The Jungle Book, The Jungle Book, part 6, sentence 67

Mowgli stood as quietly as he could, peering through the open work and listening to the furious din of the fight round the Black Panther--the yells and chatterings and scufflings, and Bagheera’s deep, hoarse cough as he backed and bucked and twisted and plunged under the heaps of his enemies.

Who acts: Mowgli, fight · What happens: stand, peer, listen, back, buck, twist · To what, where: yells, heaps
