The Red Fairy Book, The Little Good Mouse, sentence 149

In the meantime the wicked Prince, who was very angry with Delicia, had sat himself down under a tree, and cried and howled with rage and spite until the King heard him, and cried out from the window:

Who acts: wicked Prince, King · What happens: be, sit down, cry, howl, hear, cry out · To what, where: Prince, meantime, window

This is a sentence of «The Red Fairy Book» by Andrew Lang, The Little Good Mouse. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (wicked Prince, King), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
