Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter XII. Alice’s Evidence, sentence 89

At this the whole pack rose up into the air, and came flying down upon her: she gave a little scream, half of fright and half of anger, and tried to beat them off, and found herself lying on the bank, with her head in the lap of her sister, who was gently brushing away some dead leaves that had fluttered down from the trees upon her face.

Who acts: Alice, sister, dead leaves · What happens: rise up, come, fly down, give, try, beat off · To what, where: whole pack, little scream, scream, Alice, bank, dead leaves
