The Violet Fairy Book, Virgilius the Sorcerer, sentence 72

Each of the conquered gods held in its hand a bell, and if there was even a thought of treason in any of the countries its god turned its back upon the god of Rome and rang its bell furiously, and the senators came hurrying to see who was rebelling against the majesty of the empire.

Who acts: god, senators · What happens: conquer, hold, be, turn, ring, come · To what, where: Each, hand, thought, any, back, bell · Speech: someone speaks here
