The Crimson Fairy Book, The Crimson Fairy Book, part 17, sentence 9
Lucia’s pretty blue eyes had looked up shyly as he spoke, and now a smile parted her rosy lips; and she stole a glance at her mother to see what she thought about it all; but the dame stood lost in amazement to find that her daughter, whom she could have declared had never been out of her sight, was already well acquainted with the handsome stranger, and quite willing to be his bride.
Who acts: Lucia, smile, daughter · What happens: look up, speak, part, steal, see, think · To what, where: blue eyes, rosy lips, glance, dame, amazement, sight · Speech: someone speaks here
