The Wind in the Willows, chapter IV, part 1: Mr. Badger (the door in the snow and the fire-lit kitchen), sentence 18

The book says it is a place «where heroes could fitly feast after victory, where weary harvesters could line up in scores along the table» (fitly = rightly) — and the plates «grinned at pots on the shelf», as if the room itself were smiling.

Who acts: book, heroes, weary harvesters, plates, room · What happens: say, be, feast, line up, grin, smile · To what, where: place, pots · Speech: someone speaks here
