English Fairy Tales, Jack and His Golden Snuff-box, sentence 96

And they let him go, and he was down for three days and three nights; and up he comes, and shows his nose and little mouth out of the water; and all of them asked him, Did he get it? and he told them, No. “Well, what are you doing there, then?”

Who acts: frogs, valet, all, No. · What happens: let, go, be, come, show, ask · To what, where: valet, nose, water, frogs · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of «English Fairy Tales» by Joseph Jacobs, Jack and His Golden Snuff-box. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (frogs, valet, all, No.), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
