Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter VII. A Mad Tea-Party, sentence 144

This piece of rudeness was more than Alice could bear: she got up in great disgust, and walked off; the Dormouse fell asleep instantly, and neither of the others took the least notice of her going, though she looked back once or twice, half hoping that they would call after her: the last time she saw them, they were trying to put the Dormouse into the teapot.

Who acts: piece, Alice, Dormouse, neither, least notice, others · What happens: be, bear, get up, walk off, fall, take · To what, where: great disgust, least notice, others, Dormouse, teapot · Speech: someone speaks here
