The Jungle Book, The Jungle Book, part 17, sentence 90

Before Little Toomai had got the ringing out of his head, before even he had shifted his position, there was not an elephant in sight except Kala Nag, Pudmini, and the elephant with the rope-galls, and there was neither sign nor rustle nor whisper down the hillsides to show where the others had gone.

Who acts: Little, Toomai, others · What happens: get, ring out, shift, be, show, go · To what, where: head, position, sign · Speech: someone speaks here
