The Crimson Fairy Book, The Crimson Fairy Book, part 16, sentence 84

About a month after this, someone knocked at Dame Ilse’s door one day, and she went to see if it was a customer for meal; but in stepped a handsome young man, dressed like a duke’s son, who greeted her respectfully, and asked after her pretty daughter as if he were an old friend, though she could not remember having ever set eyes upon him before.

Who acts: someone, Dame, door, son, man · What happens: knock, go, see, be, step, dress · To what, where: customer, handsome young man, Dame, daughter, old friend, set eyes
