Just so stories, The Cat That Walked By Himself, sentence 122

That very minute and second, Best Beloved, the smoke of the fire at the back of the Cave came down in clouds from the roof--puff!--because it remembered the bargain she had made with the Cat, and when it had cleared away--lo and behold!--the Cat was sitting quite comfy close to the fire.

Who acts: minute, puff, Beloved, Cat, fire · What happens: come down, remember, make, clear away, sit, smoke · To what, where: clouds, bargain
