Alice in Wonderland, chapter XII, part 2: Alice's Evidence (sentence first, a pack of cards, and waking up), sentence 36
In the sister's half-dream, Wonderland's sounds turn back into real ones: the rattling teacups into tinkling sheep-bells, the Queen's shrill cries into the voice of the shepherd boy, the Mock Turtle's sobs into the lowing (mooing) of cattle.
Who acts: sounds, sister, Queen, Mock Turtle · What happens: turn back, tinkle, moo, dream, cry, sob · To what, where: half dream, sheep, voice, lowing
