Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore, Chapter II. MYTHOLOGICAL, part 12, sentence 25

And therefore it was that Vasilissa would never eat all her share of a meal, but always kept the most delicate morsel for her doll; and at night, when all were at rest, she would shut herself up in the narrow chamber[184] in which she slept, and feast her doll, saying[185] the while:

Who acts: life, girl · What happens: not be, keep, be, shut up, sleep, feast · To what, where: delicate morsel, rest, girl, narrow chamber, doll, 185 · Speech: someone speaks here
