The Brown Fairy Book, The Brown Fairy Book, part 1, sentence 93

He saw hanging from its battlements many heads, but it had not the least effect upon him that these were heads of men of rank; he listened to no advice about laying aside his fancy, but rode up to the gate and on into the heart of the city.

Who acts: citadel, earth · What happens: see, hang, have, be, listen, lay · To what, where: battlements, least effect, heads, gate
