Alice is reintroduced to the Duchess, who seems unnecessarily obsessed with morals that make no sense. Alice then meets an extremely rude Gryphon who leads her to a mournful Mock Turtle sitting on a cliff overlooking the sea. The Mock Turtle regales her with a sad tale about the days when he was a real turtle.
