Celtic Fairy Tales, The Shee an Gannon and the Gruagach Gaire, sentence 38

"If you don't tell me of your own will, I'll make you tell me," said the cowboy; and he put a face on himself that was terrible to look at, and running through the house like a madman, could find nothing that would give pain enough to the Gruagach but some ropes made of untanned sheepskin hanging on the wall.

Who acts: you, cowboy, that, untanned sheepskin · What happens: not tell, make, tell, say, put, be · To what, where: cowboy, you, face, house, nothing, pain · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of «Celtic Fairy Tales» by Joseph Jacobs, The Shee an Gannon and the Gruagach Gaire. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (you, cowboy, that, untanned sheepskin), 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.
