The Lilac Fairy Book, The Lilac Fairy Book, part 27, sentence 16

To his dying day Peronnik never knew whether these things were real or if he only imagined them, but he pulled down his knitted cap so as to cover his eyes, and trusted the colt to carry him down the right road.

Who acts: things, earth · What happens: die, not know, be, imagine, pull down, knit · To what, where: things, knitted cap, eyes, colt · Speech: someone speaks here
