The Book of Dragons, Opening, part 4, sentence 15

Now, you will remember that I told you there was one wicked person in Rotundia, and I cannot conceal from you any longer that this Complete Bad was the Princess's Uncle James.

Who acts: you, I, one wicked person, Complete Bad · What happens: remember, tell, be, not conceal · To what, where: you, Uncle James · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of «The Book of Dragons» by E. Nesbit, Opening, part 4. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (you, I, one wicked person, Complete Bad), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
