More English Fairy Tales, Ætat. XIII, sentence 33

But even the reader innocent of folk-lore can see that, holding these views, I do not attribute much anthropological value to tales whose origin is probably foreign, and am certainly not likely to make a hard-and-fast division between tales of the North Countrie and those told across the Border.

Who acts: reader, I, origin, North Countrie · What happens: see, hold, not attribute, be, not be, make · To what, where: that, views, much anthropological value, hard fast division, Border · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of «More English Fairy Tales» by Joseph Jacobs, Ætat. XIII. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (reader, I, origin, North Countrie), 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.
