Tanglewood Tales, The Pygmies., part 3, sentence 34
His speech was followed by an uproar of applause, as its patriotism and self-devotion unquestionably deserved; and the shouts and clapping of hands would have been greatly prolonged, had they not been rendered quite inaudible by a deep respiration, vulgarly called a snore, from the sleeping Hercules.
Who acts: uproar, patriotism, clapping, deep respiration, fame · What happens: follow, deserve, shout, have, be, not render · To what, where: speech, clapping, patriotism, snore, hands · Speech: someone speaks here
