Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter XII. Alice’s Evidence, sentence 94

First, she dreamed of little Alice herself, and once again the tiny hands were clasped upon her knee, and the bright eager eyes were looking up into hers—she could hear the very tones of her voice, and see that queer little toss of her head to keep back the wandering hair that _would_ always get into her eyes—and still as she listened, or seemed to listen, the whole place around her became alive with the strange creatures of her little sister’s dream.

Who acts: Alice, bright eager eyes, that, wandering hair, whole place, little sister · What happens: dream, clasp, look up, hear, see, toss · To what, where: Alice, tiny hands, tones, wandering hair, eyes, whole place · Speech: someone speaks here
