THE MOCK TURTLE

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 Mystery —the Mock Turtle replied, counting off the subjects on his flappers—, Mystery, ancient and modern, with Seaography: then Drawling… the Drawling-master was an old conger-eel, that used to come once a week: he taught us Drawling, Stretching, and Fainting in Coils.
