Alice in Wonderland, chapter VIII, part 1: The Queen's Croquet-Ground (painting the roses red), sentence 21

The gardeners lie face down, and their backs have the same pattern as the rest of the pack, so the Queen can't tell who they are.

Who acts: gardeners, backs, Queen · What happens: lie down, face, have, not tell, be · To what, where: same pattern · Speech: someone speaks here
