Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter VI. Pig and Pepper, sentence 140

It was so large a house, that she did not like to go nearer till she had nibbled some more of the lefthand bit of mushroom, and raised herself to about two feet high: even then she walked up towards it rather timidly, saying to herself “Suppose it should be raving mad after all!

Who acts: roof, Alice · What happens: be, not like, go, nibble, raise, walk up · To what, where: more, Alice, house · Speech: someone speaks here
