The Blue Fairy Book, Chapter IV, sentence 41

Out of gratitude for your favors I procured information of the whole proceedings, venturing my head for your service, and this was the charge against you:

Who acts: I, this, your, whole proceedings · What happens: procure, venture, be, favor, inform, service · To what, where: information, gratitude, head, charge

This is a sentence of «The Blue Fairy Book» by Andrew Lang, Chapter IV. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (I, this, your, whole proceedings), 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.
