Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter VIII. The Queen’s Croquet-Ground, sentence 115

The Cat’s head began fading away the moment he was gone, and, by the time he had come back with the Duchess, it had entirely disappeared; so the King and the executioner ran wildly up and down looking for it, while the rest of the party went back to the game.

Who acts: head, executioner, arrow, King, rest · What happens: begin, fade away, be, come back, disappear, run · To what, where: moment
