The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 37, sentence 15

Of course the king, whose name was Balancin, was the complete slave of his little girl from the moment he lifted her from the arms of her dead mother; indeed, he did not seem to know that there was anyone else in the world to love.

Who acts: name, king, anyone, Balancin · What happens: be, lift, not seem, know, love, name · To what, where: Balancin, complete slave, daughter, arms · Speech: someone speaks here

The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (name, king, anyone, Balancin), 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.
