Strange to say, they all recognized it at once, and until fear fell upon them they hailed it, not as something long dreamt of and seen at last, but as a familiar friend to whom they were returning home for the holidays.

Who acts: arrows, fear · What happens: say, recognize, fall, hail, see, return · To what, where: sight, long dreamt, last · Speech: someone speaks here
