Peter Pan, Chapter I. PETER BREAKS THROUGH, sentence 64

There are zigzag lines on it, just like your temperature on a card, and these are probably roads in the island, for the Neverland is always more or less an island, with astonishing splashes of colour here and there, and coral reefs and rakish-looking craft in the offing, and savages and lonely lairs, and gnomes who are mostly tailors, and caves through which a river runs, and princes with six elder brothers, and a hut fast going to decay, and one very small old lady with a hooked nose.

Who acts: zigzag lines, these, Neverland, gnomes, river, hut · What happens: be, astonish, look, run, go, decay · To what, where: map, roads, island, craft, offing, tailors

This is a sentence of «Peter Pan» by J. M. Barrie, Chapter I. PETER BREAKS THROUGH. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (zigzag lines, these, Neverland, gnomes), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
