What curious attitudes he goes into!' {For the messenger kept skipping up and down, and wriggling like an eel, as he came along, with his great hands spread out like fans on each side.}'Not at all,' said the King. 'He's an Anglo-Saxon Messenger-and those are Anglo-Saxon attitudes. He only does them when he's happy.
"What curious attitudes he goes into!" described in the story shows a messenger acting in an exaggerated and lively manner, jumping and wriggling excitedly as he moves. His hands are spread out wide, resembling fans, which emphasizes his energetic and expressive behavior.
"Not at all," the King replied, explaining that these actions are typical of an Anglo-Saxon messenger. According to him, such gestures are simply signs of happiness and enthusiasm, highlighting cultural differences in expressing emotion. The scene captures the whimsical and humorous tone typical of Lewis Carroll's work.
