<!-- .fr -->
| # | verb | tense, mood | who | what, whom | to whom | where | when | other | roles by |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | **is** | present | the fool |  |  |  |  | of the same family; as Lore; of the Coat of Clay; obviously *property* | tree rules |
| 2 | **not** **is** *a condition, not said to happen* | present | Lore |  |  |  |  | with Mrs.; actually, identical *property* | tree rules |

<!-- .note -->
One row per clause the reader finds. «not said here»: a role filled from the clause above. «roles by»: a VerbNet class and frame when one fits the verb, else the reader's rules on the tree.
