The Green Fairy Book, Heart of Ice, part 2, sentence 61
‘You are right there,’ said the old woman, and immediately she stood up, and as they gazed at her in horror she grew gigantic and terrible, her staff turned to a fiery dragon with outstretched wings, her ragged cloak to a golden mantle, and her wooden shoes to two bundles of rockets.
Who acts: You, old woman, Queen, women, staff · What happens: be, say, stand up, gaze, grow, turn · To what, where: horror, ragged cloak · Speech: someone speaks here
