Alice in Wonderland, chapter XII, part 1: Alice's Evidence (Rule Forty-two and the unsigned letter), sentence 25

Alice: «that's not a regular rule: you invented it just now.» King: «It's the oldest rule in the book.» Alice: «Then it ought to be Number One.» The King turns pale, shuts his note-book and says to the jury, in a low, trembling voice, «Consider your verdict» — the second time he has said it at this trial.

Who acts: that, jury, rule, King · What happens: not be, invent, be, turn, shut, say · To what, where: regular rule, rule, oldest rule, book, Number, note book · Speech: someone speaks here
