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
"Where's her child? Here?" "No, with some relations till the trial's over." The butler opened the door, and immediately Dion's eyes rested on Mrs. Clarke, who happened to be standing very near to it with Esme Darlington. Directly Dion saw her he knew at whom he was looking. Something he could not have said what told him.
Though thorny the pathway 'neath our feet, Though nothing in life be left that's sweet; Though friends prove faithless in trial's hours And love a curst and poisonous flower; Though Belial stalk in priestly gown And virtue's reward is fortune's frown; Though true hearts bleed and the coward slave Tramples in dust the fallen brave; Think not the unworthy acts of men Will 'scape the recording angel's pen; The sword of God, in ruin and wraith, Will surely fall!

These considerations determined the Commodore to destroy the Trial's prize and to reinforce the Gloucester with the greatest part of her crew. And in consequence of this resolve, all the stores on board the Trial's prize were removed into the other ships, and the prize herself, with the Carmelo and Carmen, were prepared for scuttling with all the expedition we were masters of.
The Trial had, however, sprung all her masts, but, bad weather coming on, no assistance could for some time be rendered her. When at length the weather moderated, her commander came on board, and representing her leaky and unseaworthy state, requested that he and his crew might be transferred to the ship which he had just taken, which was now called the Trial's Prize.
'Chorus again! cried the Gryphon, and the Mock Turtle had just begun to repeat it, when 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, without waiting for the end of the song.
"Well," replied Woodward, "trial's all; but at any rate, I'm willing to prefer good flesh and bone to quicksilver." In a few minutes the horse was brought out, saddled and bridled, and Woodward, who certainly was an excellent horseman, mounted him and tried his paces. "Well, sir," said Murray, "how do you like him?" "I like him well," said Woodward.
However she continued in the offing the next day, but had no chance of coming to an anchor unless the wind and current shifted; and therefore the Commodore repeated his assistance, sending to her the Trial's boat manned with the Centurion's people, and a further supply of water and other refreshments.
