Alice in Wonderland, chapter II, part 2: The Pool of Tears and the Mouse, sentence 14

The Mouse says nothing to her English, so Alice thinks "Perhaps it doesn't understand English" and guesses it is a French mouse "come over with William the Conqueror", although she has no clear idea how long ago history happened (William came in 1066).

Who acts: Mouse, Alice, way, French mouse, history, William · What happens: say, think, not understand, guess, be, come over · To what, where: nothing, English, French mouse, clear idea, 1066 · Speech: someone speaks here
