The Yellow Fairy Book, The Steadfast Tin-soldier, sentence 175

‘You can answer, and you can speak, and I will marry you; but do you know that every word which we are saying and have said has been taken down and will be in the paper to-morrow?

Who acts: You, I, word · What happens: answer, speak, marry, know, say, take down · To what, where: you, word, paper · Speech: someone speaks here

The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (You, I, word), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
