Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter I. Down the Rabbit-Hole, sentence 57

However, this bottle was _not_ marked “poison,” so Alice ventured to taste it, and finding it very nice, (it had, in fact, a sort of mixed flavour of cherry-tart, custard, pine-apple, roast turkey, toffee, and hot buttered toast,) she very soon finished it off.

Who acts: Alice, bottle · What happens: not mark, venture, taste, find, have, mix · To what, where: bottle, fact, mixed flavour, cherry tart
