The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 11, sentence 19

'Now I may open it,' she said to herself; and unlocking it with the key which hung to its handle, she raised the lid, but started back as she did so, almost blinded by the light that burst upon her.

Who acts: I, outhouse, key, light · What happens: open, say, unlock, hang, raise, start back · To what, where: money, outhouse, lid · Speech: someone speaks here
