The Red Fairy Book, Bushy Bride, sentence 178

Now the Queen, after she thought she had eaten Snowdrop’s lungs and liver, never dreamed but that she was once more the most beautiful woman in the world; so stepping before her mirror one day she said:

Who acts: Queen, SNOWDROP · What happens: think, eat, not dream, be, step, say · To what, where: Queen, lungs, beautiful woman, world, mirror · Speech: someone speaks here

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