The Lord Montagu, Warwick's brother, to whom the king had granted the forfeit title and estates of the earls of Northumberland, distinguished his own retainers, however, by the special request of the ancient Montagus. a Gryphon issuant from a ducal crown.

"No," said Alice. "I don't even know what a mock turtle is." "It's the thing mock turtle soup is made from," said the Queen. "I never saw one or heard of one." "Come on, then," said the Queen, "and he shall tell you his history." They very soon came upon a gryphon, lying fast asleep in the sun.

Along Milton's margins the Gryphon must needs pursue the Arimaspian what a chance, that Arimaspian, for the imaginative pencil! And so it has come about that, while Milton periods are mostly effaced from memory by the sponge of Time, I can still see that vengeful Gryphon, cousin-german to the gentle beast that danced the Lobster Quadrille by a certain shore.

'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?

A cloud crosses His Honour's face, a summer cloud dissolving into sunshine. "It is the pomade of Saul: but it is our own glorious David whose unctuous curls carry the Elysian fragrance."

The whole of the Punjab is astir. Deputy Commissioners, and Extra Assistant Commissioners, and Kookas, and Sikhs, and Mazhabi-Sikhs crowd the stations; but the Gryphon passes fiercely onwards. The light of battle is now in his eye; he is in uniform; a political sword hangs from his divine waist; a looking-glass poses itself before him.

But they HAVE their tails in their mouths; and the reason is here the Mock Turtle yawned and shut his eyes. 'Tell her about the reason and all that, he said to the Gryphon. 'The reason is, said the Gryphon, 'that they WOULD go with the lobsters to the dance. So they got thrown out to sea. So they had to fall a long way. So they got their tails fast in their mouths.

'Each with a lobster as a partner! cried the Gryphon. 'Of course, the Mock Turtle said: 'advance twice, set to partners change lobsters, and retire in same order, continued the Gryphon. 'Then, you know, the Mock Turtle went on, 'you throw the 'The lobsters! shouted the Gryphon, with a bound into the air. as far out to sea as you can 'Swim after them! screamed the Gryphon.

On one side was a group representing a scene from one of the Grimm fairy stories, on the other was Alice in conversation with Gryphon and Mockturtle, the episode looking distressingly stiff and meaningless in its sculptured form.
