Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter V. Advice from a Caterpillar, sentence 75

“Come, my head’s free at last!” said Alice in a tone of delight, which changed into alarm in another moment, when she found that her shoulders were nowhere to be found: all she could see, when she looked down, was an immense length of neck, which seemed to rise like a stalk out of a sea of green leaves that lay far below her.

Who acts: Alice, delight, all, immense length, green leaves · What happens: come, say, change, find, see, look down · To what, where: tone, alarm, shoulders, immense length, sea, delight · Speech: someone speaks here
