The Crimson Fairy Book, The Crimson Fairy Book, part 16, sentence 61

It happened that on the very day Peter had chosen for setting out, Lucia and her mother went off early to the town, leaving him to guard the house; but in spite of that he was on the point of taking his departure when it occurred to him that it might be as well first to test the much-vaunted powers of the magic root for himself.

Who acts: It, Peter, Lucia, departure · What happens: happen, choose, set out, go off, leave, guard · To what, where: Peter, house, departure, vaunted powers
