The Red Fairy Book, The Little Good Mouse, sentence 25

But very soon the wicked King clattered into the room, and in a fury because the Queen would not answer when he called to her, he tore back her silken coverings and tweaked off her lace cap, and when all her lovely hair came tumbling down over her shoulders, he wound it three times round his hand and threw her over his shoulder, where he carried her like a sack of flour.

Who acts: wicked King, Queen, head, lovely hair · What happens: clatter, not answer, call, tore back, tweak, come · To what, where: room, fury, Queen, silken coverings, shoulders, hair · Speech: someone speaks here

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 King, Queen, head, lovely hair), 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.
