The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 1, sentence 75

When the Shifty Lad thought that the hour had nearly come for the sermon to be over, he hid himself in some bushes in a little path that led straight to his mother’s house, and, as she passed along, thinking of all the good things she had heard, a voice shouted close to her ear ‘Robbery!

Who acts: Shifty Lad, hour, widow, little path, House · What happens: think, come, be, hide, lead, pass along · To what, where: widow, bushes, good things, voice, ear · Speech: someone speaks here
