The Pink Fairy Book, The Pink Fairy Book, part 27, sentence 40
You will not be able to recognise me at all, and therefore I will catch hold of you as I go past, so that you can notice it, and you must then make haste to catch me and hold me fast.
Who acts: You, I, haste · What happens: not be, recognise, catch, go past, notice, make · To what, where: me, all, hold, haste, you
