'Wouldn'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?"' 'Don't you
mean "purpose"?' said Alice. 'I mean what I say,' the Mock Turtle
replied in an offended tone. 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.
