Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter IX. The Mock Turtle’s Story, sentence 77

“What is his sorrow?” she asked the Gryphon, and the Gryphon answered, very nearly in the same words as before, “It’s all his fancy, that: he hasn’t got no sorrow, you know.

Who acts: sorrow, Gryphon, Turtle, heart · What happens: be, ask, answer, not get, know · To what, where: sorrow, Gryphon, same words, fancy · Speech: someone speaks here
