+Explanation+.--The three short horizontal lines represent each a part of
the compound subject. They are connected by dotted lines, which stand for
the connecting word. The x shows that a conjunction is understood. The line
standing for the word modifier is joined to that part of the subject line
which represents the entire subject. Turn this diagram about, and the
connected horizontal lines will stand for the parts of a compound
predicate.
+Oral Analysis+.---_Wives, sisters_, and _mothers_ form the compound
subject; _anxious_ is a modifier of the compound subject; _and_ connects
_sisters_ and _mothers_.
+Parsing+.--_And_ is a conjunction connecting _sisters_ and _mothers_; _ah_
is an interjection, expressing a sudden burst of feeling.
