The Red Fairy Book, The Three Dwarfs, part 3, sentence 4

So they travelled on through many more different kinds of country, and then Dapplegrim neighed for the third time; but before he could ask the youth if he heard anything, there was such a neighing on the other side of the heath that the youth thought that hills and rocks would be rent in pieces.

Who acts: they, Dapplegrim, youth · What happens: travel on, neigh, ask, hear, be, think · To what, where: many different kinds, youth, anything, other side, heath, hills · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of «The Red Fairy Book» by Andrew Lang, The Three Dwarfs, part 3. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (they, Dapplegrim, youth), 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.
