The Blue Fairy Book, Beauty and the Beast, part 1, sentence 38

When his extreme hunger wakened him after several hours, he was still alone; but a little table, upon which was a good dinner, had been drawn up close to him, and, as he had eaten nothing for twenty-four hours, he lost no time in beginning his meal, hoping that he might soon have an opportunity of thanking his considerate entertainer, whoever it might be.

Who acts: extreme hunger, silence, time, opportunity · What happens: waken, be, draw up, eat, lose, begin · To what, where: silence, good dinner, little table, nothing, meal, opportunity · Speech: someone speaks here
