Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Neighbouring Families, sentence 186

A "peep" and three foot-scrapings--in this way she had often greeted throughout the year, and no one here had responded, for those who are once parted do not meet every day; and so this greeting had become a habit with her.

Who acts: way, one, greeting · What happens: greet, respond, part, not meet, become · To what, where: mother, habit
