The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Chapter XV. The Discovery of Oz, the Terrible, sentence 126

Fortunately, the Witches of the North and South were good, and I knew they would do me no harm; but the Witches of the East and West were terribly wicked, and had they not thought I was more powerful than they themselves, they would surely have destroyed me.

Who acts: Witches, I, fears · What happens: be, know, do, have, not think, destroy · To what, where: harm, me, fears · Speech: someone speaks here
