More English Fairy Tales, More English Fairy Tales, part 11, sentence 2

And they stumbled and stottered along the paths into the midst of the bogs; they saw nought, though they heard sighings and flutterings in their ears, and felt cold wet fingers touching them; but all at once, looking around for the coffin, the candle, and the cross, while they came nigh to the pool beside the great snag, where the Moon lay buried.

Who acts: darklings, cold wet fingers, Moon · What happens: stumble, stotter, see, hear, feel, touch · To what, where: midst, nought, sighings, ears, cold wet fingers, darklings

This is a sentence of «More English Fairy Tales» by Joseph Jacobs, More English Fairy Tales, part 11. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (darklings, cold wet fingers, Moon), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

Parsed by Mova, not checked by a teacher. This tree is Mova's own parse (the en model, on the CPU, when the site is built); it may be wrong.
