The Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault, Upon Earth"], sentence 31

One evening, when they were all in bed and the faggot-maker was sitting with his wife at the fire, he said to her, with his heart ready to burst with grief:

Who acts: children, faggot maker, scarce · What happens: be, sit, say, burst · To what, where: bed, fire, wife · Speech: someone speaks here
