Tanglewood Tales, The Golden Fleece., part 3, sentence 27
Thus triumphantly did the Argo sail out of the harbor, amidst the huzzas and good wishes of everybody except the wicked old Pelias, who stood on a promontory, scowling at her, and wishing that he could blow out of his lungs the tempest of wrath that was in his heart, and so sink the galley with all on board.
Who acts: you, wicked old Pelias, Orpheus, wrath, everybody · What happens: do, stand, scowl, wish, blow out, be · To what, where: Argo sail, harbor, promontory, lungs, heart, galley · Speech: someone speaks here
