Tanglewood Tales, The Minotaur., part 4, sentence 26

For he kept striding to and fro, in a solitary frenzy of rage, continually emitting a hoarse roar, which was oddly mixed up with half-shaped words; and, after listening a while, Theseus understood that the Minotaur was saying to himself how miserable he was, and how hungry, and how he hated everybody, and how he longed to eat up the human race alive.

Who acts: Theseus, Minotaur · What happens: keep, stride, fro, emit, mix up, shape · To what, where: solitary frenzy, hoarse roar, Theseus, everybody, human race · Speech: someone speaks here
