And the Gryphon added ` Come , let 's hear some of YOUR adventures . ' ' I could tell you my adventures -- beginning from this morning , ' said Alice a little timidly : ` but it 's no use going back to yesterday , because I was a different person then . ' ` Explain all that , ' said the Mock Turtle . ` No , no ! The adventures first , ' said the Gryphon in an impatient tone : ` explanations take such a dreadful time . ' So Alice began telling them her adventures from the time when she first saw the White Rabbit . She was a little nervous about it just at first , the two creatures got so close to her , one on each side , and opened their eyes and mouths so VERY wide , but she gained courage as she went on . Her listeners were perfectly quiet till she got to the part about her repeating ` YOU ARE OLD , FATHER WILLIAM , ' to the Caterpillar , and the words all coming different , and then the Mock Turtle drew a long breath , and said ` That 's very curious . ' ` It 's all about as curious as it can be , ' said the Gryphon . ` It all came different ! ' the Mock Turtle repeated thoughtfully . ' I should like to hear her try and repeat something now . Tell her to begin . ' He looked at the Gryphon as if he thought it had some kind of authority over Alice . ` Stand up and repeat '' 'T IS THE VOICE OF THE SLUGGARD , '' ' said the Gryphon . ` How the creatures order one about , and make one repeat lessons ! ' thought Alice ; ' I might as well be at school at once . ' However , she got up , and began to repeat it , but her head was so full of the Lobster Quadrille , that she hardly knew what she was saying , and the words came very queer indeed : -- '' Tis the voice of the Lobster ; I heard him declare , `` You have baked me too brown , I must sugar my hair . '' As a duck with its eyelids , so he with his nose Trims his belt and his buttons , and turns out his toes . ' -LSB- later editions continued as follows When the sands are all dry , he is gay as a lark , And will talk in contemptuous tones of the Shark , But , when the tide rises and sharks are around , His voice has a timid and tremulous sound . -RSB-
` That 's different XXXXX what I used to say when I was a child , ' said the Gryphon .
