Her first idea was that she had somehow fallen into the sea, “and in that case I can go back by railway,” she said to herself.

This is a sentence of «Alice's Adventures in Wonderland» by Lewis Carroll, Chapter II. The Pool of Tears. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (first idea, door), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
