The Crimson Fairy Book, The Crimson Fairy Book, part 16, sentence 87
Dame Ilse had her own opinion as to what kind of commission it was likely to be—brought by a young stranger to a pretty maiden; however, as the meeting would be under her own eye, she made no objection, but called to her industrious daughter, who left off working and came obediently; but when she saw the stranger she stopped short, blushing, and casting down her eyes.
Who acts: Dame, it, young stranger, meeting, industrious daughter · What happens: have, be, bring, make, call, leave off · To what, where: own opinion, own eye, objection, industrious daughter, stranger, eyes · Speech: someone speaks here
