Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Under the Willow-tree, part 1, sentence 90
At parting, Joanna's father had said, "Now, you won't quite forget us; you must not let the whole winter go by without paying us another visit;" so that Knud felt himself free to go again the following Sunday evening, and so he did.
Who acts: father, you, whole winter, Knud · What happens: say, not forget, not let, go by, pay, feel · To what, where: parting, us, father · Speech: someone speaks here
