Uncle Remus, His Songs and His Sayings, A Story of the War, sentence 5

The bells of several locomotives were ringing, a number of trains were moving in and out, and the porters and baggage-men were screaming and bawling to such an extent that for several moments Miss Huntingdon was considerably confused; so much so that she paused in the hope that her brother would suddenly appear and rescue her from the smoke, and dust, and din.

Who acts: bells, porters, extent, Vermont, brother · What happens: ring, move, scream, bawl, be, pause · To what, where: number, extent, dust, hope, Vermont, smoke
