Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter II. The Pool of Tears, sentence 95

When the Mouse heard this, it turned round and swam slowly back to her: its face was quite pale (with passion, Alice thought), and it said in a low trembling voice, “Let us get to the shore, and then I’ll tell you my history, and you’ll understand why it is I hate cats and dogs.”

Who acts: Mouse, it, face, Alice, us, you · What happens: hear, turn round, swim back, be, think, say · To what, where: this, mouse, low trembling voice, us, history, you · Speech: someone speaks here
