The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 25, sentence 40

The walls were made of pale pink coral, worn smooth by the waters, and round the windows were rows of pearls; the great doors were standing open, and the whole troop floated into the chamber of audience, where the queen, who was half a woman after all, was seated on a throne made of a green and blue shell.

Who acts: windows, great doors, whole troop, queen · What happens: make, wear, be, stand, float, seat · To what, where: walls, chamber, woman, queen, throne
