Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter VII. A Mad Tea-Party, sentence 27

“It _is_ the same thing with you,” said the Hatter, and here the conversation dropped, and the party sat silent for a minute, while Alice thought over all she could remember about ravens and writing-desks, which wasn’t much.

Who acts: thing, Hatter, conversation, party, Alice, writing desks · What happens: be, say, drop, sit, think, remember · To what, where: same thing, all · Speech: someone speaks here
