Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter XII. Alice’s Evidence, sentence 1
“Here!” cried Alice, quite forgetting in the flurry of the moment how large she had grown in the last few minutes, and she jumped up in such a hurry that she tipped over the jury-box with the edge of her skirt, upsetting all the jurymen on to the heads of the crowd below, and there they lay sprawling about, reminding her very much of a globe of goldfish she had accidentally upset the week before.
Who acts: Alice, jurymen, moment · What happens: cry, forget, grow, jump up, tip, upset on · To what, where: flurry, hurry, jury box, jurymen, much, globe
