Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter VII. A Mad Tea-Party, sentence 154

Then she went to work nibbling at the mushroom (she had kept a piece of it in her pocket) till she was about a foot high: then she walked down the little passage: and _then_—she found herself at last in the beautiful garden, among the bright flower-beds and the cool fountains.

Who acts: Alice · What happens: go, work, nibble, keep, be, walk down · To what, where: piece, pocket, foot, little passage, Alice, last
