Irish Fairy Tales, Chapter XX, sentence 4
At the feast Duv Laca sat beside the King of Leinster, but Mongan sat opposite him with Ivell, and Mongan put more and more magic into the hag, so that her cheeks shone and her eyes gleamed, and she was utterly bewitching to the eye; and when Branduv looked at her she seemed to grow more and more lovely and more and more desirable, and at last there was not a bone in his body as big as an inch that was not filled with love and longing for the girl.
Who acts: Duv, Mongan, cheeks, eyes, Branduv · What happens: sit, put, shine, gleam, bewitch, look · To what, where: feast, inch
This is a sentence of «Irish Fairy Tales» by James Stephens, Chapter XX. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Duv, Mongan, cheeks, eyes), 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.
