The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 23, sentence 32

In the forest the darkness was so intense that no one perceived what she had done, but when they left the last trees behind them, and emerged into the open country, the sun was up, and for the first time since her babyhood, Desiree found herself in the light of day.

Who acts: darkness, one, Cerisette, trees, Desiree · What happens: be, perceive, do, leave up, emerge, find · To what, where: forest, last trees, open country, Cerisette, light, day
