Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter IV. The Rabbit Sends in a Little Bill, sentence 109

“The first thing I’ve got to do,” said Alice to herself, as she wandered about in the wood, “is to grow to my right size again; and the second thing is to find my way into that lovely garden.

Who acts: first thing, Alice, second thing · What happens: get, do, say, wander, be · To what, where: first thing, Alice, wood, lovely garden · Speech: someone speaks here
