The Pink Fairy Book, The Pink Fairy Book, part 7, sentence 2

It was eight o’clock when he took up his post, and for the first hour he was quite proud of his courage; during the second hour he was well pleased with the large reward that he would get, but in the third hour, when it was getting near eleven, the effects of the wine passed off, and he began to get uncomfortable, for he had heard about this post; that no one had ever escapeed alive from it, so far as was known.

Who acts: bottle, Christian · What happens: be, take up, get, pass off, begin, hear · To what, where: eight o’clock, post, large reward, effects, eleven, wine
