The passage it comes from
The quotation is marked in the paragraph it sits in, with the prose either side of it for company.
The Knight looked very much surprised, and a little offended at the remark. "What makes you say that?" he asked, as he scrambled back into the saddle, keeping hold of Alice's hair with one hand, to save himself from falling over on the other side.
"Because people don't fall off quite so often, when they've had much practice."
"I've had plenty of practice," the Knight said very gravely: "plenty of practice!"
