She was thinking, like the bottle, of the green wood, and of a young betrothed pair, who were closely connected with herself; she was thinking of that hour, the happiest of her life, in which she had taken part, when she had herself been one of that betrothed pair; such hours are never to be forgotten, let a maiden be as old as she may.

Who acts: maid, thinking, maiden · What happens: think, betroth, connect, take, be, not forget · To what, where: young betrothed pair, part, one, such hours · Speech: someone speaks here
