English Fairy Tales, The Ass, the Table, and the Stick, sentence 13

The lad and the maiden were fast friends and true loves; but when Jack asked his father's leave to marry the girl, “Never till you have the money to keep her,” was the reply.

Who acts: lad, Jack, you · What happens: be, love, ask, marry, not have, keep · To what, where: fast friends, leave, girl, money, widow, reply · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of «English Fairy Tales» by Joseph Jacobs, The Ass, the Table, and the Stick. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (lad, Jack, you), 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.
