"I only took the regular course."
"What was that?" inquired Alice.
"Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with," the Mock Turtle replied; "and
then the different branches of Arithmetic -- Ambition, Distraction,
Uglification, and Derision."
"What else had you to learn?"
"Well, there was Mystery," the Mock Turtle replied, counting off the subjects
on his flippers, -- "Mystery, ancient and modern, with Seaography: then
Drawling -- the Drawling-master was an old conger-eel, that used to come once a
week: HE taught us Drawling, Stretching and Fainting in Coils. I never went to
the Classical master, though. He taught Laughing and Grief, they used to say."
-- Lewis Carroll, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"
