The Blue Fairy Book, The Master-maid, part 2, sentence 89

He walked now slowly--more slowly than the sheriff and the attorney had done, but, the slower he went, the more time had everyone to stare and look at him; and they used it too, and no one can imagine how tired out and ragged he looked after his dance with the calf.

Who acts: bailiff, attorney, more time, everyone, sack, one · What happens: walk, do, go, have, stare, look · To what, where: everyone, calf
