Whenever the horse stopped {which it did very often}, he fell off in front; and, whenever it went on again {which it generally did rather suddenly}, he fell off behind. Otherwise he kept on pretty well, except that he had a habit of now and then falling off sideways; and, as he generally did this on the side on which Alice was walking, she soon found that it was the best plan not to walk quite close to the horse.
