Sigh - what do they teach in skools these days?  It's "Reeling and
Writhing, of course, to begin with ... and then the different branches
of Arithmetic - Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision"

And I shall leave it to Lewis Carroll via the Mock Turtle's Story in
"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" to explain about Mystery, ancient and
modern with Seaography;  the Classical Master who teaches Laughing and
Grief and the Drawling-master who teaches Drawling, Stretching and
Fainting in Coils. Lessons being 10 hours the first day, 9 the next -
because they lessen from day to day...
