The Jungle Book, The Jungle Book, part 18, sentence 98

As I did not want to plowter about any more in the drizzle and the dark, I put my waterproof over the muzzle of one gun, and made a sort of wigwam with two or three rammers that I found, and lay along the tail of another gun, wondering where Vixen had got to, and where I might be.

Who acts: I, Vixen · What happens: not want, plowter, put, make, find, lay · To what, where: any, drizzle, waterproof, muzzle, sort, two rammers · Speech: someone speaks here
