Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter IV. The Rabbit Sends in a Little Bill, sentence 82

She waited for some time without hearing anything more: at last came a rumbling of little cartwheels, and the sound of a good many voices all talking together: she made out the words: “Where’s the other ladder?—Why, I hadn’t to bring but one; Bill’s got the other—Bill! fetch it here, lad!—Here, put ’em up at this corner—No, tie ’em together first—they don’t reach half high enough yet—Oh! they’ll do well enough; don’t be particular—Here, Bill! catch hold of this rope—Will the roof bear?—Mind that loose slate—Oh, it’s coming down!

Who acts: number, rumbling, sound, Alice, Bill ’s, Bill · What happens: wait, hear, come, talk, make out, not have · To what, where: anything, last, words, other, ladder, ’em
