Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter II. The Pool of Tears, sentence 63

Just then she heard something splashing about in the pool a little way off, and she swam nearer to make out what it was: at first she thought it must be a walrus or hippopotamus, but then she remembered how small she was now, and she soon made out that it was only a mouse that had slipped in like herself.

Who acts: escape, way, mouse · What happens: hear, splash about, swim, make out, think, be · To what, where: something, pool, walrus, mouse · Speech: someone speaks here
