle replied

And then the different branches of Arithmetic, Ambition distraction, uglification, and derision. I've never heard of uglification, Alice ventured to say.

What is that? The griffin lifted up both his paws and surprise. What? Never heard of uglifying, it exclaimed. You know what to beautify is,

I suppose. Yes, said Alice doubtfully, it means to make anything prettier. Well then, the griffin went on. If you don't know what to uglify is, you are a simpleton. Alice did not feel encouraged to ask any more questions about it.

So she turned to the mock turtle and said, What else had you to learn? Well, there was a mystery, the mock turtle replied. counting off the subjects on his flappers, mystery, ancient and the modern, with seography. Then drawing,

the drawing master, was an old congeril, but he used to come once a week. He'd taught us drawing, stretching and fainting in coils. What was that like, said Alice. Well, I can't show it to you, myself, the mock turtle said. I'm too stiff, and the griffin never learnt it. Hadn't time,

said the griffin. I went to the classical master, though. He was an old crab, he was. I never went to him, the mock turtle said with a sigh. He taught, laughing in grief they used to say. So he did, so he did, said the griffin, sighing in his turn. And both the creatures hid their faces in their paws. How many hours a day? Did you do lessons, said Alice, in a hurry, to change the subject? Ten hours the first day, said the mock turtle. Nine hours the next, and so on.

What a curious plan, exclaimed Alice. That's the reason they're called lessons, the Griffin remarked, because they lesson from day to day. This was quite a new idea to Alice, and she thought it over a little before she made her next remark. Then the eleventh day must have been a holiday. Of course it was, said the mock turtle. And how did you manage on the 12th? Alice went on eagerly. That's enough about lessons the Griffin interrupted in a very decided tone.
