The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Chapter I. The Cyclone, sentence 16

When Dorothy, who was an orphan, first came to her, Aunt Em had been so startled by the child’s laughter that she would scream and press her hand upon her heart whenever Dorothy’s merry voice reached her ears; and she still looked at the little girl with wonder that she could find anything to laugh at.

Who acts: Dorothy, laughter, Aunt, merry voice · What happens: be, come, startle, scream, press, reach · To what, where: Dorothy, laughter, hand, ears, anything
