Tanglewood Tales, The Pomegranate Seeds., part 1, sentence 99

Proserpina continued to cry out, and screamed so long and so loudly that her poor little voice was almost screamed away; and when it was nothing but a whisper, she happened to cast her eyes over a great broad field of waving grain--and whom do you think she saw?

Who acts: Proserpina, voice, great broad field, you · What happens: continue, cry out, scream, scream away, be, happen · To what, where: poor little voice, nothing, eyes, great broad field, grain · Speech: someone speaks here
