The Punishment of the Stingy, and Other Indian Stories, The Blindness of Pi-waṕ-ōk, sentence 86

All the people of the camp stood watching them with wide-staring eyes, and as the two went on, higher and higher, over places where it seemed there was no jutting rock to offer foothold, they held their breath, fearing, expecting, that the next step would be the climbers’ last.

Who acts: people, it, jutting rock, next step · What happens: stand, watch, stare, go on, seem, be · To what, where: people, places, foothold, breath
