Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter VI. Pig and Pepper, sentence 44
She said the last word with such sudden violence that Alice quite jumped; but she saw in another moment that it was addressed to the baby, and not to her, so she took courage, and went on again:—
Who acts: Duchess, Alice · What happens: say, jump, see, address, take, go on · To what, where: last word, such sudden violence, violence, Duchess, courage · Speech: someone speaks here
