Where it comes from
Lewis Carroll wrote it in chapter 11 of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"And that's the jury-box," thought Alice, "and those twelve creatures," (she was obliged to say "creatures," you see, because some of them were animals, and some were birds,) "I suppose they are the jurors." She said this last word two or three times over to herself, being rather proud of it: for she thought, and rightly too, that very few little girls of her age knew the meaning of it at all. However, "jury-men" would have done just as well.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"They're putting down their names," the Gryphon whispered in reply, "for fear they should forget them before the end of the trial."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
