Alice in Wonderland, chapter VI, part 1: The footmen and the Duchess's kitchen, sentence 22

The cook throws fire-irons, saucepans, plates and dishes at the Duchess and the baby; the Duchess takes no notice of them, even when they hit her, and Alice cries "Oh, there goes his precious nose!"; this grinning cat is nothing like Alice's Dinah, who, she told the Mouse, sits "purring so nicely by the fire".

Who acts: cook, Duchess, irons, Alice, grinning cat, Dinah · What happens: throw, take, hit, cry, go, grin · To what, where: fire irons, notice, Duchess, precious nose, nothing, Mouse · Speech: someone speaks here
