Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Anne Lisbeth, sentence 10
She had become quite a lady; she had a comfortable home of her own in the town; and out of doors, when she went for a walk, she wore a bonnet; but she never walked out to see the laborer: that was too far from the town, and, indeed, she had nothing to go for, the boy now belonged to these laboring people.
Who acts: mother, that, boy · What happens: become, have, go, wear, not walk out, see · To what, where: lady, comfortable home, doors, bonnet, laborer, town
