The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 10, sentence 22

Down, down, down went the girl--it seemed as if the well must reach to the very middle of the earth; but at last her feet touched the ground, and she found herself in a field more beautiful than even the summer pastures of her native mountains.

Who acts: it, well, woman · What happens: go, seem, reach, touch, find · To what, where: girl, ground, last feet, woman, field
