Like this , you know -- ' He let go the bridle , and stretched out both his arms to show Alice what he meant , and this time he fell flat on his back , right under the horse 's feet . ` Plenty of practice ! ' he went on repeating , all the time that Alice was getting him on his feet again . ` Plenty of practice ! ' ` It 's too ridiculous ! ' cried Alice , losing all her patience this time . ` You ought to have a wooden horse on wheels , that you ought ! ' ` Does that kind go smoothly ? ' the Knight asked in a tone of great interest , clasping his arms round the horse 's neck as he spoke , just in time to save himself from tumbling off again . ` Much more smoothly than a live horse , ' Alice said , with a little scream of laughter , in spite of all she could do to prevent it . ` I 'll get one , ' the Knight said thoughtfully to himself . ` One or two -- several . ' There was a short silence after this , and then the Knight went on again . ` I 'm a great hand at inventing things . Now , I daresay you noticed , that last time you picked me up , that I was looking rather thoughtful ? ' ` You WERE a little grave , ' said Alice . ` Well , just then I was inventing a new way of getting over a gate -- would you like to hear it ? ' ` Very much indeed , ' Alice said politely . ` I 'll tell you how I came to think of it , ' said the Knight . ` You see , I said to myself , `` The only difficulty is with the feet : the HEAD is high enough already . ''
Now , first I put my head on the top of the gate -- then I stand on my head -- then the feet are high enough , you XXXXX -- then I 'm over , you see . '
'm 's daresay get getting looking prevent said save see
