Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter XII. Alice’s Evidence, sentence 2

“Oh, I _beg_ your pardon!” she exclaimed in a tone of great dismay, and began picking them up again as quickly as she could, for the accident of the goldfish kept running in her head, and she had a vague sort of idea that they must be collected at once and put back into the jury-box, or they would die.

Who acts: Alice, goldfish, jurymen, your · What happens: beg, exclaim, begin, pick up, keep, run · To what, where: pardon, tone, jurymen, head, vague sort, jury box · Speech: someone speaks here
