The Red Fairy Book, The Master Thief, sentence 185

‘Hutetu!’ said the old woman, gnashing her teeth together till they chattered inside her mouth; and then she got out the flask which contained nothing but brandy, and her hands trembled so that she shook the bottle about, and when she drank it made a great gulp in her throat.

Who acts: Hutetu, teeth, woman, flask, hands, bottle · What happens: say, gnash, chatter, get out, contain, tremble · To what, where: teeth, mouth, flask, nothing, bottle, great gulp · Speech: someone speaks here
