Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter IV. The Rabbit Sends in a Little Bill, sentence 31

She went on growing, and growing, and very soon had to kneel down on the floor: in another minute there was not even room for this, and she tried the effect of lying down with one elbow against the door, and the other arm curled round her head.

Who acts: thing, effect · What happens: go, grow, have, kneel down, try, lie down · To what, where: other arm, floor, effect, head
