The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 18, sentence 70

Maurice had not the power to say a word more, for the strange lady with the green hair, seeing the wave just upon them, covered him up with herself in a thing like a cloak with a big hood to it, and the wave curling over twice as high as their heads, burst upon the strand, with a rush and a roar that might be heard as far as Cape Clear.

Who acts: Maurice, wave · What happens: have, say, see, cover up, curl, burst · To what, where: power, word, wave, Maurice, strand, roar · Speech: someone speaks here
