The train emits telegrams as it hurls itself forward: "the Gryphon is well: he is in the presence of his Future: History watches him: he is drinking a peg: the Civil and Military Gazette has caught a glimpse of him: glory, glory, glory, to the Gryphon, the mock turtle is his wash-pot, over Lyall will he cast his shoe." Earthquakes are felt all along the line from Peshawar to Kabul.
So Alice began telling them her adventures from the time when she first saw the White Rabbit. After a while a cry of "The Trial's beginning!" was heard in the distance. "Come on!" cried the Gryphon. And, taking Alice by the hand, it hurried off. "What trial is it?" Alice panted, as she ran, but the Gryphon only answered, "Come on!" and ran the faster. VI. The Trial of the Knave of Hearts
This was quite a new idea to Alice, and she thought it over a little before she made her next remark. 'Then the eleventh day must have been a holiday? 'Of course it was, said the Mock Turtle.
