Who acts: I, it, faithful little dog, one · What happens: think, retire, seem, be, promise, bring · To what, where: country, me, pretty good company, beautiful little dog · Speech: someone speaks here

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 (I, it, faithful little dog, one), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
