English Fairy Tales, The Three Heads of the Well, sentence 18

Coming to the hedge and using the old man's wand, it divided, and let her through; then, coming to the well, she had no sooner sat down than a golden head came up singing:

Who acts: wand, lady, golden head · What happens: come, use, divide, let through, have, sit down · To what, where: hedge, wand, lady, well

This is a sentence of «English Fairy Tales» by Joseph Jacobs, The Three Heads of the Well. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (wand, lady, golden head), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
