English Fairy Tales, XXI. Childe Rowland., sentence 15

There can be little doubt that Edgar, in his mad scene in _King Lear_, is alluding to our tale when he breaks into the lines:

Who acts: little doubt, Edgar, doubt, our · What happens: be, allude, break, tell · To what, where: little doubt, lines · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of «English Fairy Tales» by Joseph Jacobs, XXI. Childe Rowland.. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (little doubt, Edgar, doubt, our), 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.
