The Wind in the Willows, chapter IV, part 1: Mr. Badger (the door in the snow and the fire-lit kitchen), sentence 2
The moment he hears it is Ratty, the Badger's voice changes completely: «Come along in, both of you, at once.» He is in his dressing-gown with a candle, on his way to bed, but he pats their heads like a kind old uncle and leads them down a shabby passage to his kitchen.
Who acts: he, moment, voice · What happens: hear, be, change, come along, pat, lead down · To what, where: it, Ratty, dressing gown, heads · Speech: someone speaks here
