English Fairy Tales, Jack and His Golden Snuff-box, sentence 23

“All right,” said Jack; and away he went to his bed, and said his prayers quietly, and slept till it was near eight o'clock, and he had hardly any time to think what he was to do, till all of a sudden he remembered about the little golden box that his father gave him.

Who acts: Jack, prayers, bed, father · What happens: say, go, sleep, be, have, think · To what, where: bed, little golden box, Jack · Speech: someone speaks here
