Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter XI. Who Stole the Tarts?, sentence 8

She said this last word two or three times over to herself, being rather proud of it: for she thought, and rightly too, that very few little girls of her age knew the meaning of it at all.

Who acts: Alice, that, few little girls · What happens: say, be, think, girl, know, mean · To what, where: last word, Alice, meaning, all, word · Speech: someone speaks here
