Tanglewood Tales, The Golden Fleece., part 1, sentence 22

But his whole attire was such as people did not very often see; and as he passed along, the women and children ran to the doors and windows, wondering whither this beautiful youth was journeying, with his leopard's skin and his golden-tied sandals, and what heroic deeds he meant to perform, with a spear in his right hand and another in his left.

Who acts: whole attire, people, Jason, women, beautiful youth, heroic · What happens: be, do, not see, pass along, run, wonder · To what, where: spear, right hand · Speech: someone speaks here
