The Red Fairy Book, The Ratcatcher, sentence 6

Who acts: furious noise, gimlets · What happens: be, not rest, noise · To what, where: deaf man

This is a sentence of «The Red Fairy Book» by Andrew Lang, The Ratcatcher. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (furious noise, gimlets), 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.
