KNOT I.
EXCELSIOR.

The ruddy glow of sunset was already fading into the
somebre shadows of night, when two travelers might have been observed swiftly--at a pace of six miles in the hour--descending the rugged side of a mountain; the younger bounding from k crag to crag with the agility of a fawn, while his companion, whose aged limbs seemed ill at ease in the heavy chain armour habitually worn by tourists in that district, toiled on painfully at his side.

A TANGLED TALES

BY
LEWIS CARROLL

PREFACE

This tale originally appeared as a serial in The Monthly
Packet, beginning in April,1880. The writer‘s intention was to embody in each Knot (like the medicine so dexterously, but ineffectually, concealed in the jam of our early childhood) one or more mathematical questions--in Arithmetic, Algebra, or Geometry, as the case might be--for the amusement, and possible edification, of the fair readers of that magazine.

L. c.

October, 1885.
