Tanglewood Tales, The Pomegranate Seeds., part 2, sentence 43

We had a glimpse of her, as you remember, half hidden among the waving grain, while the four black steeds were swiftly whirling along the chariot, in which her beloved Proserpina was so unwillingly borne away.

Who acts: We, you, four black steeds · What happens: have, remember, hide, wave, whirl, bear away · To what, where: glimpse, waving grain, chariot, beloved Proserpina, mother · Speech: someone speaks here
