The Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault, Her With a Sauce Robert'"], sentence 28

One evening, as she was, according to her custom, rambling round about the courts and yards of the palace, to see if she could smell any fresh meat, she heard, in a ground-room little Day crying, for his mamma was going to whip him, because he had been naughty; and she heard, at the same time, little Aurora begging pardon for her brother.

Who acts: Queen, little Day, mamma, child, same time · What happens: accord, be, ramble, see, smell, hear · To what, where: fresh meat, ground room, child, pardon
