Alice was thoroughly puzzled . ` Does the boots and shoes ! ' she repeated in a wondering tone . ` Why , what are YOUR shoes done with ? ' said the Gryphon . ' I mean , what makes them so shiny ? ' Alice looked down at them , and considered a little before she gave her answer . ` They 're done with blacking , I believe . ' ` Boots and shoes under the sea , ' the Gryphon went on in a deep voice , ` are done with a whiting . Now you know . ' ` And what are they made of ? ' Alice asked in a tone of great curiosity . ` Soles and eels , of course , ' the Gryphon replied rather impatiently : ` any shrimp could have told you that . ' ` If I 'd been the whiting , ' said Alice , whose thoughts were still running on the song , ` I 'd have said to the porpoise , `` Keep back , please : we do n't want YOU with us ! '' ' ` They were obliged to have him with them , ' the Mock Turtle said : ` no wise fish would go anywhere without a porpoise . ' ` Would n't it really ? ' said Alice in a tone of great surprise . ` Of course not , ' said the Mock Turtle : ` why , if a fish came to ME , and told me he was going a journey , I should say `` With what porpoise ? '' ' ` Do n't you mean `` purpose '' ? ' said Alice . '
I mean what I say , ' the Mock Turtle replied XXXXX an offended tone .
