More English Fairy Tales, More English Fairy Tales, part 20, sentence 9
After what Miss Fison (who, as I have recently learned, was the collector of _Tom Tit Tot_ and _Cap o' Rushes_), Mrs. Balfour, and Mrs. Gomme have done in the way of collecting among the folk, we may still hope for substantial additions to our stock to be garnered by ladies from the less frequented portions of English soil.
Who acts: Miss, Mrs., way, we, ladies, our · What happens: learn, be, do, collect, hope, garner · To what, where: collector, way, portions · Speech: someone speaks here
