Alice in Wonderland, chapter IV, part 1: Stuck in the White Rabbit's house, sentence 22

Pat says he is "Digging for apples, yer honour!" ("yer honour" = sir), which is nonsense, since apples grow on trees; the Rabbit calls him "you goose" (silly), Pat says the thing in the window is "an arm", and the Rabbit orders him to take it away: "Do as I tell you, you coward!"

Who acts: Pat, yer honour, apples, Rabbit, thing, Alice · What happens: say, dig, be, grow, call, order · To what, where: nonsense, trees, Pat, arm, thing, you · Speech: someone speaks here
