The Green Fairy Book, Heart of Ice, part 2, sentence 48

So saying she led him back into the wood by a different path, and he saw that it was full of men and women; their faces were pale and haggard, and they ran hither and thither seeking madly upon the ground, or in the air, starting at every sound, pushing and trampling upon one another in their frantic eagerness to find the way to the Golden Rock.

Who acts: dig, path, faces · What happens: say, lead back, see, be, run, seek · To what, where: dig, wood, ground, sound, frantic eagerness, way · Speech: someone speaks here
