The Book of Dragons, Opening, part 6, sentence 15

When they came to St. George's Church they found the door open, and they walked right in--but St. George was not there, so they walked around the churchyard outside, and presently they found the great stone tomb of St. George, with the figure of him carved in marble outside, in his armor and helmet, and with his hands folded on his breast.

Who acts: deliverers, George · What happens: come, find, walk, not be, carve, fold · To what, where: Church, door, churchyard, great stone tomb, figure, marble · Speech: someone speaks here
