The Yellow Fairy Book, Hermod and Hadvor (32), sentence 35

‘I think,’ said Olof, ‘that your wooer will come up through the floor of the castle to you, and so you must be prepared when you hear the noise of his coming and the floor begins to open, and have at hand blazing pitch, and pour plenty of it into the opening.

Who acts: I, Olof, wooer, you, floor, hand · What happens: think, say, come up, prepare, hear, come · To what, where: you, floor, noise, hand, pitch, plenty · Speech: someone speaks here
