The Green Fairy Book, The Blue Bird, part 3, sentence 15

So the spy was ordered to go back and pretend to sleep as soundly as ever, and indeed she went to bed earlier than usual, and snored as naturally as possible, and the poor Princess ran to the window and cried:

Who acts: spy, Queen, poor Princess · What happens: order, go back, pretend, sleep, go, snore · To what, where: spy, bed

This is a sentence of «The Green Fairy Book» by Andrew Lang, The Blue Bird, 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 (spy, Queen, poor Princess), 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.
