People already called them "the betrothed," and at parting the girl showed Ib the two nuts, which she had taken care of ever since the time that they lost themselves in the wood; and she told him also that the little wooden shoes he once carved for her when he was a boy, and gave her as a present, had been carefully kept in a drawer ever since.

Who acts: People, girl, Ib · What happens: call, betroth, part, show, take, lose · To what, where: door, girl, Ib, people, wood, little wooden shoes · Speech: someone speaks here
