The Violet Fairy Book, The Headless Dwarfs, sentence 26

At last he reached the top, and as he paused for a moment to look round him he saw another headless man cowering in the very bell itself, waiting till Hans should seize the bell-pull in order to strike him a blow with the clapper, which would soon have made an end of him.

Who acts: fellow, headless man · What happens: reach, pause, look, see, cower, wait · To what, where: top, last, bell, bell pull, fellow, clapper · Speech: someone speaks here
