The Red Fairy Book, The Three Dwarfs, part 1, sentence 19

One winter’s day when there was a hard frost, and mountain and valley were covered with snow, the woman made a dress of paper, and calling the girl to her said:

Who acts: day, hard frost, woman, calling · What happens: be, cover, make, call, say · To what, where: hard frost, mountain, dress, girl, woman · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of «The Red Fairy Book» by Andrew Lang, The Three Dwarfs, 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 (day, hard frost, woman, calling), 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.
