The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Chapter IX. The Queen of the Field Mice, sentence 6

The field mouse, now that it was freed from its enemy, stopped short; and coming slowly up to the Woodman it said, in a squeaky little voice:

Who acts: field mouse, head · What happens: free, stop, come, say · To what, where: head, enemy, Woodman, squeaky little voice · Speech: someone speaks here
