The Crimson Fairy Book, The Crimson Fairy Book, part 36, sentence 9

Now Lizina was not happy at home, for her mother, who was a widow, was much fonder of her elder daughter; so that often the younger one fared very badly, and had not enough to eat, while the elder could have everything she desired, and if Lizina dared to complain she was certain to have a good beating.

Who acts: Lizina, mother, younger one, elder · What happens: not be, be, fare, eat, have, desire · To what, where: home, widow, everything, good beating · Speech: someone speaks here
