followed by a very long silence, broken only by an occasional
exclamation of 'Hjckrrh!' from the Gryphon, and the constant heavy
sobbing of the Mock Turtle. Alice was very nearly getting up and
saying, 'Thank you, sir, for your interesting story,' but she could not

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.
