Embedded sentences

0 Hi,02br
02br
00Is anyone any good at recognising embedded sentences? How many can you find in these two pieces from Alice In Wonderland?02br
02br
00 was just beginning to think to herself, ‘Now, what02br
02br
00 00 00am I to do with this creature when I get it home?’ when02br
02br
00 00 00it grunted again, so violently, that she looked down into02br
02br
00 00 00its face in some alarm.02br
02br
02br
02br
00 00ii) This time there could be no mistake about it: it was02br
02br
00 00 00 00neither more nor less than a pig, and she felt that it02br
02br
00 00 00would be quite absurd for her to carry it any farther.02br
02br
02br
00 Thanks. 0-
