Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter I. Down the Rabbit-Hole, sentence 68

She generally gave herself very good advice, (though she very seldom followed it), and sometimes she scolded herself so severely as to bring tears into her eyes; and once she remembered trying to box her own ears for having cheated herself in a game of croquet she was playing against herself, for this curious child was very fond of pretending to be two people.

Who acts: Alice, curious child · What happens: give, follow, scold, bring, remember, try · To what, where: good advice, Alice, advice, tears, eyes, box
