said the Queen , `` and take this young lady to see the Mock Turtle , and to hear its history . I must go back and see after some executions I ordered , '' and she walked off , leaving Alice with the Gryphon . Alice did not quite like the look of the creature , but on the whole she thought it quite as safe to stay as to go after that savage Queen : so she waited . The Gryphon sat up and rubbed its eyes : then it watched the Queen till she was out of sight : then it chuckled . `` What fun ! '' said the Gryphon , half to itself , half to Alice . `` What is the fun ? '' said Alice . `` Why , she , '' said the Gryphon ; `` it 's all her fancy , that : they never executes nobody , you know : come on ! '' `` Everybody says ` come on ! ' here , '' thought Alice as she walked slowly after the Gryphon ; `` I never was ordered about so before in all my life -- never ! '' They had not gone far before they saw the Mock Turtle in the distance , sitting sad and lonely on a little ledge of rock , and , as they came nearer , Alice could here it sighing as if its heart would break . She pitied it deeply : `` what is its sorrow ? '' she asked the Gryphon , and the Gryphon answered , very nearly in the same words as before , `` it 's all its fancy , that : it has n't got no sorrow , you know : come on ! '' -LSB- Illustration -RSB- So they went up to the Mock Turtle , who looked at them with large eyes full of tears , but said nothing . `` This here young lady '' said the Gryphon , `` wants for to know your history , she do . '' `` I 'll tell it , '' said the Mock Turtle , in a deep hollow tone , `` sit down , and do n't speak till I 've finished . '' So they sat down , and no one spoke for some minutes : Alice thought to herself `` I do n't see how it can ever finish , if it does n't begin , '' but 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 very long silence , broken only by an occasional exclamation of `` hjckrrh ! ''
from the XXXXX , and the constant heavy sobbing of the Mock Turtle .
