The Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault, Towards Her"], sentence 113
By good fortune the next day chanced to be a holiday, and so she had leisure to tap for her chest with the fairy's wand, arrange her toilet, powder her beautiful hair and put on the lovely gown which was the colour of the weather; but the room was so small that the train could not be properly spread out.
Who acts: Princess, lovely gown, room · What happens: chance, be, have, arrange, powder, put · To what, where: holiday, leisure, toilet, beautiful hair, lovely gown, colour
