English Fairy Tales, The Master and His Pupil, sentence 6

One day the master was out, and then the lad, as curious as could be, hurried to the chamber where his master kept his wondrous apparatus for changing copper into gold, and lead into silver, and where was his mirror in which he could see all that was passing in the world, and where was the shell which when held to the ear whispered all the words that were being spoken by anyone the master desired to know about.

Who acts: master, that, shell, anyone · What happens: be, hurry, keep, change, lead, see · To what, where: One day, lad, chamber, wondrous apparatus, copper, gold · Speech: someone speaks here
