The Pink Fairy Book, The Pink Fairy Book, part 2, sentence 73

But the whole shop, from the till down to the shavings, from that night changed their opinion of the tub, and they looked up to it, and had such faith in it that they were under the impression that when the grocer read the art and drama critiques out of the paper in the evenings, it all came from the tub.

Who acts: whole shop, Goblin, grocer, tub, shavings · What happens: change, look up, have, be, read, come · To what, where: opinion, tub, such faith, impression, paper
