The Blue Fairy Book, The White Cat, part 1, sentence 28

After passing through sixty rooms the hands that conducted him stopped, and the Prince saw a most comfortable-looking arm-chair drawn up close to the chimney-corner; at the same moment the fire lighted itself, and the pretty, soft, clever hands took off the Prince’s wet, muddy clothes, and presented him with fresh ones made of the richest stuffs, all embroidered with gold and emeralds.

Who acts: hands, Prince, fire, pretty soft clever hands, fresh ones · What happens: pass, conduct, stop, see, look, draw up · To what, where: sixty rooms, Love, looking arm chair, fire, wet muddy clothes, fresh ones

This is a sentence of «The Blue Fairy Book» by Andrew Lang, The White Cat, part 1. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (hands, Prince, fire, pretty soft clever hands), 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.
