The Green Fairy Book, The Blue Bird, part 3, sentence 60

Once the nail on which his cage was hung had given way, and his feathered Majesty had suffered much from the fall, while Madam Puss, who happened to be in the room at the time, had given him a scratch in the eye which came very near blinding him.

Who acts: feathered Majesty, Madam, eye · What happens: hang, give, suffer, happen, be, come · To what, where: cage, nail, fall, room, Madam, King

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 (feathered Majesty, Madam, eye), 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.
