` What sort of a dance is it ? ' ` Why , ' said the Gryphon , ` you first form into a line along the sea-shore -- ' ` Two lines ! ' cried the Mock Turtle . ` Seals , turtles , salmon , and so on ; then , when you 've cleared all the jelly-fish out of the way -- ' ` THAT generally takes some time , ' interrupted the Gryphon . ' -- you advance twice -- ' ` 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 . ` Turn a somersault in the sea ! ' cried the Mock Turtle , capering wildly about . ` Change lobsters again ! ' yelled the Gryphon at the top of its voice . ` Back to land again , and that 's all the first figure , ' said the Mock Turtle , suddenly dropping his voice ; and the two creatures , who had been jumping about like mad things all this time , sat down again very sadly and quietly , and looked at Alice . ` It must be a very pretty dance , ' said Alice timidly . ` Would you like to see a little of it ? ' said the Mock Turtle . ` Very much indeed , ' said Alice .
` Come , let 's try the first XXXXX ! '
